FIVE CENTS
WAS TREAT FOR DAN CUPID
Contestants in Archery Party Demolish
Theories, But Hot Targets
A Merry Evening for All it Was,
However, Willi Only Difficulty
Award of Prizes
certainly were
IT WAS apparent to
even the most casual
observer that the group
gathered for Friday
evening's Archery Party
at The Holly Inn were
"golfers ;" the term be
ing applied merely as a
figure of speech. They
not archers,' and Dan
Cupid who spends a fair share of his
time heie, chuckled merrily high up in a
hidden corner of the rafters, content for
the time being, to lay bow and quiver
aside.
When the heart target was first placed
in position and the bows strung
the group seemed rather shy, but
this suddenly disappeared when the
first contestant "sliced" on the first
try, "pulled" on the second, and "topped"
on the third. "Certainly I can do as
well as that", was a thought so universal
that it became audible !
Number two "teed too low,""dubbed"
and "missed" and number three .fared
little better. After that the success of
the evening was assured and entries
poured in faster than the committee
could record them.
"You don't hold the bow right; it's
this way," commented number four,
with confidence, posing as if for a forty
yard dash, but it was sl form; fine for
the forty-yard, but useless in archery.
"What did I tell you," remarked num
ber five in the attitude of Audobon study
ing a hawk's nest, and which also failed
to solve the problem. '
"If you'll just watch me," commented
a Diana in Victory pose, "you'll
find it simple enough," but three shots
failed to demonstrate the truth of the
assertion, and down through the long
list, numbering fully fifty, it was a case
of demolishing theories, but not targets,
and the music hall will echo with
"why's" for many a day.
The possible score its a shame to
state it was fifteen hundred, three in
the heart or gold. The next ring counted
three hundred and the last,one hundred;
but if the paper outside had been wealth
untold it would, apparently, have escaped
unclaimed. There were six prizes,
however, and to award all of them was
the problem. Jut how this was accom
plished in view of the many "ties" at
"o" or "oh !" is still a mystery. Master H.
Carter, Mr. F. G. P. barnes and Mr.F. 11.
Wing led the men, and Miss Bernadette
Herman, Mrs. Mason Evans and Mrs.
William West, the women ; not with thfi
possible fifteen hundred, but in some
cases, with as many as three hundred !
Others participating were : Mrs. Frank
Tyler, Mrs. Daisy Porter, Mrs. F. G. P.
Barnes, Mrs. Frank Wight, Mrs. A. A.
Corey, Jr., and the Misses Myra B.
Helmer, Delia Wolf, Adaline Corey,
Mary Fownes, Helen Brown, Eunice
Evans and the Messrs. Frank L. Tyler,
A. J. Woodward, H. C. Fownes, Judge

"Advertisement Party"by suddenly awak
ing to the fact that he had been reading
them himself ! In a word the cosmopoli
tan throng upon the floor impersonating
popular "displays", proved old friends to
whom he hastened to extend his apolo
gies, and thus a pet expression was rele
gated to oblivion and modern publicity
given just recognition. Banzai !
For once, however, rate cards were
"cut", "preferred positions" thrown in,
with no charge for "reproduction in
colors" ; the edition limited, but classy ;
every copy reaching not one, but, many
buyers ! After profound deliberation the
judges awarded the "cover page" to Mr.
J. V. Hurd and Mrs. William West as
the "Far East" full page travel advt.

"I FELT AS SAFE AS IF SITTING UPON A SHELTERED BALCONY"
PrestleyS. Maclaugiilin, M. F. O'Con
nell, F. R. Wing, N. S. Hurd, Frank
Dillon, L. S. Brown, J. V. Hurd, L. D.
Pierce and Dr. H. C. Perkins.
Not only dear little Dan Cupid, but
the participants, enjoyed the evening for
"hope springs eternal in the human
breast", and like the short putt which
always costs the match, the game we
see when riding, or the big fish we lose,
there still remains the ideal without
which we cease to exist.

Nevertheless Advertisement Party at
Holly Inn Fulfils a Two-fold Mission
The individual, editorially we might
say pusson, laboring under the delusion
that "nobody reads the advertisements"
found a surprise in store at The Holly Inn
"Aunt Jemina's pancake flour", and Mr.
F. G. P. Barnes as the "Cream of Wheat
Chef", with "preferred positions" for
Mrs. Barnes as "Korn Karo Syrup", Miss
Lucile Wolf as the "Hanson-Jenks
girl", and Mr. J. E. Pushee as the
"Boston Globe man" of largest cir
culation. On other pages were many old friends :
Miss Bernadette Herman, as the "Dutch
Cleanser" girl ; Mrs. Frank Wight as
"Heinz's 57 Varieties" ; Mr. N. S. Hurd
and Miss Ethel Check, as "Baker's
Chocolate" ; Mrs. C. S. Waterhouse, as
"Poland Water" ; Mr. Mason Evans, as
" Arm and Hammer Brand" soda ; Mr.
C. G. Taylor, as "Taylor's Rye", Dr. II.
C. Perkins,as "Wilson's ; that's all" ; Miss
Helen Brown, as "Onyx Hoisery ;" little
Adaline Corey, as "Jap-a-lac"; "little
Betty Fownes, as "Pinehurst"; little

PINEHURST FROM THE SKY
Charles Evans, Jr., Draws Dainty Pen
Picture of Aeroplane Flight
Carolina the Ifoah's Ark of Childhood
and Villas: Exquisite Bas-relief
In Monotone
CHARLES Evans, Jr.,
writes interestingly of
his recent aeroplane
flight here ; a dainty pen
picture of Pinhurst
from the sky :
Before my ascent I im-
Jagined the most acute
feeling, on leaving my
old friend, the earth, would be fear;
the shuddering, awesome, sort of fear
which assails a boy when passing a ceme
tery on a dark night. On the con
trary, as we rose into the air, hover
ing gently as it seemed above the pine
woods, a profound sensation of security
erne over me, and while the rush of
air was tremendous and the revolu
tions of the high-power motor deafening,
I felt as safe as If sitting upon a sheltered
balcony.'
The world we were leaving became
very small ; a strange little toy world.
The great Carolina hotel, was the Noah's
Ark of my childhood, the crowd of
people, except for the white dresses of
the ladies, a regiment of toy soldiers and
the tall pines, tiny, artificial trees such
as the Germans send us.
The Village itself was an exquisite
bas-relief in monotone and sparkling pin
points, the golf links, a beautiful stretch
of soft green, with strange square inserts
to mark the putting greens, and the
winding roads, silver ribbons ; with the
surrounding landscape stretching on and
on, like the ocean, to infinity ; every
note of color with its value and in per
fect harmony with the whole.
