Mrs. R. H. Barlow, the golf champion, said at a recent hmeheen at the Bellevue-Stratford In Philadelphia: “Golt has its humors, and this struck me particularly in a conversation at a golf club that 1 once had with a Persian prince. “The prince, as he sat on the club piazza watching '-the various chantplena drive off, drawled: "T wobject is to be gained by the depositr ing of a white ball in a subterranean cavity; and if any object were to be gained, the shortest and surest meth od would sorely be to carry the ball in the hand from cavity to cavity.* “I laughed. “ ‘But, prince,' I said, the difficulty of getting the ball into the cavities, as you call them, is what constitutes the attraction of the game.* “ ‘The difficulty constitutes the attraction, eh?’ The prince frowned. •Wen,’ he went on, ‘it would be more difficult to shave with a eoal shovel than a razor, but I don’t think many men are tempted on that account to remove their beards each morning In that way.'" **r -V" i "■ HX: '
