It wasn't a correspondence
course in court tactics that &C
compliShed it. either-just a let
ter of introduction and it
worked like a charm.
From it has evolved the cham
pion duo of the Wardman Park
fall invitation tennis tournament,
one of the major events of the
season. Long before he came to
Washington, Ralph McElvenny,
brilliant western racquet wielder,
had heard Of Clarence M. Char
est. When he learned he was
coming to the Capital City, Nc
Elvenny obtained letter Of in
PRODUCTION to Charest, through
mutual friend who was also
netman.
Debut With Southpaw
Meeting Charest, he found him
very likeable and as good player
as he had supposed from the Sec
ond hand information. If there's
anything MAC" prefers to play
ing singles, it's playing doubles.
They took all of their prelimi-
nary matches at WarCiman in
great style, winding up their
work with a final victory over an
other outstanding pair, Tom
Mangan and AXel Craven, 6-1,
60, Ga.
To grasp the significance of
what quartet like the Wardman
double finalists means, what po-
tentialities it possesses, one must
have a good memory
Take Axel Craven for one. He
was living in San Francisco in
1919 and when the national rank
ings for that year were drawn up,
it was revealed that only is were
placed ahead of him in the sin
giles. And that list contained such
names as Big Bill Tilden, Little
Bill" Johntson, Watson Washburn
and Norris Williams, Behind
Craven were such players as
Howard Kinsey and Vincent Rich
ards. He was third in the city of
Chicago, George Lott heading the
list.
Better in Doubles
In doubles, he was even better.
So good was Mr.. Craven he re-
ceived two rankings the same
year. Teamed with Bob Kinsey,
he was graded eighth nationally.
He was given eleventh place along
with Edmund Levey in the same
list.
His partner, Margan, was the
Middle Atlantic titlist in 1926,
being placed ahead of Edward
Jacobs, of Baltimore, and c. M.
Charest. He also annexed the
Eastern Maryland crown and was
q finalist in the Old Dominion
tourney. He has beaten Fritz
Mercur, and has extended Bill
Tilden.
Clarence M. Charest has won
the U. S. Veterans championship
three times. He has been a lead.
ing player in this section for a
generation. In 1920 he and War.
rem Sweeny, a Baltimore team, re.
ceived thirty.fourth place in the
national rankings and were the
Middle Atlantic champions.
And lastly, since he is the
youngest, Ralph McElvenny is to
be considered. He was rated
twenty-fourth in the United States
in 1928 and he and Alan Herring
ton, both of Stanford's intercol-
legiate champions that year, were
rated seventh among the coun.

 On my way over to the John- sons. l caught fleeting glimpse of Mary hurrying toward the town skating pond with several of her young friends, all with newly sharpened skates dangling on their arms. Mary is very speedy on the ice and loves to skate. She never misses an afternoon when the safety ball is flying and this year she is getting in trim for the big town ice tournament.
 Claire goes to the park with her sled and Mrs Johnson has no wor- ries about accidents because sev- eral of the hilly spots are reserved for the younger children. Claire comes back in time for dinner, and after strenuous afternoon of ex- ercise in tho winter air she eats a hearty meal without any coaxing. Brother Bill is very busy this year. He and his friends have be- come interested in skiing. They made their own skis of barrel slaves and leather straps, and needless to say there are plenty of spills and thrills attached to the sport.
 Bill and some of the older boys of the town help to take care of the toboggan slides and this year they are going to work on the entertain ment committee for the annual ice carnival. There are to be all kinds of races, including an obstacle race, one-skate races and other comedy features. There is also a snow sculpture competition for the younger children and q figure skating competition for the older ones. And as Q grand finale there Is to be an outdoor supper with hot drinks and sandwiches eaten around great bonfires built on the snow. Altogether, providing the weather man Is kind. the ice car- nival this year promises to be an historic occasion!
 But to get back to the Johnson family--even Baby John is treated to a fair share of winter air and he thrives on 1t. He still has daily sun baths in front of q sheltered window and of course his daily outing during the most pleas- ant hours of the day.
 Needless to say, all the Johnson children are sensibly dressed for the cold weather. The girls have warm leather jackets and woolen skirts. Robert and John have woolen play suits with ieggings, and Bill has tweed knickers'

I'm good?"
 "I know you are!"
 Brady nodded sarcastically to- ward them from the middle of the floor. Lay off that stuff" he called, not unkindly. Sure, both Q you are going up in electric lights - some day. But to-day there's work to do. Snap into 1t now!" Dick Stanley glanced about the long room with unabashcd in- terest. "Quite place, isn't this?' he said. It was all new to Stanley. This was the world of Broadway where values were altered from those which governed his own shel- tered life. In Stanley's set 1t was what one had in his pocket. Here 1t was talent that catalogued men and women.
 From the practice rooms came the medley of strains - jazz tom- toming wildly, crooning sounding gently, feet tapping brlskly. Hhe praise offered, abuse piled on the arrogant little dance arrangers of WhVSS CAtStCAC0 thC puphS WVdAA | never know.
 Feet were briskly flying, clicking. Two girls in a sister act crooned in harmony. A heavy voice called, That's fine, baby. You're coming. Slide, kick, da dada! That's it. One, two three!'
 Little windows in each door per- mitted interested persons to gaze. Dick observed. That is to say, he | observed the little windows. He did not know that they had been put there for two precise reasons propriety, and to facilitate search ing out a particular performer or an accompanist. They were not in. tended for idle spectators such as Dick Stanley.
 I Instantly the young man had be. come interested. This girl was good! Trevor should ask her tc dance at the party tonight. Dick stood watching for several mo. ments in sheer delight. Indeed she could dance! Taller than many dancers. she was nevertheless graceful and winsome. Her hair danced merrily as she tapped. hel body bending. her arms swinging head tilted this way and that. The girl was pretty, too, darned pretty. Black hair, white' creamy skin. blue eyes and red lips. Lip stick? Probably. These chorus girls weren't any different in that respect than the girls of his own set. But if that coloring was arti- flcial Dick decided that 1t was more skillfully applied than most.
 He watched the girl skim over the floor, clicking, pauslng, whirl- ing, obvious to her surroundings, He watched the dance instructor 'rasping out commands, nodding ap-

SUE FORBIDDEN TO SEE JACK

(Which is Mrs Thornton.?" As the nurses cool, metallic tones, a little too hurried now, in- terrupted the conversation which Sue was having with Judge Thorn ton and Joe Dexter, Sue turned swiftly.
 "I am she. May sec Jack?" Sue could tell by the relief in the purse's eyes that she was glad that 1t had been she, not Joe, who had answered in the affirmative.
 Hes asking for you. If you | would come-just for second before he goes under the anesshet-
 "of course!" Sue forgot Judge Thornton, Joe Dexter, the nurse, everyone. Jack needed her and he wanted her. He was asking for her.
 "Just minute, please,' Judge Thornton's words broke the charm. Ho addressed the nurse. Mrs Thornton Is very excitable. I don't believe 1t would be wise for her to see my son at this time. But If l may bo-"
 The nurse's eyes were perplex- ed. She was young nurse who hadn't had many such cases. Sue decided.
 "But he wants his wife, the girl answered
 Sometimes patients aren't cap- able of deciding Just whom they want" the lawyers firm tones an- swered. 1T forbid Sue to sec him. |"
 But you can't, you can't! He's mine!" Sue flung the words at him. She turned to the nurse. (Which way is 1t? I'm going"
 She had not known that her voice was rising. But 0 house phy- sician, coming down the hall, glanced up. Very swiftly Judge Thornton stepped up
 Pardon me, sir, but would you deem 1t advisable for this young lady to see a serious operation?"
 Certainly not" the physician answered. Patients should be kept quiet"
 The man passed on.
 Judge Thornton? Just for the slightest part of u fraction? I've always loved Jack. You know it!" Joe Dexter's voice was dripping with milk and honey. Her smile was saccharine. Her eyes were fiattering and softer than Sue had known they could be.
 The attorney hesitated. Then he nodded. But he was embarras- sed. Sue noted. He realized that he wasn't doing the sporting thing. Surely. she told herself. he could not push her aside and take Joe in to Jack. What would they tell Jack about her, she wondered !? Would they say that she had not come to the hospital? That they had notified her? Or that she was there but did not want to see him :?
 And he was asking for her.! Precious moments were passing while the needless play went on, Somewhere beyond was Jack, hurt, lonesome, wanting her! Another nurse came. "Is Mrs Thornton here?" she asked. "We are coming" Judge Thorn- ton aswered. and placed his hand lightly on Joe's arm. Sue stood shaken with the hurt and the anger of 1t. "I'm Mrs Thornton she told the nurse. T want to seemy hus- band!"
 The woman glanced back. Judge Thornton shook his head slightly. He and Joe followed the nurse. Jack, oh Jack... Sue called not knowing that she did. Nobody heard.

 YOURSELF

Don't let yourself get down in the dumps if a closeup of yourself discloses crows feet about your eyes.
 Those mean little lines should just be stamped out immediately. The worst thing about them is the myth that they mean age. They may mean half dozen other things, including fatigue, worry. bad vision, bad digestion or even laugh lines.
 Usually the only way to halt them is massage, with a very nour- ishing kind of cream or oil. Some of them shouldn't be halted. If your eyes are the kind that crinklc up, in merry manner like old Kris Kringle, when you laugh then know that you probably will have tiny lines at the outside of your eyes very young and you shouldn't mind them. They're part of your gay character!
 Massage Is Remedy
 However, if you feel that the particular kind of crows feet you have aren't in the least compli- mentary, then start in on them.
 Massage one side of your face at time. Hold your left second fin- ger and thumb on your left cheek and temple. respectively, stretch ing the skin in between, while with your fingers of the other hand massage out from the eye, across the little lines. Use plenty of cream. Don't rub too hard. Rather smooth out the wrinkles often, a few strokes at a time.
 When you have done. the left side, hold the right side with your right fingers and massage with your left.
 Keep your skin moistened with good cream. As women get older, their skin tends to become dry. That Is one reason why crows feet and other wrinkles make inroads. Use cream night and morning and use a cream foundation before you put on your rouge and powder.

1T told you she could dance, Bill" This from Timmy, working at the keys, his face beaming.
 Listen, Sheila, just because we're praising you, don't fake that last turn!"
 "Got it?"
 She had it. She skinned, she twirled, she kicked, she slid. She was still smiling but little less spontaneously now. Her muscles had begun to shriek at her, clamor- ing for cessation. She fluttered, continued with the dance without allowing her spectators to become aware of her torment. Bill knew nevertheless. And Bill grinned.

 Guess I won't" agreed Sheila

 That was rare praise from Brady. To tell her another dancer "wasn't much" meant that he approved of her.

 A moment of rest, panting, heart pounding.
 Bill threw himself into action again on the second measures of the routine. Seated near the piano where Blind Timmy's smile cheered her, Sheila watched Bills flying feet.
 Timmy's music followed Bill, too, Timmy's head cooked to catch. the 'tap tap" of Bills agile feet, and catching it so perfectly 1t was diff cult to believe the pianist couldn't see.
 You're getting along fine!' Tmmy murmured to the girl with out turning toward her.

 His face took on 0 shade of wist- fulness and Sheila thought of his lonely life. his struggle, his pa- tience against adversity.
 She leaned forward as she rose and touched his worn shoulder. "When I'm a star you'll be one too, Timmy. Wait and see," shc said.

The baby as usual was on an exploring party. He was very busy because all these lovely things at his aunt's house were entirely new to him.
 At home there were certain things he knew he mustn't touch. The hot radiator had burned him once, so that was out. But repeat ed "No, nos" had taught him, for instance, that the little brass box on the table was only to be in- spected, by babies at least. The funny white things inside made his fingers itch, especially when he saw his father take one out and do queer things with match, and then blow smoke out of his mouth. But he practiced Herculean re- straint.
 Today he went wandering around. The first thing he did was to go out to the dining room, lift a cold clinker out of the grate basket in each hand, and take them proudly back to his mother 'Thee!" he lisped.
 "Yes, I see," smiled his mother "Baby go and put them back"

 The two ladies went on talking and the baby toddled around.
 Aha There was box on a It, tie table full of those nice white things. He couldn't touch the ones at home, but this was another place, another table, another box
 In e second he had the box or the floor and had popped cigare into his mouth.

 His mother got 1t, put the bo: back and said, "No, mo-" again. l It took several ceilings this tim because the urge was stronger.
 But the baby wasn't through He went to the hall, got the tele phone directory and tore out thre' pages before he was discovered.
 This upset his aunt very much His mother apologizcd. Where's that transparent paper mender: I'll soon fix 1t up." And she did so then and there.

As long as they are active, the best kind of clothing for them in win. ter is the light weight, windproof kind she has provided.
