ISABELLE GOES FORMAL
Continued from poss twelve

Isabelle felt she was moving in
nightmare She must be dreaming. She
couldn't actually be laughing and
talking and playing the gracious host
ess with the ordeal of the dinner
staring her in the face.
The dinner began auspiciously, but
Isabelle was too overwrought to notice.
The soup was served, consumed and
the plates removed without one word
from Mamie. Then behind her, Isabelle
heard the pantry door swing open.
The big moment had arrived. Mamie
was bringing in the fish - magnifi-
Gently whole. nestled in its garland of
parsley, sliced lemon and tomato.
"Well," Isabelle spoke with forced
brightness to Wally who sat at her
right, Il hope you think your wonder

attention" She turned her eyes to the
platter which Mamie had slipped in
between her and Wally.
Somehow she survived the shock of
what she saw: There was no large fish.
head, tail and all. The parsley was
there and the lemon and tomato -
surrounding broiled fish steaks.
''BoyT Wally helped himself to the
largest portion. "I'll say you done
right by the minnow. Mamie!"
Isabelle made noise she meant for
laughter. and gave Mamie quick and
venomous glance. Mamie kept her
gaze on the fish, said to Wally, Il hope
it eats good" and moved on.
The fish. the boys agreed. was the
most delicious food ever to 60 down
human throat. The whole dinner was,
in fact. Isabelle didn't have an
opinion. She was too furious to know
what she was eating. She was too
furious to note that Mamie never once
spoke unless she was spoken to and
that she accepted with pleasant re-
serve the compliments heaped on her
cooking.
At last the dinner was over and
Isabelle led the way back to the living
room. As soon as she had, most
charmingly. seen that everyone was
comfortable she slipped away. She was
going to explode into a million pieces
if she didn't get into the kitchen!
To have to act the child in order to
get what was hers by right and then
not get it, was the final straw. Let
Mamie's feelings be hurt Other people

Mamie quit and went home forever.
Mamie was changing from her good
shoes to her old slippers when Isabelle
swept in. She started to speak and
stopped. mouth agape at the sight of a
trout complete from eyes to tail, beau
tifully brown. lying in the open oven.
Why, this was the mystery of all
time! This was enough to drive a per-
son crazy.
Il told you. baby" Mamie said
sheepishly, II couldn't cook from no
book. You see that trout looking so
pretty on the outside? Just raw inside.

going to happen. That's why asked
Jonas Fields to bring me them BASES.
"You mean," Isabelle faltered,

Several times during the night he

There was no lack of them. Sailors

There was no reply. The mate took
his place at the tiller and with mad

the boat was successfully away.
The Captain shouted from the
bridge: Good luck, Mister!'
Ifthe mate heard it he was too busy

Forty Washington golfers started play

the title. billed as the man to lick.
Billy started in the medal round this

a ranking favorite to win the tourney.

Virginia State champion, and Clark

in the medal round today.
Course Fairly Fast.
The course is fairly fast after a
long spell without rain. and against
the par Of 70 it becomes a tough
scoring proposition. Small green's and
narrow fairways, particularly on the

IN the tourney, it looks as if 78 will
be required to make the top flight,
with a possibility that it may take
shot lower to qualify.
At least five flights will qualify in
the tourney. which means that nearly
every player who turns in a card will
make the grade. A total of 90 players
entered the affair.

aspiring and probably perspiring group
OF Simon-pures play for about 10
places in the big amateur title tourna-

Award Of the sectional tournament
to Congressional, to be handled by the
District Of Columbia Golf Association,
was announced today by Jesse w.
SWeetser. former amateur champion.
who Is member of the Championship
Committee of the United States Golf
Association.
In a letter to Dr. William c. Barr,

ation, Sweetser said: I'VE are very glad
to approve your arrangements for hold

for the amateur championship at the
Congressional Country Club on Au-

More Than $500 Yards.
Stretched out to its maximum length.
Congressional is one of the longest golf
courses in this sector From the back
tees. as it will be played during the
sectional rounds, 1t measures more
than $500 yards, making it truly
test OF championship caliber.
If Congressional's fairways were
watered land they may shortly be
watered) 1t would become at once a
likely course for the championship
itself. But as it will be played in late
August it will be quite a course for
the long-hitting amateurs, and right
here and now we predict q score of
l55 or maybe 1855 will qualify among
the or 10 men who will make the
grade in the sectional rounds.
A score Of level par 144) probably
will lead the field, although Billy Shea
did a 10 to win the medal in the
Middle Atlantic championship held
there last year.
Three Days for Practice.
The course will be open for practice
rounds to local entrants on August
Is. 26 and 20, and also will be open
to out-of-town competitors on Sun
day. August %. Since the champion
ship itself will be held at the Oak
mont Country Club of Pittsburgh,
starting September IL. you can look
for big entry list from Washington.
Pittsburgh Is short jump from
Washington and most of the amateur
stars in this sector will want to play
On the usual ratio of one qualifier to
each four or five entrants, the sec
tional rounds at Congressional may
qualify as high as IL men. The
award is the second such recognition
of 8 Washington course this year by
the United States Golf Association.

ST. LOUIS, June 16.-Ralph Gull

lead, battled par shoulder to shoulder
today through the final SO holes of
the Western open golf tournament.
They were teamed up in the pairings,
thus making certain that the home
stretch Of the thirty-eighth annual
event would be anything but a yawn.

dahl who topped the field with a par
II at the 18-hole mark, meanwhile
slid to 73 in his second round.
Leaders Are Crowded.
Although Mangrum and Guldahl
who is seeking his third consecutive
title, held the center Of the stage, they
were hemmed in by threats, with a
bevy of sharpshooters ready to pick
them of at the slightest sign of a
stagger.
Sam Snead, the West Virginia
slugger. and slick little Paul Runyan
Of White Plains, N. Y, were only one
stroke behind, with Bob Hamilton, a
dark hourse from Evansville, Ind, and
Jimmy Hines of New York only one
stroke behind them.
In fact, with a tough old par giving
the field the horse laugh, and scores
for the most part skidding back and
forth like peas on a platter, even
players who started the last two
rounds six strokes of the pace rated
as contenders until the last putt was
holed.

Snead, Hamilton and Penna all saw
their chances to end the first 36 holes
at the top wrecked on the last holes
yesterday. Snead's bogey on No. II
robbed him of tie. Hamilton came
to No. 10 needing birdie for a tie.
Some one told him where he stood, and
he promptly blew himself to bogey S.
