LITERARY CONTEST BANK-NIGHT Continued And Lizzie, who pretended not to rake the hint, answered: Yes, that's why I'm doing the washing today. But you never can tell, spring weather's so changeable. Later on in the afternoon, the old man had followed Lizzie to the back yard where she was gathering in her clothes. Say, Lizzie,', he said, wrinkling 'his brow, Do ya, know what ya' did with the picture show page of the paper? I wanta' see what's up to the Paramount tonightf' On being informed that his son had rake h n t e paper to work with him, the old man retreated into the houseiin a dejected manner, but with hope still springing in his breast. E Now, it was different. With only a few minutes left, he could not afford to beat around the bush, and so he approached the table where Lizzie was scraping up the dinner dishes. I Lizzie, he said If you'll let me h ' fi p , ave just fteen cents, Iill scrub the kitchen and clean the pantry for ya' tomorrow.

LITERARY CONTEST BANK-NIGHT Continued screen. Then, coming to a realization of the present, the old man stood up and clapped faster and louder than the rest of the spectators even though he didn,t know what had happened in the story. He wasn't quite so exuberant, however, when he emerged from the show with the rest of the crowd. He still remembered the manager's words when he announced the winner: . Mrs. Minnie McCarthy-is Mrs. Minnie McCarthy present? Will she please step forward? And the little old man down in front had turned around in his seat and looked and waited, but Minnie didnit step forward and the manager finally had declared the contest closed for the night. Next week S550 would be given the winner. But that wouldn't help any because daughter-in-law had told the little old man that he could not come again and as he thought of her words, a big tear rolled down his cheek and he turned up Penny Street in the dark. 8:30 o'clock the succeeding Saturday night still found the old man using his same strategic methods on his daughter-in-law, Lizzie, in order that he might attend bank-night. He had launched his campaign early that morning with: Well, Lizzie, here ,tis Saturday again. Sure is a purty day-I'll bet it'll be nice tonight. C07lfi111l6'!I, on next page 14 lga., .4 1 5

It is always held at Uncle John and Aunt Martha Reyburn's because they have the largest house. After a great deal of correspondence, hours of planning on the tele- phone, and arguments about where the out-of-town relatives will sta arran em y, g ents are Hnally made, and the day of the gathering arrives. At six o'clock in the evening, the large white frame house is in readiness for the occasion. In the dining room the table is stretched to great length and laid with a snowy-white cloth. The cut glass chandelier reflects tiny gems of red, blue, and yellow, and the centerpiece of yellow jonquils and white narcissus is from Aunt Martha's garden. Some of the nieces and nephews have been helping with preparations during the afternoon, and are anxiously awaiting the rest of the crowd. Soon the cars roll up, and young and old pour into the house. Each aunt has her arms loaded with casseroles and dishes, for at our reunions each aunt contributes toward the feast with her special Confimzerl 011 next page 17
