Love And Kisses
What's this? The Centre Court at stately Wimbledon, and two girls netually kissing over the net. It's unheard of. But South Africa's defented Renee Schuurman could not care less as she flouts tradition with a gracious tribute to her conqueror, Beverly Fleitz.

Jobs shouted to the No. 1 Boy "You had better make that two raltens dỉ whisky-water; I think my friend is about to make a spectacular entry and somehow I feel he's going to nerd a drink to cool off."
Wonk's spongy almost got in the door ahead of him. He lostůl his jacket in the corner and dashed' for the end of the bar. "Sorry about the time, John, but got mixed up in a very Important project and I just couldn't tear myself away." "Well, Til fet you off this time it only because you've probablý got out of practice while I've been Away, and anyhow I realise that sometimes the office does command a lot of attention......"

"Oh, family business,” replied his companion with a knowing nod but before he could carry the conversation any túriker he realised that his friend was looking just a bit shesplak about the whole thing.

When the glasses were empty he called for replenishments and while they walted for the boy Mr Wong decided he had better tell Big John exactly what had detained him. "John" I started "if I tell you what made me late will you pro- mise net to laugh at me?" As John nodded his agreement Ir Wong made his big confession "The iruth of the matter is was at home making a soap box!!"
"A soap box?" fuquired Bix John in surprise "Don't tell me you've started exporting tollei requisites as a sideline, or are your family using so much saap that you have to keep it in strong boxes?”
Wong waited until the questions had slapped before starting to
explain. "Na, John," he said "Ila nelkher one or the other but you seE the story has got around that we are going to have a Soap Box Derby and young Tom has set fils_heart on coripeting. He's a good fad but of course he knows nothing at all about machines so I felt I just had to help him," "And you are an expert in such things I suppose?” "Well I don't want to brag about it but I'm quite something when it comes to a spot of streamlining and by the time I've finish- ed, Tommy is going to have the best soap-box in the race."
