CHANCE TO
EARN MEDAL
Department ofAgriculture Makes
OFFER to School Boy
or Girl.

A gold medal to the school BOY or
girl between the ages Of 10 and Is who
writes the best composition, not to ex-
coed 500 words, on the repair and main
tenance of earth roads, is TO be award
ed by Logan Waller Page, Director,
Office Of Public Roads, United States
Department of Agriculture, Washing
ton, ID. e.. All com positions must lie
submitted 10 Mr.. Page before May Is.
1913. and the medal will he awarded as
soon thereafter as the compositions
can be graded. The composition may
lie based on knowledge gained from
books or other sources, but no quota
tons should be made.
After many years experience in
dealing with the puplic road situation
of the country, ii is Mr.. Pages belief
that ignorance on the subject of repair
and maintenance of roads is as much
the cause of their bad condition as any
other factor. 1t is expected that the
competition will bring about a better
understanding of the subject of repair
and maintenance in the rural districts.
Many children living in the rural
districts have experienced the disad-
vantages of roads made impossible
through lack OF proper maintenance
and IL is expected that their interest in
the competition will stimulate greater
interest among the parents. Bad roads
have prevented many children from
obtaining proper education and have
even prevented doctors from reaching
the side of rural patients In time to
save their lives.
Any child between the ages mention
ed, attending u country school, may
compete. Only one side of the paper
must be written on; each page should
be numbered; the name, age, and ad-
dress of the writer, and the name and
location of the school which he or she
is attending must be plainly written
at the top of the first page. The an
nouncement of the competition has
been sent to the superintendent of
schools in the rural districts. No fur
Their information con be obtained from
the Nffice of Public Roads. This an
nouncement should be plain TO every
one, and all children will thus start on
basis OF equality.

than this season. Verify has the old

goes to make milady OF the wardrobe

which recently saw and some which

clients.
For one Of my designs chose a
matronly fabric, delicious taupe

the picture. developed in two shades
OF chiffon and in the simplest manner
possible.
The headdress worn with this cos.
tune is novel and becoming. The
narrow gold cord round the head
joins IN front under a ieweled pend
ant. The high feather is spring set
in jeweled border.
In my second design I depended
on graceful draperies and delicately
colored fabrics rather than on In
tricacy of detail and design. The
skirt is one OF the hemless affairs
which are so ingenue and dainty.
The wonderful scarf drapery hanging
from the bodice and caught in front
under the jeweled ornament, Is mar
velously becoming to the slender
young bride for whom it was created.
The costume is developed in shades
Of she'll pink chiffon.

OR the correct serving OF
r. meal, whether it is the simple
d home dinner or for a more
ceremonious occasion, there is a GER
tain standard OF excellence to be OBJ
served. Those who care for the es-
sentials OF refined living know that
orderliness and dignity in the details
OF the table appointments are OF
vital Importance. The understanding
OF these matters should be the
pleasure and pride OF every young
housekeeper and homemaker, who
should be capable OF instructing her
servants in the method of laying q
table and in the duties Of attending
to it and to all Of its necessary be-
longings. An experienced maid may
be taught to arrange the table at
tractively and to take proper care Of
the linen, silver, cutlery, china and
glass. Not every one can have an
accomplish I'd butler.
For the family meal there may be
less decoration than for All occasion
when guests are expected, but 1t is
not a difficult thing to have an
artistically arranged table every day.
