limerick today the interest in this contest is growing steadily and a great many people are gaining pleasure and profit from this entertaining pastime numerous entries however are com ing in which have to be discarded because they are not in limerick form some prizes have been awarded where the verses did not fully measure up to requirements but were considered worthy of recognition now that every one has had an opportunity to learn exactly what is wanted prizes will be given only where the necessary requirements are fully met a little humor helps a great deal and is nicely illustrated in the contributions of mrs hurst and mrs mcneil the first limericks published today are placed at the head of the list for two reasons first because they come from two members of the same family and second because they demonstrate very well just what a limerick is note the rythm of these two examples here is a good one salada tea there was a young grocer in blen- there buckleys mixture s a cough

lal- lands he waved his left hand ert go on with the story bill was silent wondering how to put in words thoughts which had never formed themselves very defin itely in his own mind seeing his hesitation antony said i ought to have warned you that nothing that you say will be taken i down by the reporters so you neednt bother about a split infinitive or two talk about anything you like how you like well mark fancies himself at ar ranging things he arranges things and its understood that the guests fall in with the arrangement arranging things for you yes of course its a delightful house and opportunities for every game or sport thats ever been in vented but with it all tony theres a faint sort of feeling that well youve got to do as youre told how do you mean hes a devil for taking offense that miss norns did you see her shes done for herself i dont mind betting what you like that she never comes here again why bill laughed to himself we were all in it really at least betty and i were theres supposed to be a ghost attached to the house iadv anne patten ever heard of her never mark told us about her at dinner one night he rather liked the idea of there being a ghost in his house you know except that he doesnt be lieve in ghosts i think he wanted all of us to believe in her and yet he was annoyed with betty and mrs calladine for believing in ghosts at all rum chap well anyhow miss norris shes an actress some actress too dressed up as the ghost and played the fool a bit and poor mark was frightened out of his life just for a moment you know where did the ghost appear down by the bowlinggreen thats supposed to be its haunts you know was marl very angry afterward yes bulked for a whole day he got over it he generally does hes just like a child thats really it tony hes like a child in some ways as a matter of fact he was unusually bucked with himself this morning is he generally in form lies quite good company know if you take him the right way hes rather vain and childish well like ive been telling you and self- important but quite amusing in his way and bill broke off suddenly i soy you know it really is the limit talking about your host like this dont think of him as your host think of him as a suspected murderer with a warrant out against him oh but thats all rot you know its the fact bill yes but 1 mean he didnt do it ile wouldnt murder anybody its a funny thing to say but well hes not big enough for it suppose it was an accident as cayley says would he lose his head 0j run away bill considered for a moment yes i really think he might you know he nearly ran away when he rn the ghost what indeed said antony and to bills great disappointment they talked of books and politics during the meal cayley made an excuse for leaving them as soon as their cigars were alight he had business to attend to as was natural bill would look after his friend bill was only too willing lets go outside suggested an tony i want to talk to you good man what

surrounded it except and asking her if shes been to any theatres lately he nearly always had something to do mark kept him busy yes mark never seemed quite happy unless he had cayley doing something for him lie was quite n the one place where the path went forward yes it hides itself very nicely said antony where do they keep the bowls in a sort of summerhouse place bound here they walked along the edge of the green until they came to it a low wcoden bunk which had been built into one wall of the ditch they finished their circuit of the green- just in case anybodys in the ditch said antony

now and had a look at them some were outside and some inside and there you are it makes it muchlcss exciting when you were talking about it on the lawn i really got quite keen on the idea of tho key being outside and mark taking it in with him its going to be exciting enough said antony mildly as he transferred wending book markers celluloid book markers which have the numbered ends broken off may easily be mended by cutting gummed tape strips two inches long and the same width as the celluloid strip and folding the two ends of the tape to gether witli the gummed surface in side moisten the gum and let it partially dry until it becomes quite adhesive as it will not hold if too moist then place the broken ends in side the fold allowing enough of the folded tape to extend out as long as the original length and hold the parts together firmly for a few moments until it has alhered firmly to the cel luloid when thoroughly dry mark the missing number on the end with pen and ink for the ends which lace with elas tic cord when mended in the same manner a hole may be made with an ordinary paper punch this method of mending is particularly fine for reading rooms where many sets of markers have strenuous use porch chairs in the house at the end of the summer garden and piazza chairs that show wear and are sometimes discarded can often be rejuvenated for bedroom use bright with new paint and gay covering the first thing is to sent thoroughly and smooth the woodwork giving at the same time a vigorous shampoo of soapsuds to the fabric part of the chair which is sometimes strong eno iki o serve as the found ation for a new covering the next thing is to paint the framework in some color to correspond with the cre tonne to bo used for the new cover sometimes a glossy black is more ef fective than a gaycolored frame or a mahogany finish is good choice tho new cover will last longer if not at tached to the framework but simply tacked to the former fabric as the position can then be shifted so that wear and tear do not come always on the same place a small holster- shaped pillow of the new covering is a pretty addition to hang over one side of the back and a generoussized floor cushion gives delightful charm and completes the ensemble an ex tension chair of the deck or steam er type can easily he transformed into an attractive and comfortable chaise
