county in which the applicant re-
sides or in Frankfort, before the

ate as herein described, or take this
special examination, which is in all
respects. the equivalent of a State

Miss Starling's Letter From Siam.

Laos. Siam. We had a very pleas
ant Xmas. Festivities began the
Saturday afternoon before, when
Mrs. Harris gave a Xmas tree for
the children. and we "oId folks"
we're invited, too. The tree was an
enormous palm-the small round
leaf variety. land touched the cell
ing. 1t was covered with cotton,
candles, and tree ornaments. besides
the gifts for the children. and home
made paste board boxes of candy,
for the grown ups" We had tea.
and games on the lawn. until dark,
when the tree was lighted. Just as
we were about to leave, big cloud
came up. with thunder and lightning
and We just cot home before heavy
shower. Mrs. Kerr fingered behind,
and was caught in the rain. and had
to stop in our house. She and her
little girl dress elegantly. and her
point d'esprit dress was soaked.
She had badly sprained ankle. and
couldn't get out of the cart without
help. and hurt her ankle again.
She will give tree for the children,
next Saturday afternoon.
Xmas morning, we had church of
England service for the English, at
the church. The Collinses and Mr..
Reid took dinner with us. One of
our Xmas presents was a turkey, so
we had that for dinner, the first
time / had turkey since coming to
Loas. That afternoon was Bundle
Puppy" day at the club. There were
all sorts Of crazy contests. TIE la
dies were in three of them. The
first on the ladies stood in a row,
each with pile of tennis balls at
her side. The men raced horseback,
and after they had each caught three
balls his lady threw him, they raced
back to the goal-the one reaching
it first winning the prize. Some of
the women threw wild and the men
couldn't catch the balls at al. My
partner thought the men were 60
ing to start from another place, and
they had started before he knew it,
so never got chance to show my
prowess.
The next contest was trimming
hats. The women lined up behind
big tables, while the men raced to
some baskets. each with a hat and
s me trimmings in it, then to the
table. where they were given seven
minutes to trim their hats. The
men we're to thread the needles, but
were not allowed to make sugges-
tons. When the hats were trimmed
the men were to put them on. run
for their horses. mount and race
back to the goal
Ia the next contest the men raced
to table where there was a dry
biscuit and a bottle of soda water.
which they we're to eat and drink.
Before starting they were given the
name of a tune. After they had
partaken of these Treatments.
they were to race to where the la

was to whistle his tune to his lady
who wrote down the name of it and
gave it back then he raced back to
the goal. My partner was the first
one to finish his cracker and soda,
and recognized the tune at once,
and he could have easily been first
had he not raced back the wrong
way. So | was in hard luck all
around. that afternoon.
Yesterday afternoon was cricket,
the tamest game l ever saw. They
have a bat as big as a boat oar, and
they run the bases with it in their
hand. The batter always hits the
ball on a bounce. | don't see how
they could ever miss hitting it. The
pitcher throws it so it will hit the
ground before it reaches the striker.
and they never do any yelling over
their games. The nearest they come
to it is a "hip-hip, hurray!" when
the games are all over with. There
are some good polo players, though,
and some good racing.
The past week has been an unusual
ly busy one,it closing our first school
month. The two princesses came in
this week and have turned things
upside down, as BELTS their rank.
They were homesick at first and
their mother and father have been
to see them every day. They have
always paid their respects to us, too,
and have consumed a good deal of
valuable time. They were very
pleasant, though, and we are glad
to have the girls in school. l believe
we are the only school in Laos that
is patronized by the higher classes.
They are very careful of their daugh-
tiers Gas they well may be. consider
ing the low state of morals existing
in this or any other Oriental land)

we are going to take good care of
