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 to -day 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.

DEAR SIR:—
Wlhen nlakipg up the mail bag
the other night after everybody
had gone to bed, I slipped in a
couple of Limericks, rather shame-
facedly, for it seemed a silly thing
for an oldish backwoods woman to
be at, but the children found the
old letter -back I first scribbled
them on and whooped with joy to
catch Mother. They have coaxed
me to write some more and hunted
up the page containing the various
advertisements for which: limericks
were asked. .
Yours truly,
Kate Neal,
Paudash, P.O., Ont.
Thanks for your letter, which is
quite as interesting as your limer-
icks. We hope you will write again.

Dear Sir:—
I notice your Limerick Contest in

sending one. Can each person send

(Miss) Doris Taylor,

Send as many as you like, Miss
Taylor. Watch the rhyme and
rhythm.—Ed.
There is plenty of enjoyment for
the whole family if all join in the
fun of writing Limericks.
Any nationally advertised article
or service found in this or any pre=
vious issues of this paper may be
made the subject of a limerick.
One dollar will be sent for every
Limerick accepted. Give name
