HIGH SCHOOL NOTES

A good crowd turned out to hear the
oratorical contest on Friday night.
The winner was found by adding up
the decisions of the Judges with the
decision of the judge on composition,
Miss Craig. Raymond Bounous was
chosen as Monett's representative to
Springfield. The other contestants
also did good work, but were not in
the same class with the winner.

ANIMATED SPOTS
IN LOCAL MARKET
Vigorous Buying Of "Pennsy'
and U. G. I.-New Top
for EisenIohr

Trading in the local stocks was more
animated than noted for some weeks
and showed mn encouraging broadening
tendency. A number of strong spots
,lcvcloped during the session. with
substantial price Improvement.
A vigorous buying movement in 7.
G.. 7. was the outstanding feature Of the
early dealings, advancing that stock z.
noints above Saturdays final quotation
70 "a. The movement was not altogether
surprising in view of the intimations
made last week by responsible sources
Of important developings occurring this
week. The movement was made the
more impressive because the advance
disclosed there had been significant ac-
cumulaton during the past fortnight
while the stock tluctuatcd between J3
and 81. The nature Of the developments
referred TO were still carefully guarded.
PENNSYLVANIA Railroad was another
strong feature and at 40 was within
Il Of the years top price. The
trading was uncommonly active and
while indirectly traceable to sympa-
thctic influence Of the further enhance
mcnt in the rail division in the New
York market, the buying was undonbt-
cdly melted more because of the almost
certainty of the directors at their meet

A renewed active demand also sprang

than 10 points since the movement
started. Persistent reports prevail Of

movements there was every Evidence of

A Place To Sit Down in the Garden

In gardens abroad the very most Is made of the charm of garden resting places. and few formal seats against Towering backgrounds or at the end of pretty vistas-do add ever so much to any garden. They make it look more like settled adjunct of your estate (even if the ''estate" is just quarter acre suburban lot). and less like an experiment. in gardening.
 If you cannot afford stone benches of graceful Italian design, there are pleasingly shaped benches of painted iron or wood that will look well against a flower background, or against shrubbery, and which need not be moved all summer long. An arch of wire with some towering vine trained over it--or a crimson rambler perhaps-and a low seat set under the arch, is a charming effect very easily achieved, and such an arch and seat at the end of a garden path will give surprising individuality and character to your garden.
 White jars full of pansies or nas- turtiums are very decorative in a gar den and these jars Should be placed with formality for the best effect: twin jars f1anking path and forming the end of vista, or something like that Fortunate the woman who has a low brick wall along the back, or at one side of her garden. Nothing is more picturesque or charming as a back. ground for roses or hollyhocks.

 And women no longer have to use masculine implements for outdoor games. Tennis racquets. golf clubs, trout rods. canoe paddles are made specially for feminine use. Strength and lightness are the qualities aimed at in these sport tools for feminine hands. Golf clubs come in lengths to suit tall and short figures. Tennis racquets of adequate weight and per feet balance have handles that may be more easily gripped by feminine hands than the larger handle of the masculine racquet.
 Even automobiles, are built with brake adjustments specially arranged for women drivers. The feminine saddle is different from the masculine

saddle. though both look alike on the horse, now that femininity has taken to riding astride. Woman is very well taken care of by the manufacturers of sport paraphernalia and her prowess in athletic pursuits increases year by year.
 In any game proper tools are three quarters of the battle in winning. Ex- actly the right tennis racquet for your size, weight. strength and endurance will carry you through the tourna- ment much more successfully than e racquet too heavy which tires your arm or racquet too light which uses up too much force in trying to hit hard at every stroke. Most women tourna- ment players prefer a thirteen or thirteen and half ounce racquet. Only a very strong and enduring woman should use anything heavier. You may think you can hit harder and bet ter with a fourteen ounce racquet bor- rowed from brother, but your sure strong drives won't last so well through a long set and you will be more tired when you finish. It is pot the heayiness of athletic tools that counts-though many women think that 1t is--but the Just-rightness in size. weight and adjustment to fem mine size, weight and endurance.
 Women are growing more particu- lar too about their sport luggage. The feminine tennis racquet has just as efficient a rubber-lined case and wooden frame as the masculine racquet. The golf bag pictured is a very smar, and snappy affair for woman golfer It is a trifie smaller than the mascu- line golf kit because woman uses slightly shorter clubs. and usually gets along with fewer, those few carefully selected. The pictured golf kit looks very neat and spic-span but that is because it is just out. of the shop Brand new daintily clean athletic togs are no more desired by most people who excel in sports than beautiful, new luggage guiltless of knowing looking hotel and steamship labels are by travellers. Nobody wants to i'm press the casual observer as being Q beginner so the very excellent golf bag or tennis racquet cover bearing the hallmark of first-rate workmanship but rather banged-up from faithful uso is the desideratum. Therefore 1t pays to buy In the beginning the very best sport implements you can-and then use them as. long as you can There Is nothing 30 cheap looking e. a cheap golf outfit. or tennis outfit. or riding outfit. Such things must be of the expensive type in the beginning to stand the wear and tear.

 Silk Sport Dresses For Vacation Days
 Nothing prettier has stepped over
 fashions horizon in years than the little summer sport dresses of wash silk. They are so cool and so light you scarcely know you have them on and there Is a special grace in the frock of silk that blows about or flut- ters in the breeze. A very attractive
 little froek is pictured; blue with black stripes in the bodice, and black with blue stripes in the skirt, cuff affd
 collar. This Is typical sport froek
 of 1922 summer; straight-lines, one- piece model with sash at a low waist
 line; sleeve to the elbow, and neckline slashed open and edged with a small turned back collar You can dupli- cate this model in tub silk, in linen, in eponge, in shantung and have a stun ningly smart sport frock for summer | moEpings.
 To the list of vacation togs has been added the ombre-striped sweater, or rainbow sweater as 1t is sometimes
 called. The one in the picture is of white knitted wool with shaded purple stripes on sleeve-edge, sweater-edge and scarf, Sometimes the ombre stripes cross the sweater all the way up. Note that this good looking, new sweater has the V neck. now smarter than the shallow rounded neckline.

What To Give the Bride

There are dainty bedside lamps within this price limit and sets of china for the serving of special courses, like asparagus. salad or ice cream. Or a breakfast-in-b be d set with dainty chinaware and wicker table tray. Ten dollars will buy pretty bits or sets of china, attractive framed pictures, 8 mirror, single piece of silver, handsome brass candlesticks, a small clock in tambour pattern or a really lovely flower vase. Five dollars will buy silver salt and pepper shak- CTS, a mahogany tray with glass bot tom, half @ dozen sherbets glasses, a crystal syrup jug and plate or worth while piece of linen for the dining room. Half a dozen damask towels, hand hemstitched and embroidered with a monogram or initials will please any good housekeper-to-be be.

Slightly less sternly masculine is the kntcker suit of shantung pongee-but, oh, how delightfully."- cool and comfy for summer day at the country club The knfckers have graceful looseness, bagging more over the knee than the masculine knicker ever does; and the jacket with It's Tuxedo fronts is sleeve less. A tucked shirt of white hand kerchief linen, with link cuffs and turned down collar is trimmed with tiny pleated frills and the little black necktie has feminine twist. White silk stockings and white buckskin OK lords accompany the shantung suit.
 You Can Buy Linen Knickers
 Separately.
 The beginning of the end-in the inevitable merging of masculine with feminine styles into hybrid or neuter sort of raiment-is the now present possibility of buying separate knickers and combining them with any upper garment one pleases. The wearer of. the white linen knickers in the picture has been very careful. Her blouse of tucked linen, with a knotted ur-in-hand tie. her plain sailor hat, her sleeveless blazer of bright colored flannel, are all very well and quite In order with summer fashions and with conventions of dress. But it would be so easy. for a girl less restrained in taste, to add to the linen brooches a trimmed blouse or batik chiffon smock and a string of beads. Then consider the awfulness of the costume. So if you wear knickers at all, on your vacation this summer. keep the rest of your costume strictly within the bounds of convention and good taste.
 Polo Maid Wears A Mandalay
 The Indian helmet of cool white cotton cloth. melon-crowned and lined with green as protection against the sun, is a sport fad this summer. Golfers are taking to it and 1t has already been seen upon the tennis court and it is popularly called the Mandalay hat. These Indian helmets in a slightly more rounded shape than the real pith helmet worn in India have been associated with polo cos xumes for some time, and the very correct polo costume pictured shows one of these light, cool, shady hats. For the rest the costume includes ex tremely smart knickers of checked tweed, a trim. sleeveless coat showing the polo shirt of thin white silk, a mannish shirt with mannish necktie (no compromise with feminine ef- fects in polo costumeL and riding boots that meet the edge of the knicker. The polo costume is for a

HHIS is a real party!" exclaims some guest delightedly. when in
 - stead of passing cups and sand wiches to be balanced on chair-arms. you set chairs around 2 little table and provide plates and napkins and a place to put them on. The deluge of little folding tables, and gate-leg tables on the market has given an impetus to the charming custom of afternoon tea-as 1t Is served abroad. An English tea is apt to be sub stantial meal, with strawberries and cream, piles of hot scones and toast and iced cakes--and even clotted cream If you are in the country. Soft-boiled eggs are a popular dainty at a coun- try-house afternoon tea
 But in England, people are hungry at four o'clock--after outdoor sports or tramping or hunting, and with the dinner hour four hours distant-at eight o'clock. Eggs and other sub stantials would be absurd at an Amer ican afternoon tea where everybody expects to dine by six or six-thirty. Even light sandwiches and cake. how ever, are more delectable when one

 For a truly delightful tea prepare as follows: Spread your daintiest linen cloth on the small table. Place dainty plates and napkins and silver butter knives for your guests. Have little silver and glass dishes of cream cheese. jam and salted nuts on the table and 8 glass plate of butter cut Into neat squares Then bring in a plate heaped with tiny, golden brown biscuit piping hot from the oven Serve the tea with cream, sugar and lemon from tray on a side table.

The neckline is bound with narrow piping of the material or with narrow ribbon, turned over and stitched down--a tiny bow and ends at the front.
