 "In public meetings" says Mme. Pelletier. "when the claim is made for women to have the right to vote, very often some will rise and shout: You wish to vote; then do your military service!'

 Whereat old Goreem chuckled silently.
 But he was not happy. His daily life had lost it's savor. He no longer enjoyed what formerly had been his pleasures. One by one he discarded every uncouth way Horace had mentioned. and he even went so far to buy his clothes in Chicago. In his eating he endeavored to reform also, but old ways are hard to mend and his cold slaw with sugar and vinegar still tasted better to him than the lettuce Horace dressed and ate with such relish.
 "If could only get something to make the darned stuff tasty, I'd be fxed!" he often muttered over his furtive efforts to eat French dressing, but the taste of oil made him actively i'll.
 Finally, one day small box arrived at his store addressed to him personally It proved to be dainty little sample bottles of some golden mixture and it was labeled Nasturtium Salad Dressing. One line in the advertisement caught the old mans eye

 Old Gorham look ed the little bottle over through his steel-rimmed specta- cles.

 He waited till he was alone that day, and then. drawing the bottle from his pocket, he very gin- gerly poured 8 little Nasturtium Salad Dressing over one leaf of lettuce: he wasn't going to risk spelling 8 plateful. He tasted it careful ly, then again. He looked around. No one was watching his fall from grace, so he boldly took heart and poured it over the plateful he had set aside in or der not to waste it.
 Ten minutes later he rang the bell, and when the maid appeared, he said:
 "Is there any more lettuce in the house?"
 "Yes. sir"
 'Then bring me all there is."
 He ate a whole head of lettuce and walked down to the store like a man who has suddenly found !, himsel1.
