"STINGINESS" NOT
TO BE COMPARED
WITH DUE THRIFT

"Have you heard the story about
the queen of England tearing off un-
used sheets in her morning mail to
use them for note paper?
1T strikes me that's pretty small.
It's one thing to be extravagant, an
other to be stingy. And when 1T
comes to queenliness-well. what do
you think about it?"
This question, addressed to a rec
ognized student of life and its ways.
was thus answered:
For my part cannot see any
thing 'stingy' in being saving, in
abominating waste. Nor anything in
compatible with queenliness in hus-
bandry and thrift.
"Stinginess is a quality of mean
ness that grows out of selfishness
1t Is a niggardliness toward others
because of righteousness for one
self. The stingy person might quite
conceiyably be the last one to bother
to salvage unused bits of paper. be-
Ing too selfish to take the trouble.
Neither would that person give to
charity the huge sums made posi-
BILE by the personal thrift of the Brit
iSh queen.
Il have seen this quality of being
saving and meanness confused be-
fore. And confusion if is indeed. For
often it is the very self-indulgence
of the extravagant which necessi.
tates meanness on their part toward
others.
1.-THE most generous woman I have
ever known was one of the most fru-
gal and saving. Living for many
years on a fixed income, she once
said that her only interest in having
money was to be free of the fric-
tons engendered by money. And she
kept her own needs at such a mini
mum as always to have the neces-
sary surplus for openhanC SIS.
and generosity to others.
my respect for the que i Of Eng
land is intensified by the knowledge
of her personal husbandry an her
well known efforts with her house
hold budget-as well as her many
good works which these efforts go
to further"

Summer. Throughout his 1892
Summer campaign Dutra averaged
only 80 puts per round and won
the reputation Of being one of
the best putters in the game.
Early in the Winter Dutra was stricken
with influenza, and with it he lost his
putting touch. something that frequent
ly leaves the best of golfers without
warning. Many star professionals ad-
vised Dutra on his putting during the
Winter, but somehow he was unable to
regain the touch that made him so out
standing during the Summer.
Now he is back on the practice greens
at Brentwood, endeavoring to WOO back
his dexterity on the green rugs. Dutra
is certain to regain his lost putting form.
Few professionals practice more dill
gently than the big Californian or with
more intelligence. Two hours Of prac-
tice per day Is nothing to Dutra, and
he declares he has spent far more time
in perfecting his game than he has in
playing.
DUTRA in his best putting form is a

proposed as a substitute for Gene Sara
zen's much discussed 8-inch cups.
The tournament, to start on April J.,
will run for a week and will be open
to all members Of the club and their
guests on a blind bogey basis. Each
contestant will choose his handicap
and play against q figure to be picked
by the club Golf Committee. The
8 inch cups have been tried at
several local courses, among them

Potomac Park But the 4l2-inch cups
still remain standard equipment.

Baltimore pro, has gotten himself quite
a reputation as long hitter. Gin

Washington's lengthiest golf layout: On
such a course his powerful wallops
find their true outlet. But Clih Is
more of a real slugger than most folks
realize. Some Of the pros claim he Is
longer from the tee than his brother
Glenn-who Is recognized, with Monro
Hunter, as one of the longest hitters
among the pros in this section.
Cliff takes a great cut at the ball
and when he catches it on the nose. 1t
goes for a long ride, far and fast, away
from there. With little more atten-
tion to the short game Cliff Spencer
could win a lot of tournaments. He
has made himself very popular with
the membership at Beaver Dam and Is
doing a fine job at that club.
Members of the Executive Committee
of the Women's District Golf Associa-

final stamp Of approval on the compre-
hersive golf schedule which the women

make up this deficiency, Miss Wall over

was forced to try for long puts.
Despite a steady rain that slowed up
the greens and made puts uncertain,
Miss Orcutt rang up birdie, shot five
holes in par and was never more than

the first nine holes of 40. Women's par
