[CHAPTER XII]
NED USES TACT
On Monday Kendall took his first lesson in golf. He appeared at Ned’s room wearing his old brown sweater and a pair of heavy shoes, one toe of which showed the effects of many collisions with the football. Ned looked him over and shook his head.
“You can’t do anything with that sweater, Curt,” he said. “It binds your arms too much. It isn’t cold to-day. Leave your sweater here.”
“But I haven’t any vest on!”
“You don’t need a vest. That’s it. Hello! where’s your belt?”
“I wear suspenders,” Kendall replied.
“So I see. Take ’em off and I’ll find a belt for you. Here’s one of Teller’s.”
“Won’t he mind my using it?” asked Kendall doubtfully as he removed his suspenders.
