Forest Hills this week when the tennis
teams of America and England meet in
the annual Wightman Cup matches.
There is no patriotism or interna-

It's just a terrific tea party. The girls
love it, and we love the girls.
The girls give the spectators some
thing to talk about. A tennis throng
at Forest Hills beats every other
crowd in the world for expert and in

can't sit a minute in that historic
horseshoe without learning that poor

We've seen lot of British tennis
dolls in our time, some beautiful, some
tough and some Just British. There
was Kitty McKane, smooth, handsome
and efficient-Mrs. Phoebe Watson,
grim and powerful-Betty Nuthall, the
girl with zing, whom the ball boys
loved to chase for-beautiful Eileen
Bennett, with her trim ankles and the
bonny blue ribbon in her hair

Sterry, the girls with the empire
names-and a dozen others whom the

trade practices.

down every avenue which we can
to enact an effective substitute
