young woman who. while she hasn't
been quite 50 regular. has competed IL
a great majority of them from the be
ginning and now finds herself in the
coveted niche in the hall Of fame.
1t only goes to show that there's nc
reason to be discouraged IL fate seems
TO pass Sou by in favor of others. May.
be this is best expressed in u letter W,
have received from James Keenan,, Jr.
Of PhorniXvillc. who writes:
This is a great game. My chances
are improving. There have been twenty
six winners and thew do not seem to live
M to their assurances of repeating

II has struck MS that il might he wei

HELM them work our these last lines
Its method that W" use ourselves II
writing the first four lines and It is fu'
of happy suggestions.
Take todav's limerick, for instance
The last line must end with rhym
to "Ni' and 'huy'
! So take pencil and paper ready I
Nui
think Of Best thing 10 do is TO hegi
with the letter "a" and go right dow
n" alphabet.
How many words beginning with "a
r npd rhyming with buy" can We thin
' Of? Well, there's "awry" so put
down.
Now try "R." There's "by' an
bye and bye"
So We 60 down the alphabet, maxim
up list something like this:
ST. ST'{ bye Sisa. SS5S HE Fys F,s' ''y' ply
cry sly sign, S'E
die. dry lyolic. lyo tie, try, thy
eye my We
fry. AZ nigh. nearbywhy, wry
Going over list like this will 500
suggest idens that can be worked u
into a good line Try il yourself nd
lot us know If it helps You. Maybe
might be worth while for us 10 prir

the rhvme required in the limerick.
the fans want il, all they've got 60 d
is say 50.
