Judges were bewildered by the array
of daintiness and charm of the chubby
youngsters and had a difficult task in
picking the prize winners. After COM |
pairing notes, however, it was found |
that the lovely three-months-old twin |
girls Of Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Oxford, |
Hazel and Rachel, were the fortunate |
ones winning the first prize, $40 in |

II months old daughter of Mr.. and I
Mrs. F. c. HUE, looking every inch a
prize winner, was awarded the second |
prize, S. in gold.
