 TENNIS SETS CUT

PARIS, Sept. z-French inven- tive genius is hard at work trying to whittleedown the length Of ten- his matches.
 Armand Massard, who pays more attention to the rules than to the game itself. and who has distin- guished himself by laying down several new laws for fencing, ls trying to persuade the French Lawn Tennis Federation to adopt twenty-one-game sets as the limit in tennis.
 "Twenty-one games are long enough" Massard says, "and the winner of the twenty first ought to be declared the winner of the set"
 But his idea hasn't met with much success so far, although there are indications that the Federation may consider adopting the scheme for junior play.

Judge Michael M. Doyle, member Of
the inquiring committee, announced
he would request that M. c. Har-

all contracts involving the penal in

this exhibition one can almost re-
construct the life lived in South Caro-
lima during the early days of our
republic
1t is interesting to note that Fraser
had not one but several styles Of
painting, all of which seem to have
been his own. In some instances he
used very delicate wash, in others
strong color and occasionally he stip-
pied and employed line-in combina-
ton. Apparently he adapted his
style to his subject. Certainly he was
a most excellent draftsman-a most
competent technician-with a full
understanding of the requirements
of the miniature portrait. His minia-
lures were larger than the average
miniature of the day and were not
placed in lockets but were framed in
black enamel with a lining of gold
a more satisfactory style for these
larger, colorful, decorative works.
With Malbone he shares the dis
tinction of foremost achievement as
a painter of miniature, on par with
the great English miniature painters
of the eighteenth century. Malbone's
career unfortunately ended when he
was only 20 years Of age; Fraser's be-
gan when he was SO and continued
without interruption until he was
nearly 78. There are few painters
in the history Of American art who
deserve greater honor or who are
more truly the product of this country.
To have assembled so comprehen-
sive an exhibition of Fraser's works
as this-works which are still in
almost every instance in perfect con-
dition-is an achievement In itself,
the credit for which must go to

declared, despite protests from Albert
A. Grorud, special assistant to the
Senate Indian Affairs Committee, and
former Representative John M. Baer
who is now employed as cartoonist
by a labor paper. Both Grorud and
Baer asserted, according to Seal, that
the arrest would be embarrassing" tc

me there was no reason why Gardner's

both Hawkes. and Mrs. Moore pro-
duced their checks, however, he said
he must have forgotten. Hawkes.
chack was for 500 and Mrs. Moore's
for $25 less. Both were issued in
1882"
On at least one occasion, Sea-
charged, Gardner used an oftlciaI
Senate memorandum slip to write a
message to a client. This, he said
was a brief note to Hawkes..
Until the checks were produced
Seal declared, Gardner insisted he hac
loaned Hawkes. 500 instead of taking
that amount from him.

your waist is almost the size OF
your hips, it's hard to get a

And even those garments
that you pull right on are not
time-Savers. You must pull and
tug for many minutes until
you get the hang of it, or until
you get your garment loosened
up a bit, then it's not as good.
