A person 100 anxious for a dime is often ignored entirely, but he frequently walks some little distance to hand a dime to a person who has called out praise for a well played shot. A brief chat about how he did it, a wish for the admirer's good fortune and Mr. Rockefeller returns to his own party and resumes his game. Playing for Twenty Years. Twenty years ago Mr. Rockefeller began playing with Gen. A. Amss of Lowell, Mass., in Augusta, Ga., and they have played together ever since. Gen. Ames is in his eighty- ninth year and he and Mr. Rockefel- ler play about the same game. At 10 o'clock on week day mornings these octogenarians drive off from the first tee. They motor over together and after finishing the daily eight holes, Mr. Rockefeller dons a lizht- welght _top coat, mufler and warm cap. The two 'golf partners then ride together long enough to hotd the usual golf post-mortems and create an appetite for luncheon. Mr. Rockefeller plays golf in a plain suit with regular long trou- sers. He never wears knickers. When the day is particularly warm he wears a light pongee coat and soft hat turned well down in front to Sometimes he wears dark glasses when the sun is \ery bright. On chilly days he wears a winter cap, which has ear muffiers to but- ton under his chin should a strong wind arise. On cold days he wears a paper vest, whtch he considers light in weight and yet of practical service in keeping the cold from his body. At’ Tarrytown, N. Y. and Lake- wood, N. J. where Mr. Rockefeller owns' estates, he has his own golf links, but in Ormond Beach he has a modest home and plays on the Or- mond Beach links, owned by a hotel | & and which usually are very crowded He always plays with members of PIAFNOS RENT Thoroughly Reliable Instruments of a Variety of Well Known Makes DROOP’S Music House 1300 G Street, Stelnwny and Other Leading Planos v Saks & Comp Small lots and broken sizes—no 'm regular price may have been— Big Clean-up Sale of Women’s Shoes About 2,000 pairs High and Low Styles— They are the accumulation of broken lots— so there won't be every size in any one style.
