Mother and Maid

A maiden in a garden swing is
surely an enhancing thing. She
wears a gown of white, mayhap.
and has a novel in her lap, her
hands are soft and lily white, and
earth affords no fairer sight. Man
views her with romantic tears,
and in his heart bewails the years
which bar him from the lovers
vow, forbidding him so sweet a
frau. And then around the house
he goes, and sees her mother
washing clothes, or hanging rags
upon the line, with aches all up
and down her spine. Her hands
look fierce, for they were boiled
as DER the tub she sadly toiled;
her face is roughed by steaming
buds, her eyes and hair are full of
suds. The stranger tears his
whiskers then and goes back
wound the house again, and sees
the maiden in the swing, charm
ing and delightful thing. "1'm
glad" he signs. that am old,
I'm gl.d my blood is running
cold, or I might fall upon my
knees. before that damsel meath
the trees. and she might softly
whisper yes-naught could be
worse than that. | guess!'

ENGLAND IS CONVERTED

Letters Received by Relatives in

by Censor.

"six of my nephews are in the army
and two more are about to enlist.
None of them had any intention OF
going into military service until the
war commenced. Our family is hardly
an exception to the rule"
This paragraph, from letter re-
Gently received by a Washington man
from a cousin living in the south OF
England. again brings out the great
change in the home life of the average
British family. That England grows
more and more to an armed camp in
compliance with Kitchener's demands
is evidenced by the writer, who goes
on to say:
England would look strange to you
now. to see nearly all the young men.
married and single, in khaki. Every
town or village is swarming with SOL
diers under training, and in the ranks
are seen the rich and the poor alike.
1t is astonishing to see the men en-
list with such enthusiasm. Here we
had $4,000 soldiers in training. and a
few weeks ago they went away to the
front"
