ADELAIDE TOURNAMENT VICTORIAN PLAYERS WIN ADELAIDE, Aug. 23. The Victorian women beat New South Wales by three to two. McMahon was again impressive with a dashing 70 in par figures except the third and tenth. Nettlefold’s putting was dazzling. Bettington was intermittently bright. Winser was sterling and solid. He deposed Whitton at the. forteith. Whitton at the twelfth holed from 160 yards. The Tolhurst sisters in a sparkling foursomes beat Miss Britten-Jones and Miss Kath Rymill.

Amusing matrimonial case heard a a far North court the other day. The wife, a hard-featured, middle-aged woman wanted a separation order bo cause she objected to her • husband smoking about the house. The magistrate smiled. “You object to smoking about the house?” he asked. “Can’t abear it,” replied the lady. “But,” continued his Worship, “if a working man is not to smoko in his own house, after tea, where is ho to smoke I” “There’s the fowl house,” replied the applicant. (Laughter). “Yes,” said the magistrate significantly, “and there’s the public-house—don’t drive him there.” Turning to the husband he asked: “What kind of tobacco do you smoke?” “Black Plug,” was tno 'reply. “Rather strong stuff,” said his worship with another smile.' “Why not try the toasted New Zealand? Your wife couldn’t object to that. It’s full of fragrance. Go home. No. order.” The Magistrate gave valuable advice. Toasted tobacco is best. Practically no nicotine in it. Four brands only: Riverhead GPld, Navy Cut No. 3, Cavendish, and Cut Plug No. 10. 269
