Inasmuch as our esteemed but
hardly contemporaneous friends,
The Leader, The News, The Times,
Clotheslines and The Oklahoman do
not hesitate to copy some of the
ideas which we’ve copied from oth-
ers, there can be no harm in just
once taking theirs. F*r instance
(as Stanley Heyman would say):
to the reader who identifies the stars pictured in this Gravure layom^(Hvpnfc
Gravure illustration is that of a star who is to appear next week on the sciefUH of
stage in Oklahoma City, excepting Margaret MatzenaueT and Florence Macbeth of
the Metropolitan and Chicago Opera Companies, respectively, who come here later
on concert tours.
You do not need to cut them out—simply indicate from left to right, top to bot-
tom who the stars are and if your list is the first correct (or nearest correct) one
received before Tuesday night, we’ll send you $5.00.
Write on one side of paper only and address Gravure Editor, The New Advance,
P. O. Box 777.

other women sacrifice nothing? We

ten dollar prize. The publishers of
The New Advance feel very grati-
fied with the response in “My
Child’s Brightest Saying” contest in
view of the fact that last week The
Oklahoma News announced a sim-
ilar contest. Most of The News en-
tries published thus far have been
from out of town and as their win-
ner for the week has not yet been
announced, it can not be ascer-
tained whether or not city children
are brighter than those living out
of town.
Among the other names suggested
were The Week-End, The Comet, The
Booster, The Standard, The Star Ad-

I saw a well-dressed but orderly
young boy of seeming good health
approach an elderly but shabbily-
dressed woman who had her back
turned to him.
As he neared her he took his
walking stick and brought it down
on the sweet lady’s shoulders with
n resounding whack.
She turned and said:
“Wotinell did you done that for?”

she out-grew short dresses three
years ago, Dame Fashion came
along and forced her back to short

Now with the changing style she

he was released the assistant di-

wrists of Fred Newmayer and Sam
