“JUST A LUXURY.”

CHAMPION’S WORLD TOUR Dorothy Round Returns. 3 t I Special.—By A-iy Mail. London, March 20. (’Dorothy Round, Britain’!- woman i lawn tennis champion, has been to I Australia. Japan, the West Indies. '■ ■ Malaya, and everybody has made the ' greatest fuss of her. She has -come j back to the little, dirty, Midian own of Dudley, where she was born -- and taught Sunday school, to find a I- husband and to make a home of her own. Dr Little, her fiance, is a Glasgow man. He came to Dudley only 18 months ago. 11 "I shall make my home here,” Miss I Round said when her engagement II was announced this 'Week. “There is l_ nowhere else 1 would rather be. I I like London for tome things, but it - 1 has a lot of drawbacks. Here I have II plenty of friends. I shall be able to '• play golf and bridge and tennis with n them besides running my home. t “I thoroughly enjoy my work as a : ; ports clothes designer and I shall keep that up. Whether I shall keep <1 on playing championship tennis I do y ; not know-. I shall play this season. ■ | I am getting married in September 1 i so that the reason v.'ill be over and I shall not have to be away from my ■ husband. But after September I am i, making no plans. At present I feel ’• i hat 1 could open a paper and read . about Wimbledon and say: ‘How interesting’ and turn to the next page. Whether I shall feel like that when the season starts I don’t know. “IJ I am in good form this season and they want me to go to America ’or the Wightman Cup I will. 1 have bad a delightful ftme playing in championship tennis, and I have loved 1 travelling round the world, especially my visit to Australia. It’s- lovely to 1 he fussed- over, but not to get used to it unless you’re going to live the 0 sort Of life where you can always 3 have it. I never got used to it. It ■’ always gave me a thrill and still does. It is not real life. It’s just a luxury, 1 but I have loved having it." B
