GIRLS HAVE BEST EAR FOR MUSIC High School Lassies Carry Off Prizes in Novel Contest. Shortridge and Technical girls carrlea c.ff the prizes offered lu the “Musical memory contest’ at Caleb Mills hall last night. The first prize of $lO, given by the Musicians’ club, was won by Miss Helen Pritchard of Shortridge. Second prize of $7.50, offered by the Matinee Muslcale. ■went to Miss Margery von Staden of Shortridge, and third prize. $5, was carried off by Miss Wilma Herrington of Technical. The silk banner, donated by the Rotary club to the winning team, went to Technical with a general average of 98.0 per cent. Each high school entered a team of ten members, who were seated on the stage with pad and pencil. The Orlopp trio chose twenty selections from a list of fifty numbers, as representative of different line 6 of music, which should be familiar to the high school students. Miss Jean Orlopp played the Tiolin, Miss Genevieve Hughel, cello, and Mrs. Clarence Coffin, piano. Seven contestants still had a perfect score at the close of the twenty pieces, so a phonograph was i started. Evidently the four contestants | who were never downed could hare continued Indefinitely, for the lot system had to be resorted to in deciding the winners. Judges in the contest were Leslie Peck, from the Musicians’ club: Mrs. Elizabeth Sharpe of the Matinee Muslcale and W. S. Mitchell, representing the Community service. Community singing was led by Mr. Birge, director of music in the public schools. E. U. Graff, superintendent of the public schools, made a short talk.

Confessions of a Bride SHE KNOWS I DON’T LIKE HER

The exquisite 3nd distinguished handwriting of Katherine Miller startled me when I turned over my morning mail, f picked the note from the others and regarded it with mixed feelings It had been written by the only human being I had ever permitted myself to hate. Was hate a boomerang which came hack to harm the thrower? I wondered as I opened the lovely gray envelope whether it might not be the first bit of ammunition In the attack of that “slnliter destiny" which Chrys had prophesied. “My dearest Jane” —ran the letter. "1 am in bed with a turned ankle. Have Just heard that you and Chrystobel are nt home and T am so anxloos to have you come over and tell me what happened In Mexico after we separated. Come to tea—this afternoon—can't you? What grand news about the rescue es your father-in-law! We all rejoice with all your family. My love as ever.—K. M.” “What’s the matter with that girl?" I asked Bob, when he came In. “She knows perfectly well that I do not like her.” Bob read the note and then drew me down upon Ills knee. “Jane, are you not a little unjust in your Judgment of Katherine?” he asked. The considerate tone of his voice angered me. The feeling wasn’t for me at all. It was for the tawny-haired tigergirl, f felt sure. “Maybe I do jump to conclusions about people," I admitted. “Maybe it's a bad habit, but I want you to know, Bob. that Vm going to keep right on trusting my Intuitions about Miss Miller 1” “My dear, there’s one thing about her yon never were told and now's the time for you to know It. Katherine Miller has more sense and more ability than most women—*” I didn’t Interrupt my husband. I simply hated the girl worse than eves, lu the estimation of all women she was a fooL But men—even my Bob—found her clever because she was such a stunning beauty! I bit my lip while Bob went on t “Bid you never suspect that Katherine had a laudable motive for that trip to Mexico?” I shrugged my shoulders. "Jane, see here! Katherine Miller was In the government secret service for month*!" “What;” I exclaimed. “She don’t know enough—” Bob tightened his arm around me. I felt like a bad child held In a tight grip while medicine was poured down Its throat. “She Is discharged now, bo T can tell you. Os course I knew about it- for months, but I wasn’t at liberty to Inform you or anybody. Before we went to Mexico, I had to see her frequently because we were working on the game ease. That spy, Berghoff, was one of her big discoveries. He thought he

Katherine Miller and I bad been discharged from the government service be fore we went to Mexico. Dnd wanted a lot of Information about the bandits who are everlastingly raiding his property down there. He knew of Katherine's record as a detective, so he asked her to go, when T went, and to get what dope she could. And she did. And it was a perfectly beautiful game, too!” “I should say it was!” I said sareagttcatly. “Katherine Miller used her beauty to make men love her. Just so that she could yet the secret Information she was after?” “Exactly! Don Manuel was her tool. Yon must admit that she knew how to take care of herself very well!” “<k> did Delilah!

The contest was very cleverely worked out by members of the club, hurdles, an obstacle race and a oneyard dash being some of the amusing contests. Pennants and shamrocks were used in decorations. YOITLL DIG WHEN ARBOR DAY COMES Celebration This Year to Be More Expensive Than Ever. The celebration of Arbor day will he more expensive than ever before this year, according to nurserymen of the city. There has been a general advance In the price of fruit trees and they are scarce at any price, according to J. A. Everett of Everett's O. K. seed store. The dry seaacn of last year caused a decline in the propagation of such trees by nurserymen and the crop was a decided failure In all parts of the country. A shortage of labor also had quite a bearing on the shortage this year. It is further aggravated by the law prohibiting importations from France and Belgium. | A decided jump in the price of gtape vines is also noted for the coining year, i due to an unprecedented demand. One- ; year Concord grape vines are now priced ! at 40 cents each and two-year Concord and Niagara vines at r>o cents. These prices are more than double those of last year. Before the war such vines, could be purchased at from 5 to 8 cents.
