Betty Nuthall Decides To Stay In U.S.A.

From America comes, the news that Miss Betty Nuthall, who had been acting as captain of England’s Wightman Cup team in the United States, will remain there for the rest of the English winter. She has accepted the position of manageress of the Palm Springs Lawn Tennis Club. Betty is sure to make a great success at the job, for she is ideally suited to

that kind of work. She is exceedingly popular in America—it must not be forgotten that she is the only English girl ever to have won the American championship title—and she is a welltrained business woman into the bargain. For a time she took entire charge of the Nuthall’s hotel at Richmond, and made a most efficient manageress. She superintended .the entire running of the hotel, and was so keen on her work that she used to rise every morning at dawn and travel to Covent Garden to buy flowers and vegetables for the hotel. There will be nothing amateurish about the running of the Palm Springs Lawn Tennis Club while she is there.
