made to Order.
When the weather's made to order; that's the
time of year for me;
At evening you figure what tomorrow ought to be,
And you wake up in the morning with the sun
a-shining bright
And the maples all a-glinting over on the moun
tain height,
And a mist is on the river, with a faint and frosty
sheen,
And it rises like the curtain in a transformation
scene;
The air's like vapored nectar as it billows o'er
the lea
When the weather's made to order: that's the
time of year for me
You may sing of May and April, with the blos
soms and the rain,
And of summer with the roses, which the ruthless
frost has slain;
But those fleeting, fickly moments, like a falsely
smiling friend,
Inspire a joyous hope, but to destroy it in the
end.
'Tis gentle, generous autumn, with the bounteous
bending bough,
-That comes all even tempered, with a calm, un-
ruflled brow
And bids you cease to ponder as you wander,
fancy free;
When the weather's made to order; that's the
time of year for me.

When Betty Smile.
When Betty smiles, then waves of light
Seem flooding all the room,
And howsoever dark the night,
Dispelled is all the gloom
When Betty smiles.
When Betty smiles, her eyes of blue
Are deep, deep wells of love,
And, like the heavens and sea, as true,
Though clouds may float above
When Betty smiles,
When Betty smiles, her dewey lips
Slow part, and lo ! pearl gates
Do make one pause, or, ere one sips,
To thank the kind, good Fates
When Betty smiles.
When Betty smiles, all love is true
And truth is fraught with love,
As at her shrine we humbly sue
For this dear gift of love
When Betty smiles.
L'ENVOI
For Betty is a tiny miffs
Of four or thereabouts,
And all is joy and light and bliss
That scatter all our doubts
When Betty smiles.

EXGLISII PRAISE TIIAVIS.
llritisli Critic Eulogize Golf at Played
in America.
The Englishmen are still talking about
Walter J. Travis' victory in the open
championship and these comments will
be of special interest to the readers of
The Outlook, many of whom have met
Mr. Travis during his frequent visits to
Pinehurst to enjoy golf.
In a recent issue of "Golf Illustrated"
Horace G. Hutchinson has a great deal to
say about the "American invasion of the
English links," which is of interest.
Mr. Hutchinson begins his article with
a question. He asks. "May one say,
without straining too hard the bonds of
amity between nations, that the great fea
ture in the British golf of the passing
year has been the American invasion and
its conspicuous success?"
Continuing, he observes : "A great deal
has been said and writtenindeed, far too
much about Mr. Travis' place as a golfer,
but it is quite certain that whoever doubts
that Mr. Travis is a fine player makes a
vast mistake. That he was fortunate in
winning the championship is no less cer
tain, and to say this is to make no de
duction from his prowess, for even if we
are to suppose that he was the strongest
player in the competition (which is a large
assumption), still it is certain that the
Very strongest player in a competition of
that kind must have a little luck to help
him if lie is to come out right on top.
"Mr. Travis comes from America and
at the first time of asking wins this dis
tinction for which such players as Mr.
Hilton and Mr. Maxwell have had to wait
years and years. It is obvious that he was
a favorite of fortune. At the same time,
the merit of his game is quite beyond de
nial. There is not a man of any judge
ment of the game who saw his play in the
championship who does not confess that
such putting never was seen before.
"Without a doubt, we all made the mis
take of not taking seriously enough the
golf of Mr. Travis and of other Ameri
cans. Incidental!', it may be said that
by the light thrown on affairs by the win
over here of Mr. Travis and by the per
formances of other Americans in their
own country, it becomes evident that our
visiting team to America of the Oxford
and Cambridge Golfing Society did bigger
things than we credited them with when
they won a great majority of matches in
that tour. The fact that they won so large
a percentage made us disposed to under
rate their opponents."
Further on in the article Mr. Hutchin
son adds : "We have to remember also
that the year has taught us that there are
other players in America and other Amer
ican players besides Mr. Travis. There is
Mr. Chandler Egan, there is Mr. Byers,
to mention but two ; in fact, the scores
that the American golfers made on
courses of a known length ought to have
shown us, before Mr. Travis came to prove
it to us, that American amateur golf was
neither a quantity nor a quality to be
neglected."
Not Inspiring.
Lives of great men all remind us
They have been with genius hlest;
And have left such whopping footprints
They discourage all the rest.
