A SPLENDID COMPETITION.

WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO.

ABOVE appears the fourth of the series of five blocks of anima's’ bodies. * Next Wednesday the fourth of the five blocks of the heads will appear. Publication will follow—bodies on Saturdays, heads on Wednesdays—until the full number of one hundred has appeared. What you have to do is to decide which are the correct heads for the various bodies. Bear in mind that you DO NOT HAVE TO NAME THEM. Vou saw at the lion’s head (No. 7) belonged to the lion’s body (No. 10), and you will be sure to find some others. Then perhaps mother and father might give you just a little help when you are in d fficulties. Next week, when more hea,ds and bodies appear, you will be able to find others, and if you cut the pictures out of the paper and keep them until the last appeals by then you will be able to find a head for every body. Follow the specimen given in the paper, and make out your list. The closing date of the competition will be announced later. If there is any thing you do not understand, write to “ EVANGELINE, ’ and your question will be answered in the “ INQUIRY ” column as soon as possible. It must be understood that the heads do not exactly fit the bodies, but can be pieced together by general appearances. Another point to remember is that the correrponding h«ad~ for the bodies in this week are not necessarily to be found in the block of heads appearing next week. For every head and body correctly joined ten marks will be given, and for every one wrong five marks will be deducted.
