HHREE AND A HALF MILLION men and women in the United T States play golf, according to the esteemed Times, We think the estimate enthusiastic. Nevertheless this healthful if somewhat ritualistic game has taken firm hold upon the eountry—to the especial benefit of busy men who regularly forsake their desks for it. “Royal and ancient” it may be, but no nation has honored it by playing it with greater 2eal—not even Scotland, where, in the fif- teenth century, an austere Parliament felt obliged to declate it “stetut and ordainit that in na place of the realme there be usit fute-ball, golfe, or uther sik unprofitable sportis.” Mary Stuart was a golfer.
