Winnetka, in which, If you have taken your club back or up properly, with the wrist tipped back enough, you will be in a wound- up position and able to hit hard with no effort. In order to get all the snap and power possible from your right hand, keep it out of the swing as long as possible. This is best done by bring- ing your hands down in the same po- sition as they were at the top, or, in other words, try to feel that you are hitting the ball with the side of your left hand, or with the heel of the club, and your right hand will come in just about when it should. Of course, you may be able to keep it back too long, but it is much easier to speed it up than hold it back, so that is nothing to worry about. Professor M. V. Shea, professor of education at the University of Wis- consin, will address the Wednesday Evening forum on the subject of "Youth and the New Times," on Wed- nesday evening, January 18, at 8:30 o'clock, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Benedict Goodman, 306 Hazel avenue, Highland Park. cr (Fi Annita Willitts Burnham, 1407 Tower road, is holding a sketching class every Friday at 9:20 o'clock in the morning at the Art institute, under the depart- ment of museum instruction.
