him. He says he will make 15s

Now Brown is wrathy and is go

Brown makes good in the heavy

Louise Is Her standby.
She turned reluctantly to go to her
room to dress She rather dreaded TO

the club she was quite enthusiastic
about it. After several meetings 1t
didn't interest her as much and she
realized she would never play really
well She was too self conscious and
sensitive to forget herself when she
played, consequently she didn't fix her
mind on her cards.
If she and her partner lost, she telC
acutely that she was the cause. Today,
however, she was not going to play.
She had asked Louise to take her place
and to pour tea. afterward. She sighed
with relief over it. Louise was such a

ERDUN, the greatest fortress in
" France, is a little city of $4,000
people. surrounded by vine-and-
gun clad hills
Verdun is Frances repartee to Metz,
which sits across the border. not far
away, and is SO fiercely fortified that
an English sparrow has to initiate a
Hartz canary before it can get through
the lines. Verdun has sixteen large
forts and thirty small ones, each one
bristling with guns and armOred with
mite. Not a single one of these forts
has fallen so far, but this is not be-
cause they are stuffed with guns. It
is because they have been protected
with spades.
war changes all things. and it has
done away with the ancient custom of
using a fort to protect an army. Now
adays. the army goes out in front of
a fort, digs trenches and protects the
fort, while the garrison plays checkers
and dusts off the big guns The forts
of Verdun have done wonders in the
last forty years in Warding off insom
MIA from the French nation, but their
work is over
The only way to keep a fort in
good state of preservation nowadays
is to keep the enemy entirely away
from it, If the Germans get within
ten miles of Nerdun, they will begin
building concrete foundations and
getting on them guns with mouths like
the crater of VesuviUs. A little later
the forts of Ferdun would rise into
the air in a confused manner, and re-
tire from the landscape amid general
regret.
Verdun has been in the fort business
for almost two thousand years. 1t be-
longed to the Belgians 1900 years ago,
and after the Romans had captured it,
they admitted that the Belgians were
