LONDON. July 9.-One of the Irish
Guards, who was a clerk in a govern
ment office in Dublin when the war
began, writes home the following ac-
count of his thrilling experiences:
Our platoon officer then told our
section commanders that we were to
push on that night and take a farm
house at the point of the bayonet.
We advanced and soon came under
shell fire before reaching trenches.

firing through one of them. We hearo
a shell coming like an express train
and ducked close near the sandbags.
but the next moment | found myself
buried in the bottom of the trench and
another fellow on top of me. The
shell had struck the parapet, but did
not explode. If il had-welI. / would
have been in little bits.
However there was no use in think
ing over things so on we went. and
then crossed our own trenches and
made for the Germans, which we
found in a state of ruin, with plenty of
dead Huns lying about and everything
showing what hurried departure
had been made.
We made some prisoners, but left
the trenches again behind and ad-
Vanced in open formation.

at us. and soon the lads began to fall

and had to wade through filthy water

So for a while we had to be in the
open until we got the order TO die
ourselves in. We did so for a couple
Of hours. and then got ready TO ad-
vance again. 1t had been raining al
tho tine. so we wer soaked through.
THE order was countermanded, and
again we began to dig right up 10

Lace assumes more and more an i'm

Among other things, pianos and
windows are draped with lace.
The renaissance combines with lace
OF quite modern origin. And combin-

denotes a remarkable revival In this

Another revival besides It and max

A hot fermentation Is the very best
OF all remedies for a really bad "tum-

ever the cause OF the upset it can do no
harm.
Put the small patient to bed and
give a dose OF castor oil.
Take two yards Of flannel, a large
square Of oil silk and some wadding.
Cut the flannel In half and tear one
Of the pieces into two strips, joining
up the ends to make a long, wide
bandage.
Place a towel across a large basin
and put the whole yard OF flannel, fold
ed in three, into the towel and pour on
boiling water.
Get some one to take one end OF the
towel, wiring as dry as possible, lift out
the flannel, hold to the air for a mo-
ment to cool down slightly, then slowly
drop It on to the little sufferers abdo-
men; not too quickly. as it may be too
hot to bear; put layer OF cotton wool
on top. cover with the oil silk and
quickly bandage round and round with
the long strip OF flannel
This will probably very quickly re-
lieve the pain. II can remain on till
the morning unless the pain contin-
ues, when another one should be ap-
Piled, but great care must be taken
not to let the little one get a chill.

may apply a hot water bottle.
