HAVE YOU ENTERED YOUR
BABY IN BIG PRIZE CONTEST?
Hundreds of Little Tots Seem to Have Rolled Right
Out of Bed Into The Herald Office, Bringing
Their Dimples Along

hugging his bottle of Bordens milk, to
the three-year-old boy who begins to feel
himself quite a man, and the little miss
who sits before mirror and babbles,
Pretty, pretty" these dear babies of
Washington have come to the Borden
Baby Contest.
Some have been combed and brushed
and scrubbed till their round little faces
fairly shine like bright flowers from be-
wildering ruffles Of lace and furbelows
and ribbons.
Others have come to the Baby Con-
test as you tind them at home, in romp-
ers or pinafore, just in their charming
everyday frocks, crisp with starch and
fresh as mOrning-glories.
Still more little tots seem to have rolled
right out of bed into the contest, bring
ing their bare, dimpled elbows and knees
along.
Charming in Any Garb.
In play suits; in Indian suits; in romp-
ers, or beribboned frocks, they are ba-
bies, just the same; babies that are not
like the babies anywhere else in all the
wide world, for nowhere are there such
lovely little men and tiny women as are
found in the children of Washington
and its vicinity.
And the contest has only just begun.
1t does not close until the 18th of No
vember, remember. which leaves ample
time to get a picture of every pretty
baby in Washington (and what baby
isn't pretty0.
The picture man in the Bachrach Stu
dio is making photographs Of babies just
as fast as he can go, and is so swamped
with business that he takes pictures Of
babies all day long. and dreams babies
at night.
If you have not entered your baby in
the contest you had better do II right
away. for il will be a mighty nice thing
to have that hfty dollars in gold TO
spend for the little tad, or some other
one of the many splendid prizes offered
the finest specimens of babyhOOd in
| Washington and its vicinity.
1t doesn't matter in the least, you
know, if you don't happen to have a good
picture Of the little darling. The Wash
| ington Herald has attended to all this,
and all you have TO do is just 90 down
to the BachraCh Studio and have one
made without paying cent for it.
Don't forget this.

CHAPTER VI.
By VAUGHAN KESTER
Betty Sets Out for Tennessee.

Betty Sets Out for Tennessee.
Bruce's first memories had to do with
long nights when he perched beside his
father on the cabin roof of their keel
boat and watched the stars or the blur
red line Of the shore where it lay against
the sky, or the lights on other barges
and RATS drifting as they were drifting
with their wheat and corn and whiskey,
to that common market at the rivers
mouth.
Bruce Darlington had seen the day Of
barge and raft reach its zenith, had
heard the first steam packets shrieking
whistle, which sounded the death-knell
of the ancient order, though the shifting
of the trade was a slow matter, and the
glory of the old did not pass over to
the new at once, but fingered still in
mighty fleets OF RATS and keel-boats
and in the Homeric carousals of some
ten thousand of the half-horse, half-all
gator breed that nightly gathered in
New Orleans.
After the reading of the warrant that
morning. Charley Balaam had shown
Darlington the road to the Forks. assur
ing him when they separated that with
little care and decent use Of his eyes it
would be possible to fetch up there and
not pass plumb through the settlement
without knowing where he was.
He was on his way 10 Fayetteville,
where he intended to spend the night
and perhaps a day or two in looking
around. when the meeting with Betty
and Murrell occurred. The girls face
remained with him. It was a face he
would like to see again.
He was still thinking of the girl when
he ate his supper that night at Cleg-
getts Tavern. Later, in the bar, he en-
gagged his host in idle gossip. He had
met a gentleman and a lady on the road
that day! he wondered as he toyed with
his glass, If it could have been the Fer
| rises? Mounted? Yes, mounted. Then
| 1t was Ferris and his wife-or it might
have been Capt Murrell and Miss NAL
roy. Miss Malroy did not live in that
part of the country; she was a friend
of Mrs. Ferris, belonged in Kentucky or
any rate she was bringing her visit to
an end, for Ferris had ms Icted him
to reserve a place for her al the north
| bound stage on the morrow.
Darlington suddenly remembered that
he had thought of starting north in the
morning himself.
The stage left at 6, and as Darlington
! climbed to his seat the next morning
Mr. Cleggett was advising the driver to

road, as he was TO pick up a party there.
1t was Darlington who looked sharp.
and almost at the spot where he had
seen Miss Malroy the day before he saw
her again. with Ferris and Judith and
a pile of luggage bestowed by the way
side Betty did not observe him as the
coach stopped, for she was intent on her
farewells with her friends. There were
hasty words of advice from Ferris, pro-
longed good-bys to Judith, tears-kisses-
while a place was being made for her
many boxes and trunks. Darlington
gathered that she was going North to
Washington; that her final destination
was some point either on the Ohio or

Rr JULY CHANDLER MANI.

That dear little girl, who holds out
pleading hands and looks at one with
wondering eyes, is the Blackstone
baby, little Margaret Anne Blackstone,
whose mamma and papa are Mr.. and
Mrs. z. D. Blackstone.
She is a friedly little maid who dares
you with her great frank eyes to keep
any secret from her.
And she knows all about the baby con-
test, for isn't she right here in the
midst of it with all the confidence in
the world?
Her faith is perfectly justifiable, too,
for the man would not De human who
could resist her outstretcned hands, and
splendid eyes, and as is a woman's way
from the cradle to the grave she will
use all her charm in the contest to win
a prize.
The other picture published today is
that of Master James Whateley Mer-
Ger, age three years and six months,
son of Mr.. and Mrs. NJ. B. Mercer,
whose home is 1918 Euclid street north
west
James is a serious little chap, who
has the expression of one who pOnders
weighty questions and untangles intri-
cate problems. but I am told that he
has quite a way of coming out Of his
dreams to the everyday frolicksome
world al a moments notice, and that he
does not take the whole of life as
seriously as he took the camera man
the day his mother had this picture
made.
His grave and quiet mood. so filled
with the long, long thoughts Of child
hood. is quite charming enough to
satisfy even the most critical judge in
the world.
Judges VIII Have Hard Time.
And this just reminds me TO wonder
how in the world the judges, who are
TO ne selected from Wusningtons prom
inent professional and business men, are
to award all those two hundred and
twenty prizes anyway, for I may say
honestly that I have never seen so many
beautiful babies as are represented by
the hundreds of pictures that have
already come to my desk since the con-
test opened.

SOCIETY APPROVES
COMPLEXION BEAUTIFIER

I'm seeking a dependable complexion
beautifier," says Mae Martyr in the Los
Angeles Examiner, no preparation for
whitening, beautifying, and toning the
complexion equals a simple, inexpensive
lotion, made by dissolving 4 ounces of
spurmax in h-pint of either witch hazel
or hot water, then adding 2 teaspoonfuls
of glycerine. Where witch hazel is used,
the lotion dries more readily on the
skin.
This splendid lotion does not rub of
or show like powder, and is very fine
for removing that shiny. sallow look from
the skin. 1t makes the skin very clear,
satiny, and beautiful and is so good that
bottle of ii is sure to be found on
the dressing table OF most society
women.
'I find 1t splendid for the skin, as IT
is very beneficial, while powder clogs
the pores, enlarging them. causing black
heads and rough, wrinkly compilations"

man and boy disappeared from Scratch
Hill, Murrell was sson on their trail
and pressing forward in pursuit. Reach
ing the mountains, he heard of them
first as ten days ahead of him and bound
for West Tennessee; the ten days dwin-
died to a week, the week became five
days, the five days three; and now as he
emerged from the last range of hills he
caught sight of them.
Yancy glanced back at the blue wall of
the mountains where 1t lay along the
horizon.

heap of distance between US and old
Scratch HILL"
For the past ten days their journey had
been conducted in a leisurely fashion.
AS Yancy said, they were seeing the
world, and IL was well to take a good
look at it while they had a chance.
Suddenly out of the silence came the
regular beat OF hoofs. These grew
nearer and nearer, and at last when they
were quite close. Yancy faced about.
Smilingly Murrell refined in his horse.
"Why-Bob Yancy" he cried in ap-
parent establishment
Eyes. sir; Bob Yancy. Does 1t hap
pen you are looking To- him, captain?'
INQUIRED Yancy.
"No~no, Bob. I'm on my way West"
Murren slipped from his saddle and
fell into step at Yancy's side as they
moved forward.
