home of Mrs. C. W. Soper, on Grand

pc written on a. dainty card cut in the
shape OF a shoe. Miss Winnifred Kin

awarded the prize, handsome china
shoe match holder, for the best an
sWers. The 10 reasons given by the
prize winner why men are like their
boots were. that they squeeze the more
they are polished the better they shine,
they don't improve in beauty with old
age, they grow dearer with acauaint-
ance, sometimes they wear we'll and
sometimes not, the fancy ones are more
sought after than the plain, and a fan
cy tie is a great addition, while the
ladies like to have strings on them,
and finally. that small shoe and a
small man are generally chosen by
large women. With the prize was also
given little poem entitled Man and
His Shoes which was quite original
and amusing. During the afternoon re-
