WIMBLEDON, England, July 2
Q.N.SO-It was tragic indeed that
a misfortune had to mar this
years Wimbledon championship,
when so much was at stake.
Helen Jacobs was playing splen.
did tennis, just as had expected
of her, until something happened
during a long rally in the first set.
Warned by Doctor
She was giving Mrs. Helen Wills
Moody a stirring battle and Mrs.
Moody was giving all she had to
the game. I know something had
gone wrong when I saw Miss
Jacobs reach down and try to ad-
just the bandage on her right leg.
She had hurt that leg during
practice yesterday. Her doctor did
not think she would be fit to play,
but she was determined to carry
on.
The beginning Of the game was
the finest exhibition of the whole
tournament. Despite her injury,
Miss Jacobs had a good chance to
achieve the ambition of her life
time, as far as the eighth game,
when the score stood 4-all. But
then the trouble developed.
Fine SportsrlanshiP
I think the finest proof Of just
what these girls are is afforded
by the conversation that took
place between them right after
the match. Mrs. Moody rushed
right over to Miss Jacobs and told
her how sorry she was that an in
jury had marred her game. Here
is what Miss Jacobs replied:
I'm sorry I couldn't give you
a better game. You simply went
right through me-"
I have just left Miss Jacobs.
Her leg is not swollen and she can
walk, but it is still very painful.
It is a great pity. Otherwise this
would have been a great game.

A BOUT this time of the year
IA we are going back to school
or business, and it is nice to
look back on the summer as the
best and finest we ever had.
There are SO many diversions
that go to make up a successful
summer for the romantic age.
There is nothing so thrilling as
love affair, and trust the young
moderns to have all the beauS
they want. There are other
thrills too: even though romance
is the highlight. we like to feel
we have accomplished something
during these gay times, and what
is there better than learning
how to swim?
The bathing beauties are
lovely to look at, but the clever
young thing who can fearlessly
jump the breakers and keep her
self up and in command of the
waves is sure to be the popular
playmate. You can have more
fun when you are able to handle
yourself in the water than in
any other sport.
AS a matter of fact when we
talk of swimming at this time
of the year it is usually sort Of
q last call for the ones who
have not succeeded in learning,
and to assure them there is still
plenty of time to be up and at
1t before the season closes.
There is still plenty Of time to

tion with degrees of heat and
kinds of soaps used.
F0llOW Instructions
To Letter 49, a.
zone thing all women can
easily learn to do," Miss Hoff
told me, ''is to wash their own
sweaters and skirts. They must
remember that the water must
be no hotter than it can be
endured on the back Of the
wrist. The soap, well-chosen
for its purity and cleansing
qualities, must be whipped into
a fine lather. Do not wiring
woolens dry. Take them in
your hands and gently squeeze
the water.
Remember Soap
In Rinsing Water
After three rinsings use soap
in the final rinSing water,
which will insure a soft, clean
garment. Mark the pattern on
q large piece of manila paper
and then keep the garment with.
in that diagram while it dries.
Keep it flat on the floor or on
any other flat surface, and see
that it dries within it."
Before laying it on the out
line, Miss Hoff says the thing
to do is to wrap it in a dry
Turkish towel in order to alb
sorb as much of the water as
possible.

DOOR butcher man, he is up
l. against a tough problem in
selecting tender steaks accord
ing to Betty's specification. II
he sends her what she really
ordered Betty will get a pretty
tough steak, too. She doesn't
care what grade Of animal 1t
comes from or what the cut is
just so it isn't expensive and
isn't bony and fat but still IS
steak. She has ruled out the
two prime prerequisites for good
steak. Whatever she gets she Is
likely to think that the butcher
swindled her. Since she is no
connoisseur of good steaks she
is likely to ruin whatever she
gets in the cooking process. She
will fry it or broil it at a very
high temperature until the meat
is dry and flavorleSs and the
kitchen filled with smoke. A
whole steak of this variety will
scarcely be a treat to whom
ever it is served.

She orders the portion nearest

she will get a larger portion Of
tenderloin muscle than If it

broil it at relatively low heat at

leave the oven or broiling door
open during the entire cooking
period. She uses an oven ther-
mometer to determine the right
degree Of doneness. When the
steak is served each person re-
ceives a piece from each side Of

portion as well as the good but

TODAY we offer recipes

might be hesitant. The thick
soup Of lettuce, made as di-
rected, is one of the most de-

tasted. It's good because it
has subtle flavors, which may
be achieved only by follow

Thick Soup
OF Fresh Lettuce

Melt one-quarter pound OF
butter in a saucepan and add
two chopped onions, small
pinch of thyme, chervil and
parsley, and two pounds of we'll
washed and dried shredded let
tuce. Now add one quart and
a pint of good beef or chicken
broth (milk can be used in
stead), a spoon of ground rice
or cornstarch mixed with a little
stock. Let simmer for about
an hour, skimming once in q
while. Rub the whole through
a sieve and reheat. Add the
yolks Of two eggs which have
been diluted with a little stock.
Now keep the soup hot until
serving time, but do not boil.

Baker (who arrived this same
noon at the Colony with her

Emerson), looked really lovely
with a pale, pale blue velvet
sailor poised atop her dark
locks.
This small hat had a flat,

fashion in front. She wore a
tobacco brown crepe frock which

Gle of black velvet edged with

Ina Claire put in her appear
ance wearing a rust-toned con-

exceptions to this color chapeau
rule, as in the case Of Mrs. Mar
shall Russell, who perched a
tiny black felt disc far over one
eye. For a touch Of gayety she
teamed a rust boXy SWagger

foxes, which she flung about
her neck.
Mrs. Bertrand Taylor, jr. was
another attractive fashion plate
in this same gathering to choose
tortoise yellow for her headgear;

black illusion. She, too, favored
black for her slim frock, which

Holds Forth,
On Pet Subject

In q voice loud enough so
she couldn't miss it, he began a
TRADE about these women" who
gallavant around town all after
noon and get on street cars dur
ing rush hours and suppose men
would give them their seats.
At last the seat next to him
was vacant and the woman took
1t. From a notebook in her purse
she tore out a leaf and scribbled
for a while. Very cautiously she
slipped the note in the mans
pocket. She had written down
everything she had done that
day-and dared him to match it.
How is anyone to know if
woman has or doesn't have busi-
ness in street car during the
rush hour? Lot of them never
could get out If they didn't go
in the afternoon when the kids
were in school.
The average mother with
school children has a few hours
in the morning and afternoon
when she may leave home. Any
woman knows she can't do a. lot
of shopping around for bargains
in an hour.
I doubt if any modern work
ing man who puts in eight hours
is so worn out from standing
that he just has to have seat.
There are at least five girls to
one man employed in the stores,
and the girls stand all day.
Do They Request
Your Seats?
This article is in answer to
"Sophomore" and the rest Of
the readers who wrote lengthy
TRADES against women who ex-
pect seats in street cars. I'd
like to ask these fellows if they
ever have been asked for a seat
by woman? I guess not!
Dear Mr.. Antheil: I never was
30 angry as I was when read
the letter of Another Mere
Wife Any woman who will
say such things as this gal did

takes such an attitude towards
childbirth should be deprived of
her children and horsewhipped.
