ago, when she was playing at Wim- bledon, she was offered big money hy a large Continental perfumery house if she would lend her name to advertising their preparations, This she resolutely refused to do. holding that this was an indirect means of capitalising her tennis.

The same cannot be sald of one of the world's greatest tennis stars. He was approached by a firm of cigarette manufacturers, who were placing a new brand on the market, and asked if he would write them a testimonial, stating that he always smoked one of their new brand of cigarettes after a strenuous set.. One hundred guineas was offered as an honor- arium,

He agreed, and a cheque for the amount, was posted to him.

Then the stor discovered that he did not smoke at all, and wrote to the company, pointing out this fact, and suggesting, as an alter- native, that he should say in his testimonial that, as he was a non- smoker himself, he always advis- ed his friends to smoke "Als” cigarettes.

The company immediately stop- ped payment on the cheque, and informed the champion that he had broken his contract, and that he must say he smoked their! cigarettes or he would not get the money. The champion then dis covered that he was really quite a heavy smoker!
