Tcking, Nov. 6. Visitors ffi Pe
king during the recent gun-fed po
litical overturn expected they would
find the members of the foreign
colonies in the Chinese capital sadly
' ssTres.sea ana rolling their eyes and
Hying little, quick prayers. But
those visitors who tiptoed into Pe
king, feeling as if they were intrud-
i jng upon a stricken family's private
devotionals, were instantly reassured
by the twang of tennis racquets and
he purr of motors and the murmur
of calm conversation and by the
jazzv music of the fox trot
Sitting on the roof garden of Pe
king's leading hotel. - where soft
lights gleamed through the oleander
blossoms and twinkled amid the
foilage of the natural grape arbors,
it was easy to see that what the
European and American population
needed and wanted in Peking was
not sympathy, but some more of the
same in a tall glass. And was it not
too bad the eight-piece stringed in
strument orchestra had plaved only
three encores for-Uhe last waltz?
For this dance th$ lights had been
switched off and the foreign colony
glided dreamily over the floor of
polished concrete with only the sil
very moon to see.
So this is Peking! But not by any
manner of peradventure: i9 this

Learning to Golf
v After my friends had watched me
play .golf for part of a game they
i( began to give me advice.
This advice was given me not
while I'was walking across the fair
way where I might have pondered
, it and profited by it the next time I
j tried to hit the ball. i
Itfwas given on the tee, just as
1 was aDOUt to nit xne oau. Ana u
always began with "don't."
I may be wrong, but I think there
have been several times in my life
when I might have hit the- tjall, and
knocked it perhaps SO yards if
somebody hadn't said don t just as
my club was descending toward it.
Still I was eager for advice, for
I knew that I needed it.' Most be
ginning .golfers need it. but I doubt
jf there was ever one who needed
it as much as I did."
I tried to act on it every time
ft was given me, and even when two
or three people gave me different
kinds of advice at the same time.

Now' and then while on the fair

ladled the .ball off the tee as one

That kept me cheered up and at

ambition to learn to play, for there

; After a time even my best mean
;nsr friends saw that advice was
wasted on me, so they gave me their-
last hit ot it, wiuchvwas to secure
ihe services of a professional.
T did. And what iwas my paine'd
arsonishment to discover that a
professional, instead of being kindly
and soothing, and teaching .one
slowJy to do he right things, was
merely a bigger bag of advance than
any of my friends had been.
In the' first place he would take
the club out of my hands, wrench
my arms into positions that hurt me
bitterly, put it back and command
me to drive. . '
Naturally as soon as he let go of
my hands they tlew back-into easy
positions like rubbar bands. Muscles
are elastic, you know.
Then he would patiently pull them
out again, and finally say something
like this: .
"Don't .do everything wrong.
Don't stand with your feet set " as
if you were going to walk back
wards. ..Don't ho'd tiie club behind
you that way. Don't look where the
ball is going. It isn't going any
where. Don't lift up y6flr head. Don't
keep your right shoulder down;
keep your left shoulder down.
; "Stay where. I put you. Don't
jerk back your arms. - Keep your eye
on the ball no. not that eveX the
other one."
With these thihgs m mind I would

vain,
.When it was half way down I
would think of something else he
had said and start the drive all over
again. '
After every lesson my muscles
ached jike the toothache from the
stretching he had given them, and
from the strain of holding my arms
and back in positions had never as
sumed before and which, in all like
lihood no one else'ever had..
The professional says that after a
year of careful practice, if I follow
his directions, I shall be able to hit
at least one ball out of every six
that I try to hit.
But I know that I ?11 not. Any
way, I am not going to follow his di

London, Nov. 13. Society gossips
in London are busy trying to find
a wife for the Prince of Wales. A
recent issue of the Times devoted
its leading editorial to the subject
of the marriage of the heir to the
throne, suggesting that the time has
come for him to choose a wife and
hop'ing that he choice will be his
own and that it will fall on an En-
glish girl.
In official circles it-is declared that
there is no immediate significance in
this, but it is known the king and
queen also feel it is time the prince,
who is 26, was niarriced and secured
in his succession to the throne. The
favorite among London gossips is
Lady Joan Mulholland, lady-in-waiting
to Princess Marry and sister of
Lord Stafford. She is 30, a wr
widow, andv one of thg prettiest
women at court. The match would
be very popular in England.
Second choice is one of the daugh
ters of the Duke of Devonshire, vice
roy of Canada. Lady Dorothy, the
eldest, is 20. The prince is said to
Lhave paid her attention during his
recent trip in tanaua.
An English marriage would be ex
tremely popular among the English
people, who are tired of foreign
queens There is nothing in British
law, nor is there a house law like
that of the old German royal houses,
prescribing a royal spouse for the
heirito the throne. Before the Ger
man kings' came to England many
of the English kings married com
moners. .
