for instance, the qualities asked for now are much better than in former years, in spite of the enormous. ad- vance in price.
As an example of the change. which hay come over the country and the greater adoption of foreign |enstoms, attention is drawn to the
One is constantly being asked by beginners of lawn tennis questions concerning the proper grip of the racquet; the size of handle to use the weight and balance of the racquet, and the correct way to make a forefact that the imports of wines and hand and backhand stroke.
Opinions vary so considerably that in answering these questions it mort not belaid down asa Lard-and-fa't rule that all the answers are to be taken as right for everyone, because what suite one player is far from Baiting another.
The first fundamental principle says Mr. 8. N. Doust, after years of tennis in all parts of the world. is that the best players are natural players.
There is no set rule for the grip.. For example, Norman Brunkes. Beale Wright, W. M Johnston W. T. Tilden, Z. Sbimidzu, A.. Gobert, J. C. Parke are all Champions, vet none has exactly the same grip. Who is to say that Tilden'a grip is better to copy. than Gobert's! It is nearly certain that whatever grip these players use is the one that came, naturally to them, and the answer in regard to the proper grip is, use the one that comes naturally.
spirits were of the value of nearly 4,000,000 yen in 1920 compared with 800,000 yen before the war. Only a very small proportion of this is accounted for by the foreign residents. Fartherniore, foreign style provisions were purchased in 1920 to the value of nearly 14,000,000 yen as compared. with 3,000,000 yen in 1913. former years one case of paté de fole gras would last a provision desler quite a long time, as it was only used by foreign residents and the foreign hotels. Now large quantities are imported for the requirements of wealthy Japanese. One explanation of this phenomenon which has been put forward is that entertaining in Japanese tea-houses has recently become so extravagantly expensive that even Western luxuries have become an economy. Perhaps this may be considered an extreme ex- ample, but it gives a good idea of the change which has come over the country. Similarly before the war the import of precious stones wAS negligible.. Last year it amounted to nearly 6:500,000 yen.
The size of handle is also a personal matter. There have been times when a very thin handle was considered the proper thing to use, and a handle so thick was once used that it was nicknamed the "axe handle." These thin or thick handles were used by the un'hinking players because it was considered a sort of fashionable thingforeign style goods. Now it may to do so. As everybody has a different sort of hand, either in shape
or size, it is obvious that a very thick handle will not feel comfortable to a person with a small hand, and that a thin handle in
a large hand.
will require, too much effort to Told firmly for comfort. Therefore the beginner should select

箍
racquet with & handle that more or less fits the size of his hand, so that when he roakes his ahots he is able to do so without feeling he is actually holding a racquet.
FOREHAND AND BACKHAND. The correct way to make a forehand and backband shot is governed by the way the racquet is gripped. Here, again, players vary. Some play the forehand and backhand with the same face of the racquet This is mostly done in Australa, and the grip that enables one to do so is known as. the "Australian grip," but all Australiane do not use it. Nearly everywhere, both faces of the racquet are used, one for the foreliand and the other for the backhand, In both the Australian and the general way it is necessary to alter the grip alightly when changing from one stroke to another. The English method is more stylish and, in somne, players, equally effective, but the back hand by Australian players, generally is stronger than their fore- band.
Exceptions there are, of course, and two very prominent players-Brookes and Patterson-use entirely different grips.
Beginners should therefor decide
for what is their natural grip and, having selected a racquot that feels comfor table in the hand, should go to a professional to have their strokes developed. It is a mistake for. professionals to attempt to alter their pupils grip provided it is not one that is entirely wrong, such as holding the racquet half-way down the handle. Start, then, with a racquet that suita -you and grip it naturally,

almost be said that nothing is too expensive for the wealthy classes of Japanese, and even among the lower classes there is a strong demand for the real imported goods, notwith- standing imitations which abound. British makers were handicapped during the war by various embargoes and restrictions and, since the Armis- tice, difficulties with regard to 'deliveries and prices caused by strikes, and the constant increases în wages allowed American to gain a footing in many fields in which we previon ly held almost a monopoly, but British articles have still so good a reputation that provided deliveries can be guaranteed and judicious ad- vertising methods are employed there should be fine market for British

As regards exports, it is stated that in most markets there are large stacka of Japanese goods, and buyers abroad hesitate to place any fresh orders until these have been cleared. But in Japan itself domestic business con- tinues so good that manufacturers, have not yet had forced on them the absolute necessity of cutting down their prices. As far as retail prices are concerned, there has been only a very slight reduction, and in the bigot, department stores in Tokyo and Osaka business continues as active as ever at absurdly high figures."
