In the advertising pages will be found
the coupon in the final contest, covering
the photographs from Numbers 82 to 97.
It will be the last chance to vote in this
manner for a time at least Possibly, if
our friends write to us in numbers that
they would like the contests prolonged,
it may be done after the rush of the holiday season is over and our pages are not
so crowded. As it is, we thank one and
all who have done us the courtesy of filling out and mailing a ballot in this series
of elections, and all who have sent us
photographs, whether they have been selected for reproduction or not. In gen

eral, the ones who have heard nothing
from photographs submitted have taken
it philosophically, even if they have not
been able to see that those chosen surpassed theirs. It would be strange if
they could see it always; for it has sometimes given the editors more trouble than
to be umpire at a baby show, to decide on
the monthly eight or ten to be chosen
from a bushel of others all nearly as
good.
Two bits of striking figure work, three
careful animal studies, and three wellchosen landscapes, appeal for favor this
month, and the October candidates must
not be overlooked by the voters in making their choices. May the best one
win.
