THE COMPETITION
THE EDITOR OFFERS TWO PRIZES OF £.10 EACH, • • THE FIRST FOR AN INSCRIPTION FOR A SUNDIAL IN PROSE OR VERSE, THE SECOND FOR AN EPIGRAM ON WOMAN IN FOUR LINES OF VERSE. • THERE are now two weeks only before the competition closes : ber of entries is already huge; but, as we mentioned last week, the last coupon will be Published in next week's issite. The ntim-' the sundial inscriptions have far outnumbered the epigrants on woman, and if anyone in these two weeks should hit upon a particularly good epigram ha will be well in the running for the - prize. We suggest, then, that the most ambitious Of our com- petitors should confine themselves to this subject—unless their inspiration quite runs away with them and they are confident that they have found the world's hest sundial inscriptidn. Has woman lost her variousness ? Are we now so intimate with her nature that we take no more interest in her ? Or is it true (as a heterodox psycho-analyst recently affirmed) that men and women differ only through the impress of circumstances and not in the essence of their souls 't RULES FOR COMPETITORS
