If there is one thing more than another for which

the popular papers should be scourged it is the space they give to a personage styled by the papers in question Gorgeous Gussie. This lady, I gather, plays tennis on public occasions in costumes which provoke comment. The comment, and all the attendant publicity, must be extremely painful to her, for I have no reason to doubt that she is of a modest and sensitive disposition, and only wears what she does wear because she feels comfortable in them. If the papers could only make a compact never to mention her name again they would obviously be doing a great kindness to her—and a still greater kindness to their readers. JANIIS.
