It was for the British open championship and was played at Troon in Scot- land. She beat me four and three, | on the third round. “It was simply thrilling watching her play, and secing the crowds | There was a tremendous gallery and great enthusinsm. The crowd was very nice to me, and oh, how I wanted to win, and how frightened T was when I started! I told you that I get very nervous before my first drive.

J., Virginia Wilson of Chicago, Wattles of Buffalo, and Virginia Kenworth and Victoria Carpenter, of Providence. In reply to other ques- tions she named Miss Joyce Wether- ed at the most graceful player she knew, and Miss Cecil Leitch as the most powerful. “How would you advise the aver- ge woman to practice to improve r game?” she was asked. I would say, first, take lessons |from a good professional; second, practice hard over the strokes in which you are weakest; third, be very careful in the choice of clubs, and fourth, take great pains with you short game. s “The short game is in my opinion far the most important thing for a |\woman.

Similes are born earily in describ- her. One calls her “the iron woman’’; another, “the stone wom- an.” Is it stoicism, or implanted pride, or a nature barren of emotion? She iz not one to solicit sympathy, and so not a great deal is likely to come her way. Mrs. Hall's frigidity it was, ap- parently, that sent her husband, the Edward Wheeler Hall, in arch of those warmer and more passionate natures that grow closer to the ground.
