girls OF 1909 will carry parasols with
their bathing -suits-a really sensible
notion while one is lounging on the
blistering sand.

Very graceful indeed is this pretty

A Popular Story.
Eight OF our members send in this
hunting story, so it must be a good
one. We select the version of Beman
Davis, Forney, Ada, because it is
shorter, and, we think, little better
written than the Others "One day,
out hunting in Alabama, [ sat down
on the bank of river to rest, and in
a few minutes a flock of about 500
ducks came flying towards me.

throat and choked him to death. The
stock flew back and knocked me over

Bobby and the Cat.
Beatrice Lackey, of Bodga, Miss,
tells short story that is good.
"Bobby had been asking a good many
questions, when his mother said:
Bobby, stop asking so many ques-
tons; curiosity once killed cat, you
know Bobby was still for about
two minutes, when he asked: Mann
ma, what was it the cat wanted to
know?''

many of them are we'll told and we'll
written. A few can not be consid-
cred. A joke or a story which de-
ponds for its point on profanity, or
something that you would not like
to tell to your mother, is not good.

First Prize for Girls.
Ruth Wilks, Of Alexton, La, is
brief and to the point: "a little boy
was sitting behind bald-headed man
at church, who was scratching the
fringe of hair on one side Of his shiny
pate. The old gentleman kept it up
SO long that at last the little boy be-
came interested, and, leaning over,
said: Say, mister, you'll never
catch him there Why don't you run
him out in the open F"
First Prize for Boys.
This goes to Earle L. Bell, r. F. d.
/, Augusta, Ga. "a few years ago,
Pat and Mike, who had just arrived
in America, were walking barefooted
across a large field. Presently they
met farmer with a stick in his hand,
and they asked him what he was car
rying it for. The farmer replied that
he carried it to kill snakes. Now
there are no snakes in Ireland, and
Pat and Mike wanted to know what
they looked like. The farmer told
them that they were things that
crawled on the ground and had a
body like a whip and head like your
big toe. The Irishmen got sticks and
walked on until they came to rail
fence. Pat told Mike to crawl over
first and see if he saw snake. Mike
crawled over and looked, but did not
see snake, so he told Pat to come
ahead. Pat put his foot in the crack
of the fence to climb over, and Mike,
seeing his toe, shouted, Pat! Pat!
Wait, | see a snake' and drawing
back with all his force hit Pat S toe
