Result Inevitable

AS usual, he was the kind OF
a bird who wound up behind the
four ball. (They once wound
up behind the eight ball, but.
due to the depression, it's the
four ball now. His bride-to-be
wasn't a thoroughly bad girl and
I suppose that, in her heart, she
really loved George. But she was
a very sexy sort Of damsel, and
she never did quite see the harm
in a little variety.
The result was inevitable. It's
just as well it happened before
marriage, because, had 1t hap
pened after the little band was
on the finger, some undertaken
would have had three first
class jobs on his hands.
It took place in the Gus
tomary fashion. George phoned
and said he wouldn't be able
to drop in that night. He
found later that he could,
however, and decided to sur
prise his little sweetheart. He
surprised her all right, and he
also surprised the gentleman in
whose arms she was most COM
fortab1y resting. I might, as
an afterthought, add the fact
that ne too was slightly sur
prised.
Strange how the man re-
acted. Some birds go daffy.
Some throw things. Some cry
bitter tears. Some curse and
rant. Some attempt to throw
the other man out of the win
dow.
Has a Long Laugh
George did none of these
things. After the first shock
George closed his eyes and
Swayed slightly. Then he be-
gan to laugh. He laughed as
though the wretched scene be-
fore him was the greatest Of
comedies. He opened the door
and walked out. When he
reached the street, he was still
laughing.
But when he reached his
home and threw himself on
his nod the laugh was over.
And he didn't laugh again for
a long, long time e.

Miss Van Wagener to
Teach Fox Dances

Practice makes perfect, says the
copy book axiom, and this applies
to Miss Lois Van Wagner, who
has been a constant attendant at
the Fox Theater Free Dancing
since it's opening September, 1890.
When Miss Margaret Oulahan,
assistant dancing instructor at
the school, became i'll and was ad-
vised by her physician not to
dance for year, the instructor,
Mis- Kearney, found herself over
burdened with pupils.
Miss WAGNER, due to her con.
slant attendance and diligence,
was named for the assistant post.

the left hip moves along the line of
flight in a lateral motion. 1t isn't a
right to left motion, a twisting motion
or a turning motion, that so many
have. That doesn't take place until
after the ball is hit. Watch the star
golfers and notice how their two
shoulders are on line. parallel to the
line of flight, as the club head comes
into the ball. The left side is set and
ready to keep the swing in place and
the chin or head is held as an anchor
to prevent the body turning or coming
up too soon.
But with most golfers the turning
motion from the right side starts too
quickly. And with most golfers the
more powerful body throttles the work
OF hands, wrists and arms, which, after
all. are supposed to be swinging the
