TO MM. THE KINE

K.R.H. THE PRINCE OF WALEY

THE act of choosing a

hat-like matrimony- is something not to be undertaken lightly.

There is no more striking instance of incompatibility than an unbecoming hat. Nor any better matched pair than a well-chosen 'Lincoln Bennett' and its

wearer.

The First Step. They are not "playing for hook"; they are trying to keep the ball straight. But the first step in

this direction is to eliminate all chance of getting off the line on the right. A slice loses distance as well as direction, and, therefore, they cut it out first. But they do not want to be continually getting out

of line on the left, either.

The methost of taking the club back with the face shut makes alieing almost impossible. All you have to guard against is a hook, And If you can keep before you the "mind presentation" of hitting with the heel of the left hand, delaying the climb-over of the right hand till the last possible moment, you cunnot hook. You make sure,

therefore, of not being much off the line either way.

For a time it was level pegging, and neither side could quibble at the decisions of the umpire, who gave them "in" or "out" in prompt style.

Gradually one of the players drew ahead and the other began to lose her temper. Then both lost their tempers. จี
