King And Queen Congratulate New Champion

Wearlly, and as though she hard- ly knew what was happening, a alim, dark-haired girl dragged her tired body towards the umpire's chair on the Centre Court at Wim- bledon.

For a moment she pulled herself upright, and looked up at the gal- lerics. There sat the King, in his white panama hat, clapping ent- husiastically, and beside him the Queen, her white gloved hands echoing the applause which the thousands round the court were giving in loud-throated roars, with hats and cushions flying.
