During the war other thousands, among them many Americans, ocomn- valesced there, to remain forever in thrall to the magic of its wintertime. And the colors of the women's cos- tumes! A cerise hued sweater, a cerise cap, a green skirt and a bright yellow searf, not to forget cerise col- ored sport hose.

This decision conforms with the [rule now in force in the United States, where the title-holder has had to play through for two or three years. Furthermore, William . Tilden, | who won the All-England champion- | ship here last June and carried it to | the United States for the second year {letter that he will have the option of | playing through: or standing out at the tournament next year if he comes back to defemd his title. | As Tilden has gone on record in ex- | pressing the opinion that title-hold- ors should play through, as a fairer | method of competition, .it is quite i possible that he will not stand out [next season. / | | Picton Yacht Club Officers.
