Ladies Piety Billiards in the homes throughout Britain, America, and the Dominions. George Nelson, ex-eham-pion of Yorkshire, writes:— “There is no game which makes a plain woman appear more graceful or a pretty woman prettier. Is not that an argument in favour of women playing billiards?” He quotes a medical authority who says: “There is just sufficient weight in a cue to try the muscles of the right hand, and the position of the left hand resting on the table creates a slight strain on the muscles of the left arm. “When a woman leans over the table, stretching her arm to make a shot, she - exercises the muscles of the waist. This stroke is excellent for the shoulders, too. With the combination of movements, added to the necessity of making a stroke, you have an ideal exercise. But the BEST "Billiard Tabla and the "BEST Accessories are essential! Head Office: The Baker Building, I'catheroton St., Wellington.
