Avenues of Fashion For the Gentleman HOSE I sports have long since dis- "~ _covered that, while attire * for their particular or fa- vored pastime may not necessarily improve their game, it neverthe- less adds much to their peace of mind a5 well as to their comfort. The very fact that their clothes are correct permits them to concen- trate on the game. In connection with this active sports attitude to- ‘ward dressing, some new and very fashionable items of apparel loom on the horizon for the golfer, the o tennis player and fer the partici- pant in that most recently popu- who enjoy acti farized sport, badminton. In con- nection with the latter, it may be interesting to note that this is an Old World game which has just recently, in this country, become appreciated. Requiring less than half the space of the tennis court, this active and fashionable game may be played on almost any sub- urban lawn. As for the required attire, the details follow closely that which would be chosen fo tennis. * ok X ¥ ARTICULARLY suitable for badminton are the sherts which “Bunny” Austin, famous British court star, has popularized for ten- nis and which he has appeared in many times at both Wimbledon and Forest Hills. b * ¥ k % BREAKJ,’\‘G with tradition, Bill Tilden is wearing a new tennis shoe of blue canvas (rather than the usual white one), and very smart it is, tee, with a practical side that cannot be forgettén. * ok k% TILDE\' is also responsible for the introduuction in this coun- trv of the heavy -cablestitched sweater with deep V neck, ber- dered with club celors.

This may be had in_various selid colors and combinations of white. * k% ¥ THQSE ‘who work and play under +** thé tropical sun have long since found the sun helmet not only es- | turing long sleeves, a gathered yoke back and a rather long point- ed collar with tab piece "opening and four buttons and loops. * AN FOR those rough fairway spots that most of us get into, one often finds the usual length golf handle interfered wtih by branches or rocks, and for this purpose a short iron has been coriceived that is acceptable to tournament com- mittees. xik %% | THE buckskin shoe in all correct models is a sound and authen- | tic fashion. it as a golf shoe and for this game the smartest model carries what is knewn as the monk front.

Ps;:Eolo_gy BY DR. JESSE W. SPROWLS. Temperaments Inborn? { MOST persons have the idea that temperaments are inborn, that whatever they are, they are as cen- stant as eye colors. But there are very few unchangeable laws of hu- man nature, outside of one’s basic physical traits. . Those who have spent a lot of time investigating the problem of temperaments have come to a few really valuable conclusions. The main one is this: Temperament is tied up wtih experience, and so it follows that the kind 6f neighbor- hood you grow up in has a 16t to do with what you are. And here’s another conclusion: You may, with ing ease, rise above your neighborhood and cre- ate a pnilesophy . of your own, which takes you beyond those as- pects of your environment which you weéuld like to escape. And still another conclusion: Yéu may best find out how to im- ve your temperament by care- my studying what you take to be the prevyiling “mrflm!m of others.

OUTH of the entrance of San Francisco Bay there is a well.known rock where the sea lions of Califorria love to gather. These strange creatures of the sea form a gap between the typical animals of the land and those that are strictly aquatic, like the whal They are known 28 o they have flippers instead of feet, and these are mora like fins than feet, For a long time these harmless fellows were under a cloud of sus- icion. Some declared the sea lion fiumed salmon and other fish his human brother feit belonged to him. Time and earnest investiga- tion have disproved this erroneous belief, and we find squids and devil fish (octopus), both wicked fellows and greedy fish eaters, are the choice food fish of the harmless sea lion. Here you behold one of the fel- Jows, sitting upon nis favorite plat- form, “telling the world.” Nearby his cronies are listening in. Pos- sibly he is inviting them to join him in a fine game of ‘“roll and dip” in the wash of the waves. It may be a challenge, if it is the time to.call his wives together and | establish his harem and add to it.| Then the monarch is defying his | friends to come close at their The patriarch is scarred from many battles. His queer little eyes are expressionless and his butk seems unwieldy. He really is a timid soul toward all others ex- cept his brethren, and will let you | approach quite closely before he | begins his clumsy retreat. | Though much of their time is spent in the water, they know the value of the healing rays of the sun. Climbing up the jagged rocks, they lie in the most uncomfortable | looking positions, so close together that when one of them wishes to move he raises his head and bel- lows. Only during the time the bahies need special protection will | you see the family together. One baby is born a vear. The| nursery is only a hard stone floor. The mother nurses her infant, and | when she goes for food Father sees 1o it his children do not fall over | the ledge. Many 'too sprightly | youngsters are lost in this fashion | and a devoted parent tries to keep | them from an untimely death. In the water the sea lion is a| graceful, swift swimmer and can/ get out of your way in recordi time. On land or his favorite rocks | he moves forward, hobby-horse fashien, by rocking his body. The‘ rear end has to be humped for- ward, and he reminds you of a measuring woru;, Going down his ste) e mikes poorer mun!mp-)'ne has reason io be- lieve that time is the essence of success and doubles his efforts.

BY RUBY HASKINS ELLIS, 'HE original speliing of this sur- | name was “Pek” from the old English word meaning peak. “The pék of the hul,” was a *popular expression in Derbyshire for cen- turies. The family of Peck or Pek was first knewn in Yorkshire, in the towns of Hesden and Wakéfield. The Peks afterward movéd to County Suffolk, in the vicinity of Beecles. The first authentic rec- ord of the name mentions John del Pek.in London, 1273. Joseph Peck, 21 rations re- moved from John dél Pek, was the first representative of this family in America. He was baptized in 1587, and records state: that he came to America from Beecles, in County Suffolk, in 1638. He settled first in Hingham, Mass, but later removed to Rehoboth. His brother Robert, a2 minister, came over from Hingham County, Norfolk, at the same time and settled in Hingham, Mass. .

How- ever, it would be queer if I tried it. Just as queer as for you to try to dig in with your hind feet.” “But what are you digging in for, anyway?” asked I'eter, “I just have a feeling that it is the wise thing to do, and when I have such a feeling I always heed it,” replied Old' Mr. Toad. “Ever said Peter Rabhit. ked you,” replied since I th t T saw Mr. Black- snake I ha d a feeling that the wise thing for me to do is to get out of sight.” “But it wasn't Mr. Blacksnake saw,” said Peter. ness it wasn't,” re- torted Old Mr. Toad. “Just the same I have a feeling that he's about somewhere.

Yes, sir, must think me very stupid.” e “Why do you say that?” asked Peter. “Because you seem to think that Tl leave a hole for Mr. Blacksnake to_see,” replied Old Mr. Toad. “There won't be any hole.” This made Peter blink. “How can there help being a hole?” he demanded. “Watch and you'll find out,” re- plied Old Mr. Toad. Peter watched. 0Old Mr. Toad sank down farther and farther into the ground. The soil was loose there and the digging was easy. Down, down, down went Old Mr. Toad. Presently the earth around the edge of the hole n to fall in. Iaafew minutes Mr. Toad was quite out of You see, the sand had fallen in and covered him completely. Peter stared down ‘where Old Mr. Toad was. Old Mr. Toad was still digging. Peter knew this because he could see the sand moving. Some was being pushed up from underneath. “Well, I never!” exclaimed Peter under his breath. “I don’t see how he stands that. He must have to keep his eyes shut. I don't see how he breathes.
