When she strode up to play her sec ond stroke, I knew her for one of the best women players on tbe course. She looked like a picture out of a fash ion magazine; snappy black belted coat, knickerbockers, soft white shirt, a roll brimmed black sailor shading her eyes and gray knitted hose formed her attire.
