Award Pbizs.— K, s. Dale (Macclesfield)* • • • • Ethel, one of my Manchester " nieces," tells me that she is making a volume of hor very own, and which she will call •' The Young Picturegoer."' And very nice, too! Twelve months ago Ethel 1 onght a scrap-album with pretty covers, and into this she pastes Uncle Tim's 1 ages out out week by week ; the whole forming continuous reading matter which, she flatters me bysaying.interests her more than the other part of the paper. Ethel's idea is quite good, and carried out with neatness is bound to result in a record of great interest to any young picture patron. A few weeks ago the Editor published a photograph of a youthful reader made up as Ford fcterliug. (Since it appeared he lias l>een inundated with portraits of boys, and in some instances girls, who have tried to imitate that same popular comedian. It shows how keenly interested our young folks are in everything that !4oes into this paper, and I am thinking of running a portrait competition for my readers on similar lines. But not this week. For my next competition I am going to draw on your artistic talent in another direction. I have long since discovered that hundreds of you are really .lever at sketching and drawing. I therefore invite you to cut out the cat and mouse on the opposite page, paste it on a postcard, and sketch in some surroundings. Just draw what you like — a room, a street, a garden, a held, a cinema anything that will make a nice picture of the whole. Then address your card and post to " Cat," 18, Adam btreet, London, W.C., by Monday, June 11. For the two cleverest pictines, which will be judged according to the age of the sender, I will award Bound Volumes of Pictures, andthe Award of Merit for the next best. Now, dear boys and girls, get your scissors going around that cat, and see what you ;aa do to startle Uxcle Tim. REPLIES Name ana ■ ») mutt be rioted when teritvng.
