 other. was equally as appropriate and It
 would be hard to decide which medal was preitier. Edna won her medal under many difficulties and may well be proud of it. The Judge made some very appro-
 priafe remarks on the virtues of punetual- ity, though he insisted that he had forgot ten his made npr speech.
