Belgians might have had their tea
there but for the sudden interruption
of business of the only patisserie. The
English sign, "Tea Served at All
Hours" was still intact. We took it
down, and now it is heading the en-
trance to one of the sleeping trenches
mile back. AT certain points around
this village the advance lines are not
further than 200 feet from each
other, and | have seen soldiers of
both sides walk about unconcerned
without shot being fired on either
side. But in the distance one hears
from time to time the roar of the
guns.
My wanderings landed me near 4
lonely Belgian field gun, one of "75's,"
in the neighborhood of Pervyse. |
knew the officer in charge, and was
promptly invited to stay, and take pot
luck, an invitation which, needless to
say, | accepted. Somehow one seems
to be always hungry, yet one eats
more and oftener than at any other
time. His underground dwelling had
been made quite inhabitable. He in
sisted that l should take the "fau-
teuil' in the shape of the only soap
box present, while he balanced him
self on a one-leggcd piano stool.
Our meal was simple enough, but
plentiful. Dry biscuits, sardines, ap-
pies and cold coffee. Fires of any
sort, either inside or outside, are
strictly forbidden in the lines. A
smoking chimney is asking for shrap-
nel. Quite an amusing incident took
place here. The lieutenant told me
during luncheon that every time he
fired the Germans answered him in
kind, i. e., if he sent a shrapnel they
promptly sent a shrapnel back; when
he fired shell, shell whistled back.
After luncheon he illustrated his
story, and, indeed, the Germans
seemed to be in joking mood. He
fired a shrapnel and shell in turn.
A few minutes later shrapnel and
a shell whistled back over our heads.
asked for the commandant, and
expected to find him also in one of
the underground dwellings,, but | was
directed to one of the houses on the
outskirts of the village.
His offices there" | asked look
ing at the remains of what had been
little villa.
Certainly, monsieur. Follow me-"
said the little soldier.
On all sides we were surrounded
by blackened bricks and burnt wood,
fallen walls and broken furniture.
| Finally we arrived near cellar door
and the mystery was soon solved. The
commandant met me with all the cerc
mony and welcomed me as if he had
been in the library of his house in
Brussels
Il am sorry" he said in excelen,
English, "to have to receive you III
this improVised flat, but c'cst la
guerre.'
And the cellar offered certainly a
curious picture. Fourteen officers sav
around a makeshift barrel, at the
head Of whch-on a barrel-our Of
ficer had presided. We had evident
ly interrupted meal. An iron bed

KELLY'S NURSERY.
The Brattleboro daily reformer. (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1913-1955, 1915-12-17

Palmer, 1919, was tastefully trimmed
with the freshman colors, old rose and
green. \ large crepe paper parasol
ruffled with the two colors was raised
over the booth. The stock of home
made sweets was large, but quickly dis
appeared.
On the stage a postoffice was erect
ed, where all who paid postage received
a parcel post package, which upon be-
ing opened, caused much merriment.
Harold Haskell, 1916, Leroy Spiller.
1916, and Merrill Sparks, 1917. acted
as office clerks. A bean-guessing con
test IN charge of Ross Newell, 1916,
and Arthur Cutler, 1916, was of gener-
al interest. The purchase of bag of
popcorn entitled the purchaser to one
guess, the prize being the choice of one
of three articles from c. c.. Robinson S
store. The correct number of beans
in the bottle was 1870 and Guy Haw-
kins, with guess of 1414, was the win
ner, taking a handsome travelling bag.
Late in the evening the few articles
remaining unsold were disposed of bv
auction and marching was enjoyed by
the students
