' ... ... May 13 Ettie Lafranchi ... ... May 20. ■ . i George Stewart ... ... May 27 An impression seems to prevail that those who forward letters must not vote, and consequently the number of votes recorded is considerably restricted. This ia not bo ; all little folks are invited tojvote, and those who send letters for publication may enclose their voting papers in the same envelope. Several little folks havo sent votes for the writer of a letter which appeared in the Witness of the 20fch May on coupon No. 6 (May 27). Of course,thiß is not allowable,' as the best letter must -be decided by votes on the coupon which appears in the same issue as the letter. Several others sent in their votes too late.
