Mile. Falconetti's face is sunburned and her lips are shrunken and seem dry; thin lines mark her forehead, her rough hair, cut short, fits her head like a wooden cap. She is ugly, but her eyes are beautiful, and as her thought makes changes in her face she too becomes beautiful. At first, she seems paralyzed with amazement and terror; later, from some unexplained emotion, she weeps", and through the trial big tears run down her tanned face.

To dance the Esmeralda in a Gibson hat, to pedal with ballooning skirts on a bicycle built for two, to play blindman's buff in midnight conservatories during dance intermissions-these are diversions that little become a shrunken or a wadded shape. Yet when a woman's sport is a man's sport-golf, for instance-she may become it like a man even after 20 or 40 years, as the players in the U. S. Senior Women's Golf Championship proved last week.
