HI CfII-HA T COMPLEX Betty Nuthall, the 17-year-old British star, cannot play lawn tennis if a spectator is wearing a stovepipe hat. A number of her admirers recently were very much disturbed when they found their heroine going down to a comparatively weak opponent. It was noticed that her attention seemed to be detracted from the ball by one of the spectators, himself a prominent man in the lawn tennis world, who was wearing conventional morning dress, complete with top hat. After a time the young player was heard offering a reward of two shillings to anyone who would knock the hat off. “It puts me clear off my game,” she declared. The offending hat was removed and Betty Nuthall won her match. AMERICAN CONSISTENCY Who would think that consistency, real, solid, and honest-to-goodness, would be found in America? Consistency among the rattle of overhead trains, traffic clamour, braying saxophones, and —you’ve guessed it! Consistency in New York. For it was a New York paper which announced the touching story of a lover who made a resolution 30 years ago to make a certain amount of money before he married. All sorts of setbacks stopped him from doing it until this year, but he has married the lady of his choice. Working for 30 years out of pure stubbornness of purpose — and the woman concerned waited all that time! These Americans have originality.
