PRIZE FOR MISERY.
Quaint Contest at Country Fete in
a Shropshire Town.

Market Drayton Corr. London Mail.
In this little Shropshire township there
has today been seen more apparent mis-
cry than one would normally find in two
whole counties.
throughout the day local bachelors
have wandered around with the scored
lines Of anguish upon their features. For
tunately this distress has been merely on
the surface. All the wearers of jauhdiced
countenances have been simply competi-
tors in surely the strangest competition
ever devised-a competition for the most
misera ble-looking bachelor. 1t was held
at fee in. aid Of a Shropshire sana-
torium For days past the bachelors have
been practicing how to draw long race.
The fete would have been gloomy func-
ton had there not been as a CONTRAST
prizes offered for the happiest-looking
stepping boy and girl under sixteen.
No fete field has ever presented such
comical appearance az did the tented m
closure at the end of the town. Nhiie
the men essayed to look gloomy the girls

marks were awarded for the following
points: Puckered brows, droooing mouth
corners, wild or sad eyes. unshaven chin
and general forlorn appearance Dimpies,
good teeth. apple cheeks. enticing giahces
