AN AT HOME” Following the game Mr. and Mrs. W. T. Stanton were "At Home" in the pavilion, when' they entertained a number of friends.
NICE WORK
A good example of sound horsemanship,
Gymkhana well polsed taking a fence.
The story is told in the October issue of "Women's Hockey," a bright, monthly magazine edited by Miss Marjorie Pollard.
The senior partner's secretary tells how she asked three of the players to see bar in her office and the interviews contain a moral for office workers who play any strenuous games in their leisure time.
"FLOPPED" IN A CHAIR The secretary wrlies:
"I explained my concern and. I think! made myself clear. I said, 'Now you work until 12 o'clock. You dash out to Morden (shall we say?); you play hockey hard, and you "fop" in a chair on Saturday evening?",
**Y-e-e-s-doubtfully,
"Now, what do you eat before the game?'
"I have coffee (alleged) and a bun before I go to the station'
"No. 2 was very sophisticated-- very cheerful and Very pretty cosmetics, hair and nails must cost her a bit; but it's her money and she car do what she likes with it). Questions were repeated.
"Well,' said she, smiling. 'Some- times I have a digarette-a Gin-: and-It-or a glass of sherry and some biscuits. Well, no, I don't flop on Saturday nights I have a "bracer," and generally go on to
dance."

"I was out of my depth, and I. hoped the child would live and flourish on such a diet. She was honest, anyway, and I liked her for it,
"The third was a centre-hair and a good player. She brought sand- wiches from home and got a cup of coffee at the station.
"So I was right. The reason for falling off in the second half was food, or lack of sustaining food.
"We talked the matter over one might after the office closed. Even my lady 'bracer' stayed, changing into a gown meanwhile, and we decided that--
"A. We would eat more on Sa- turday lunch-time;
"B. That we would give up that coffee-and-bun hábit (which I found was most popular)."
So now the secretary, organises the office lunch, which is at pre- sent in the nature of an experi- ment, The sandwiches are made with meat extract, ham or tongue, with plenty of butter and brown bread.
Will this give the extra stamina required in the last ten minutes of the game?
