A CELEBRATED BEAUTY
Head Pains, Gout, Lassitude
Readers see for themselves that those ti position to pich ́and-choose whether they are Koyal Personages, popular celebrities, experienced doctors, nurses, atliletes, &c.--without exception unhesitatingly select Phosterite as the one certain remedy for all nervous disorders. All these distinguished people positively attribute their increased energy, efficiency, or prowess, to the revitalising potency of Phosferine, and their opinion is again confirmed by the celebrated beauty, Mrs. Una de Louth, who finds the wonderful tonic imparts such a delightful feeling of youthful vigour, that she can retain her good looks without the least trouble. Mrs. Una de Louth is deeply grateful for the inestimable service Phosferine rendered her in completely curing gouty head pains, and so effectually dispelling the nervous depression and lassitude which endangered her exceptional beauty, that she bas kindly permitted us to publish her happy experience of Phosferine for the benefit of other readers.
Quite driven away.
Mrs. Una de Louth (the beautiful and talented Society, reciter, and daughter of a late well known Member of Parliament), writes:- bave great pleasure in stating that your Phosferine has done store for me than all the doctors, for long standing and severe gouty pains in my head. Indeed, I have had instantaneous relief after taking only a few drops of your wonderful world-famed remedy and I would never be without it in the house again on any consideration-I treasure it among my household gods.
I always find Phosferine helps mo and invigorates my system to a wonderful extent, and before acting or reciting bave never known it to fail. It is in my opinion a tonic that has marvellous and lasting effect, and all who have tried it agree with me that I do not over-rate it in the least."--8, Lansdowne Square, Hove, Sussex.-November, 2, 1908.

THE BEGINNING OF GOLF.
SOME HINTS FOR EAGER ASPIRANT
· [BY 0, Ai L.. FATNEJ Booner or later there comes a time in the life of the ordinary Englishman, whether it be in the incipient stages of manhood, the lost freshness of middleage, or the pathetic cogniesuce of approaching decrepitude, when golf claims Its meed of studious attention.

Golf in sometimes called an "old man's game. So it is in the sense that oldish men arg able to potior round a links playing at golf, enjoying themselves, no doubt" almost as much as the roost youthful enthusiast, but it were folly to imagine that thee skill could over hope to match that of the young man in possibilities. Golf in ninety-nine cases out of a hundred mast bo storted early in life if one's handloop is to get below or even down to the scratch mark. This Being the case, the question of starting naturally arises. The methods must, of course, be adapted to one's private means,
The man whose purse is well lined is at a great advantage in that he is enabled to obtain the best professional coaching, such as that given by the Chelson School on the Embank inent, already referred to in the "Express an ideal beginning. However, as this is beyond the reach of the great majority, and it is to these that I would venture to make a few suggestions, first-clash conchilig may be left out of con

THE CLUB.
Now, the average man ahent to take up the game has not the least conception of what he wants in the nature of clubs, or whether a parti- cular elab ke may handle is likely to suit bim or not. He judges a golf-club by its resemblance in balance or "feel" to a cricket bat, tennis racket. hockey-stick, or anything else with which he may be acquainted in former recreations. Thus he in very liable to purchase clube which may prove a real hindrance to him in the improve ment of lile game.

BACK FROM THE LAND.
As the bell changed und the train lumbered into the little country station, the tweed-clad youth, standing with woebegone countenance by a pile of faggage, beckoned to the solitary porter and Battled into the corner of atirst-class smoking CAITžage.

The result of this prodigious effort is appallingly negative, and in course of time our friend will sober lown and realise that physical power plays quite an insignificant part in the realisation of his dream.
Then, perhaps, he will begin to wonder how weaker brethren get such a long way down the course and with such little apparent effort.

The corner of a red-white-and-bite muffler protruded from one of his overcoat pockets, and. you been versed in these matters, you would have known him for a nuval officer returning to his ship after a fortnight's enjoyment of the "blessings of the land." nd you might have further observed that the glamour of home-an Elysium where one lay in bed until a scandalens hour in the morning. a life of limitless shooting. dances, sad unsccustomed feminine society. still possessed his soul,

A great deal may, of comse, be learned by on intelligent study of the methods of the best players.
It may be urged with justice by numérons aspirants that they have no time for watching great players, and that their spare leisure is confined to the brief limits of a flaturday afternoon game, or, perhaps, ix Bunday's recres tion. How, then, my improvement be effected failing such opportunities as the above?
Granted that the beginner has got a set of clubs, and that he is acquainted with the first and greatest maxim of all, Keep your eye on the ball," a good deal may be done by purchasing a book on the game and practising in front of a looking-gines. The illustrations will afford an exellent model, and give a good idea as to the correct positions to ensure satisfactory results. It is as well to master theory of stroke if the protice is not forthcoming and although it is true that theory alone will not take one far, yet subsequent practice should be made easier and the causes of failure mpre intelligible.
THE GRIP,
The question of the grip is, of course, the first to be considered. It is necessary, as I have said, that the handle of the club should be held in the fingers rather than the palms of the hands, The control of the club-head is rendered much more easy, and this is essential to accurate timing, It would seem, to judge by nearly every eminent professional of the present day, that, of all grips, the overlapping" in the most effective— that is 'to say, with the little finger of the right the left hand resting on the first finger of the left. thumb being down the shaft. The first finger of the right hand; aided by theothers in diminishing extent, forms the rain grip of that hand. The main idon is to get the hands as close together as possible, thus making the wrists work together in the most uniforms and even manner. If anything, the dish should be held a little more tightly in the left hand than in the right when the ordinary
double grip is used. On the adoption of the overlapping variety no such precaution need be need for only three of the fingers of the right hand hold the club as against four of the left.
Hullo! Good leave?" "Rather! Top-hole.".

Two heavily laden cabs passed the frowning gates of the dockyard, clattered over the un- eren cobbles, and pulled up at the landing steps, where a picket-boat was lying, her lights gleam ing on the wet oilskins of the crew. A this drizzle was falling, and from the ships an chored in the streani, massive looming shapes in the darkness, came the thin notes of the. officers' dressing bugle.
