They All Clipped With Care.

 Elizabeth worked hard on her book, too, planning the arrang ngeulent of her pages win care, and clipping con- scientiously the stories and pictures she thought fitted the reGufreme of the contest. Third prize was hers and she deserved it.

This will please the winners and it will please those who didn't win, for they can sec how to do next time. For there will be another contest soon, so watch fqntas pagel
 And the best part of it all was what the girls all said when they left the office:
 we enjoyed it so much! It wasn't work, it was just fun, and we feel that we learned something, tool"
 Which was balm to the heart of fI1t ArnuSern erlt Editor.

From left to right Ella Appleyard winner second of first prize Elizabeth Adzina, winner of third prize

Here are Ehe winners of the Times Scrapbook Club contest, which closed just recently. Prizes were awarded Wednesday afternoon in the Times office by the Amusement Editor, and the girls were the happiest you've ever seen! They didn't QUITE jump with glee, although they felt like it! Of course, being demure young la dies and having attained the mature age of 13 and II, they couldn't very well caper about a strange office.
 But their smiles, and their half shy, wholly sincere words of thanks were pleasant Ito hear.
 Jessie Larsen, aged 13, who lives at 76 Newfield avenue, won the first prize, which was $10 and a nice new bank. Ella. Appleyard aged II, of 2732 Main street, Stratford, won the second prize of $5 and Q nice new bank. And Elizabeth Adzima, aged t3, of 125 Helen street, won the last prize, $2-50 and a nice new bank
 The banks were given ito the win neTs by the Bridgeport Savings bank, through courtesy of Samuel M. Havr- ley, its treasurer, and MT. Hawley will be glad to know that all the girls put their money right in the Mule shining banks, and intend to leave it there!
 She Would a-Canlpin% Go!
 Jessie, a chcery-faced girl who goes to High school, smiled as she said: F'Yes, I'm going to put my money right in the bank and it'll stay there

 has been sick for six months and has only been able to be out the past three weeks. SHE wants to go camping, too, tff I'm well enough D she added. wistfully.
 These girls won over a crowd of school children aged from ten to if teen. the stunt being to choose from the Times daily Amusement Page those articles and pictures That would make an attractive scra pbook, which would make as good reading five or ten years from now as it does today.
 Jessie. in the opinion of the judges, made the best choice of articles and pidl ures. arranged them most simply and arisfiCalIy; made her book her self, and put q conventional design on the cover. Then she co1Ored with skill and care the various pictures of movie actresses and scenes in which they aDDeGred.

The result of her reappearance was one of the biggest weeks business in the history of the theatre.
