fcnrtls of the woman's national golf

jcttyou nnd the dimpled 6ml,e that wcl
mes ou ar0 a l"s,,nct shock after the
tatntal picture you had formed biseil on
esrtln newspaper photographs that have
Wen taken from time to time of this
fiiarmlng Philadelphia golfer In uctlon
&inrABB to Mis. Vanderbeck herself.
these pictures make her out a tort of
erosf between Carrie Notion and a whirl
je dervish.
j!ut when you hear her talk or her fa
vorite sport and of her bout with the re
doubtable Rngllah player whom she beat
g the Hnals In the tournament In tho
West, you begin t5 ftel that It Isn't ncces
sarr to look liko a hoary veteran,
dfulnly-eyed nnd flat-footed, in order to
lead In a game which presidents nnd
talesmen regard as worthy of their au
tTiit consideration.
Of lourte. It Is a little terrlfjlng to the
tnilous Interviewer, whose editor has i
way of expecting her to have at least a
working knowledge of all known sub-
Jects, to try and keep up with Mrs
VanderDecKS cur:iesa way ui menuunil'K
ashles and brassies, niblicks and Jlggeis
and of 'halving a hole in six" (that, even
to tho mathematically Inclined mind
jaeems a perfectly Impossible feat to
rachleve). But, meitfrully, golf Is not all
; technicalities. It has Its populai aspect,
too, arid very soon Mrs. Vanderbeck was
'talking along In a way that the mc.st
ilmple-mlnded could not fall to under
hand "If every woman could play golf three
or Jour times a week," she paid enthusl
aatlcally, speaking of the public llnki
rearing completion at Cobb's Creek, "I
, think It would be one of the finest thlngi
for the race nnd for the women them
selves that could possibly happen.
" "There Is no more healthful sport than
this. It Is a game which, once begun,
cannot fa'l to Interest. And once having
Interested, the player Is forced to forget
all petty worries Indeed, even the cob
webs of large business worries are swept
from the mind If a good game Is on, for
folt la like a jealous woman. It demands
the entire attention of its devotees
''Every year more and more men the
tired business kind and the professional
men whose work Is harnsslng are be
ginning to realize the value of golf In
fitting them for the next day's work, and
If nenous women could only find the
leisure for a few games now and then
the benefits derived would, I believe, be
Incalculable." i
Mrs. Vanderbeck has been playing golf
for 14 years, and she started, she savs
when she was 17. This In Itself Is another
way or catling the golf link the fountain
if youth and ought to cause to surge
within the breast of every woman who
cares for anything at all about her youth
and her looks an lrrenresnlhln riosira in
play the game. Even a harsh critic would

Co-operative Distribution of
Harrington Pianos and Player-Pianos, by
Gimbel Brothers, Philadelphia
in arrangement with the makers of both the Harrington
and Hardman Piano
Hardman, Peck & Co., New York
This is our reply to scores who have personally
called or have written to know if ever again we could offer
these
Artistic Instruments on the Money
Saving Gimbel Club Plan
The Gimbel Club plan and it has never been
fully met by even the most helpful projects for furnishing
musical instruments makes of those joining the Club
with us a co-operative band to so lessen the costs of buy
ing and distribution that the individual member is given
the buying-power of the combined membership. It is like
buying at wholesale, which no individual can do we
acting as the representative, and, cumulating the neces
sary expense fund and a brokerage profit for our work,
naming-
An Inclusive Club Price Lower Than Any
One Can Secure on These Fine Instru
ments With No Interest or Extras to be
Added On.
Then the total sum is cut up into
Weekly Payments Too Small To Worry You at All
$1.25 Weekly on Piano
$2 Weekly on Player-Piano
Under this plan
The Harrington Piano
Co-operation is the
Winning Force
Suppose all the actual cash in the United States were evenly
divided among its inhabitants hot a single individual would have
money enough to buy a round-trip ticket to San Francisco.
Co-operation the gathering of rrloney and securities on
the other hand, makes it possible to engage in large undertakings.
And the money as a whole works for all.
Credit is the financial name for co-operation faith in the
honesty of the individual guided and controlled by the benign
influences of civilized society.
You desire to buy a home. It isn't necessary to have in
hand the actual cash. The Building and Loan association finances
the deal, and you pay for the home in dribblets. In a few years, by
the enforced habit of systematic saving, you have paid for your
house created a unit of property or wealth, from sums that other
wise would have left nothing to show for them.
Any home can own a really good piano or player-piano.
No hardship worthy the name need be undergone. The Gimbel
Piano Clubs offer the way the easy payments fitted to save
dimes and quarters that you can bring yourself to save by simple
determination.
To t sure, a musical instrument can be purchased any
where on pa Ytial payments nearly all are sold that way ; instru
ments of evey make.
The Cfub idea adds to the convenience of partial payments
the power of co-operation. The membership becomes in effect
partner with us, and shares the advantage we gain by the tre
mendous buying power your co-operation gives and the lessened
selling costs when you really help in the work.
Nothing is required of you, but involuntarily the act of
your joining influences others to join.
A musical instrument of any desired grade or repute is
procurable at a lower price through a Gimbel Club than can be
obtained anywhere in the United States. That is the big fact on
which these co-operative clubs win success for you and us.
Will Cost You $250
the Harrington Player-Piano Will Cost You $425
As every member is in full co-operation with us in this club plan
We Will Deliver the Instrument Without A Penny of Advance Payment
Those who know the advantage of the Gimbel Club Plan
know how short-sighted any one is to hold back, fearing to enter an
engagement running over such a long period because
1. If club member, having kept up payments, dies, the
family keeps the Piano or Player-Piano without having
another cent to pay. This insurance plan has been tested
in cases where only a few payments have been made.
2. Whenever convenient, the member can pay larger
sums than $1.25 or $2 a week, earning cash rebates of
15c on every $1.25 piano payment made in advance, or
20c rebate on every $2 player-piano payment so made.
Every feature of the Club plan is worked out on true busi
ness principle, with the experience of the standard life insurance
companies to help.
Famous Musicians Act as a Tone Jury
Prof. William Silvano Thunder, organist of the Cathedral
and master of piano, organ and harmony and
Prof. Stanley Muschamp, organist of First Baptist Church,
Philadelphia, and accompanist Philadelphia Choral Society.
Have agreed' to personally test every instrument for
tone, balance, voicing, and to certify in writing your instru
ment. s
However perfect any make of goods, it' is still a comfortto
know that what you buy has been approved after personal in
spection by experts,
Who are
Hardman, Peck & Co.?
The world of music answers :
"Makers of the piano and player-piano used and loved by
more world-famous musical folk than any other."
They own two splendid factories in New York city the
Hardman factory, making the more costly line, and the Harrington
factory bought to produce a less costly line. But musical taste
will not be outraged. The makers could not bear to be connected
with other than a really artistic instrument. So the Harrington
had one after another of the great Hardman ideals worked in,
until it, too, achieved recognition as "artistic."
There are over three hundred American makes of piano.
Scarcely a dozen have won full artistic recognition. ,
Caruso, Tetrazzini, Ricardo
Martin, Renaud, Campanini,
Slezak, Olive Fremsted, Emmy
Destinn and Cavalieri are
staunchest supporters of Hard
man instruments.
