It is said that among the great numbers of women who play, few ever score under a hundred. A brassoy is a woman's best club, she knows it, and therefore uses it too constantly. It is a golf pro verb that women approach and putt well, that is twenty yards off, but the author of "Drives and Putts" insists that when it comes to the real approach varying from thirty-five to seventy-five yards, women as yet know nothing. This means weakness on the long irons and "every woman who wishes to round out her game and lower her scoro per manently should concentrate her at tention on first her second shot and secondly on her cleek and mid-iron." The man who laid out the grounds in Lincoln for golf purposes, said that he never saw better links. In tirao the Lincoln links will only be equalled by the matchlessness of its players. Mrs. Arthur Ray Edmiston and Mrs. Emory C. Hardy gave a "shower"' on Saturday morning. The invitations were so worded that the imagination of the invited ones was on the qui vivo from the time of receiving the invita tion until the time of the function was at band.
