Having become more than somewhat bulky In those spots where it can do the most harm to a golf stroke, I have ceased bothering about the thing myself, but it seems to have perturbed numerous readers. Scarcely a day passes without letters from some of them inquiring where they can learn to become diving girls (or boye, as the case may be) In six easy lessons. Frankly, I have been unable to answer, because after Interviewing numerous lending exponents of form 1 still do not know what the darned thing Is. All that I can make out of the answers Is that It Is doing things gracefully, according to the accepted pattern, looking pretty as a picture. ' Naturally such an answer would be disheartening to the average man or woman. All of ue do not have the bodies of Greek gods or the uperb poise of a Lynn Fontanne.

You can do It wrong but you can succeed. History was proving thnt In other ways long before the modern sports era began. When they were fighting the Civil war It was the mode to Imitate Napoleon. Many generals did well at it, but the man who got the verdict at the finish was U. 8. Grant. He disliked reading about the Emperor, and his campaigns were vastly different from those which Europe bad hailed as being In the very best style. But that did not keep him from .trouncing the Imitators of fashions. It has boon the same In sports. A1 Simmons and that queer hatting style or his have been written of too much to mention now.
