day before breakfast ne shoots
nine holes, so Harry has to be
on hand. That means a six
o'clock train.
Mr.. Calvin puffs, wheezes and dubs
but keeps miraculously on the fair
way. He's taciturn, and efficient in
his methods if not his golf. He has
never broken 100. Harry Wickens has
done IA and consistently hoyers
about &c.
Harry eats his breakfast in the
servants hall and helps the gardener
with chores until Mrs. Theodore Gal
vim tees off. For her Harry has to
carry bag with enough equipment
to go around National Open field.
Jones used this putter in the Brit
ish Amateur three years ago." she in

hole. "He presented me with it at
Inverness"
Harry has been with the family a
year, but Mrs. Calvin still doesn't
know his name. She calls him boy

doesn't shoot out of sand traps. You
have to bring out the ball. Also she
skips the fifth and seventh holes be-
cause of the woods. At that, she
can't crack 100.
Neither, for that matter, can Miss
Evelyn Calvin, who comes on after
lunch as a rule. But she doesn't keep
score. When there are men in her
foursome she frolics, tries hand
springs and trick Shots She ap-
proves highly Of Harry, whose repu-
tation as a retriever she helped to
make proverbial.
She's all for Harry. Once when
Mr.. Kenneth's ball landed in Sara
zen Pond" she bet flve-spot he
could find it. Harry stripped to the
waist and dove in but he couldn't
locate the ball, so under water he
fished one out of his pocket and came
up with it. At the lockers Miss Eve

Calvin found out and forbade fur

Harry has four younger brothers
still in elementary school, a father
and mother. The old man, who is
older than he should be for five
youngsters like that, hasn't worked
for year and half He used to
help out in vegetable store that
went under.
Harry's salary disqualifies the fam
lily from relief. Together with about
three hundred other families in the
area which is to be RACED for the
Fred F. French company's Knicker-
booker Village development, they
were served with a dispossess notice
last spring, but the eviction didn't go
through because of the organized
protest.
1t is tragic for Harry to return to
this verminous apartment after a
day at the Galvins'. He thought OF
running away, but you can't pull out
just like that. AS it is, some of the
boys got into trouble for stealing
pears off push cart. Mrs. Wickens
has been frantic for months, and the
Settlement people may send her up
for an examination. Harry himself
doesn't think there is anything wrong
with his mother. All she needs is
three squares day, he says.
They only have two beds and a
cot in the place. Harry sleeps on a
