The judging was not done alone
from the standpoint OF prettiness.
The judges first took into considera-
tion that the attractiveness of the
windows, inasmuch as the first func-
ton OF a window display is to attract
attention Secondly, they judged
from a standpoint of the selling pow
er of the displays. for without this
power the attraFtiveness is lost. Har-
mony and taste We're also factors in
determining the judges.
The Bond Bros. windows. trimmed
by Lou SteeIhanimer. combined all OF
these qualities to a. marked degree.
There may have been more attractive
windows and others showing just as
much taste and harmony but in the |
opinion of the Judges none combin- |

covered a bed of wild strawberries on
the bank of a river and near the road.
Two days later Stephen took a young
man and the two girls to the spot in
his auto. There were berries galore,
and each one was helping himself
when the plan for the great shock
came to Miss lone like a flash. She
had taken notice, and she did not
doubt herself. If she could withdraw
from the party and get into the auto
and go whizzlng across the bridge and
up the hill the shock would come.
II took quite bit of strategy to ac-
complish her purpose, but it was car
ried out. The first warning came to
the three pickers when the horn gave
a defiant toot, and they rose up to-
gether and cried out in unison.
The auto started at its highest
speed, and was almost at the far end
Of the bridge when Its driver got
scared and checked 1t and backed 1t.

father when she had quite decided.
Mr.. Welcome was n victim of gout,
and therefore his point was well taken
when he replied:
mo matter how you spell It, the
name rhymes with bone, groan and
moan, and that makes 1t all right
Following the law of chronology, It
ought TO have been noted at the start
that Stephen Hope made his entrance
into this country just two years before

Stephen didn't cut much of q dash

in IT. In fact, he didn't rufIle the sur
face of Lake Erie a little bit as he
grew up. He was placid.
Had Miss lone been n boy she would
have been into mischief half the time.
She wanted to be on the go.
And when this girl and this sober
sided and placid young man became
acquainted there were people who
gasped, with the words:

There is no sense in the old saying
that opposltes attract, for you emit

reason Miss lone Welcome and Mr..
Stephen Hope were attracted to each
other and got along very well. 1t be-
came a case of love on his part, and
he finally proposed. She ran away with

mother and her mother exclaimed:

"But- sort of like Stephen"
You'd better let him be your grand
father than your husband. You
wouldn't live together three months"
Miss lone went away and thought Of
the matter for an hour, and then re-
turned to say:
Mother, l read a story one time
about such a young man as Stephen

There was girl and she was about

"Yes?"
"Someone told her that the young
man would be altogether different If
he got a sudden great shock. That
what he needed was to be aroused out

railroad track and let him snatch her

dive would have gone over her. 1t was

"Why. he was n jolly fellow after
