Not one player in a thousand, in serving, uees to the best advantage this physical capacity; in this respect, therefore, practically all can speed up their deliveries. First of all, stance is of primary moment. Stand almost sideways to the net, fect planted wide apart. This is the latest service ball scuret from the United States-the land of burricane servicers.
The feet should bean placed that the leg muscles inside the kness are slightly stretched, and for n man standing oft. Sia. this means about 30in. apart. This wile stance forces the server to throw his weight when hitting no to the front foot. No hurricane speed is attainable without the transference. Secondly, a high, traight throw mast he perfected. That sounds easy and ia jolly hard. How high? Eighteen inches above your topmost each with a rocket when on

Finally, the swing of the racket must be faultless. Starting with the head of the racket near the left kace, the heari passes the right log, comes up behind the body to a point above the right shoulder. It is then, with continuous non-stop swing dropped perpendicular behind the head before being brought up and on to the ball.
The swing commences elowly and attains maximam spaol at the moment of impact. When the ball is thrown up the whole body weight should be on the front foot-the trank from waist upwards leaning well over the line into court. This

He discussed the dancing with great interest. "It's the first time I bave das ced since I came back," he said.
The Prince danced for rome time, and, staying at the ball for about an hour after the departure of the Queen, left about 2.30 am.
Among his partners were Mise Edwins Aakley-the fiancée of his friend, Lord Louis Mountbatten-and the Duchess of Sutherland.

During the fight, in answer, to a friend's inquiry as to how he was the Prince replied, "Bearing up."
As a picture by George du Maurier, Lady Diane Cooper was one of the most striking personalities in the procession arranged to illustrate art in the years from 1870 to 1890.
One interesting feature of the ball was that the old-time programme was restored, giving a space after each dance for the name of the partner.

A similar test by the British research department gave the same result. A propeller has been sent to the United States to be tested on a still more powerful machine. In one test a piece of metal struck the re volving blade. Instead of shivering to pieces, the blade was dented only

Undoubtedly there was trath in the contention. The English breakfast has long been in decline and the war, with its high prices, bas hastened its. fall. Yot who was there, even la 1914, except possibly Mr. Belloc, that could have faced a flagon of ale for breakfast? Lord Rosebery is popular ly supposed to have been the last undergraduate at Oxford to drink clarat at that meal.
What would that hearty soul, Mr. John Jorrocks, have had to say about it? You remember the breakfast he gave Pomponius Ego before he took him out with his hounds. "Kidz eye, chops, eggs muffins, toaste, red her rings, and all the delicacies of the season, in short, that make one's mouth water to write, vanished in succession, aided by large draughts of undeniable tea and coffee from 'the Lane, as Mr. Jorrocks called his place. of business.”
