of a similar character, only those on
tanning the substance of all will be

terested In your great proterb con-
test, not for the psizes alone, but
for the entertainment and knowl-
edge it affords me, OF course L
wish to answer the proverbs as
near correctly as possible, and wish
to ask you II the proven book is
the same as q quotation book pub
lished some few years ago by the
EVENING STAR. MRS. j. M. J..
{ No, the EVENING STARS New
Book of English Proverbs Is entirely
different and has peer published for
exclusive use in this contest. There
is no other publication similar to this
book known to contain the proverbs
that are being used.
Proverb -ditor-On several occa-
sions o have practically the
dii iCfSi hioOi
classification, and the wording is
slightly changed. For instance,
Fair words won't feed a cat Is
classified under words while
under the letter 80 you have it,
Fine words wort iced a cat
Now, my question is: Is this
proverb called one or two different
proverbs. and will any one of the
tuyn trordinpS ha onrroct ~, ,,a,,ct

LOCAL CONTESTANT.
Although there may seem to be a
number of reasonable answers to GER
tain of the proverb illustrations. there
is but one correct proverb, and CON
testants will, by careful study of the
picture, be able to arrive at the right
one. The rules. state h the most
commonly used and familiar proverbs
have been selected. One of the two an
swers is right, but. of course, if you
are not satisfied with one answer. you
can send as many as you please. Write
each upon a separate coupon and be
careful MOTTO include more than $50
in our complete set.
An anonymous communication has
been received, from a man presumably,
who writes an cratic letter of some
thing he knows nothing about. He SAYS
he doesn't suppose it would be profit
ablb to publish the substance of his let
ter. n intimates that what he does
say IS said without malice. etc, He
complains about a previous contest con-
Quoted by the STAR and says in brief:
Proverb Editor-How is it that
the nriZa- winners in o,,r lot 49,
test knew they had won prizes be-
fore the announcement was made to
the general public? Is it not a fact
that they knew the answers?
HOPEFUL.
This is a ridiculous question to ash.
as nearly every one must know that the
STAR examined and interviewed all
persons who were in line for prizes in
lheir previous contest before
rnent was made to the public. After
inc Identity of these contestants had
oeeh fully proven and the STAR was
thoroughly satisfied that they were elig-
iole n entitled to prizes, they were
hotifed by letter. their photographs
were secured by their permission, and
tnen the announcement was made. But
the did not know the result of their
work until the STAR so notified them.
And the same method will be pursued
at the close of this contest. If Hope
1ur IS in line for a prize he also Will
Know that he is a winner before the
announcement is made.
v Editor-Wherever there
, are two ways. In your book, of put
ung the same proverb, will either
one count as correct? That is. II
one is slightly different in wording?
Are all answers in the alphabetical
list? Are you sure the answer to
No. 3 is in the book? PUZZLED.
AS stated before, there are different
versions or different workings to the
anne proverb. but there is only one cor
rect answer to each proverb illusta-
ton. No n knows whether or not all
OF the answers are in the alphabetical
list. We are sure that answer to No. 3.
as well as all of the answers to the Sc
ries of proverb illustrations, are con-
tanned in the book
