What does a tennis star think about? When she is pretty and twenty and comparatively new at tournament tennis, as young Kathleen Stammers of England is, she has a variety of things on her mind. There's her back hand stroke, for one thing, that she is trying hard to improve. Then there is Coney Island that she is more anxious to see than any other spot in America. And there is dancing which she adores and has to give up during a tournament. And doubtless some thought she gives, too, to her personal appearance.
