HE SURE WAS UNLucKY CUss

A hardware merchant at Belfield,
Wis, says that he is the unlucl1iest
man in the state. He was selected
recently as judge in a 'prettiest
ankle contest" at charity affair.
The contestants stood behind curtain
with their ankles showing and he
declared the second from the end
possessed the most shapely ankles.
The "second from the end" turned
out to be an old sweetheart of the
merchant, and his wife got second
place whom many said should have
had first place. Friend wife left him
as a result of the contest. The
husband of the winner gave him two
black eyes in a fight. Added to this
his store burned down without any
insurance.

What appears to us to look good on
paper is a game between the local
high school girls and the Normal
femmes. Here's the dope: Williams
defeated the Flagstaff girls by a 2
point margin on the Normal court.
Williams held the Normal girls to a
10 to 10 count on their floor.
Though Normal would be favored to
win in this contest from a standpoint
of previous performances against the
local girls, this contest, in our hum
BILE opinion, would draw the large
crowd of the season. AS far as we
know, no game has been scheduled as
yet.
What the Prescott girls and boys
teams have to offer this year in bas-
ketball way will be revealed tonight
on the Normal court when these clubs
clash with. the Normalites. Prescott
lost a number of their eligible floor
men during the hazing last fall, MAX
ing it necessary for them to cancel
their gridiron schedule. The Mile
High cakers always make Normal hus-
tie, so we are really looking for a
real battle.

Being a lady's maid is real hon.

ments varied enough to occupy
genius and standards rigidly to be
upheld.
Lady's maid, in fact, has become a
position SO higly specialized that the

MADAM usually arises at about 10
o'clock. Her personal maid prepares
her bath. which is followed by rub
down. Said maid then brings mad
ans breakfast tray.
After this she selects madam's
clothes, using her own judgment
(Which is expected of her if she is
an experienced maid) as to what
suits the occasion. Madam usually
changes thrice daily and again at
dinner, and for the evening gown
later. In each instance her maid has
to he on hand to assist her.
"A good maid usually accompanies
her mistress on shopping tours. and
her advice is frequently sought in the
selection of hats, garments, etc. she
also reminds madam of the days en-
gaeements and sees that the various
toilet accessories, such as handker-
chiefs. perfumcry, rouge, and so on,
are in madam's handbag when she
goes out.

does not have a valet, she is expect

clothes also.
