Greyson was a woman you always wanted
to tell things to, somehow.

She said it was terrible subject for her,
as | could doubtless understand.
l said yes, of course; her sympathies
were divided.
mot at all, said she, her brows pull
ing together. "They are entirely on
the side of England" And her German
accent rolled out strongly.
She picked up the July number of one
of the big American monthlies from
table, and began to talk about story in
it, l found she read all our magazines as
well as the foreign ones.
Just then her husband came up, rest
less as usual, and they started laughing
and chatting each other, the best friends
in the world.
"Lend me your parasol, Hildegarde,"
he said coaxingly.
"And for what?' she asked

The women over there talk that way,

ooh, Welt" he laughs back, "we've all
to take our chance, you know!" And he
takes the parasol and goes off.
The following day l went over to Bern
as usual.
In the afternoon was heading for the
railroad station to go back to the hotel,
when l ran into crowd in front of the
Berner-Hof. Both sides of the street were
jammed, and through the middle marched
Swiss soldiers, regiment after regiment,
going out to guard the frontiers.
Bands played and flags waved. And
the men! Their clergy had just blessed
them and prayed over them in the big
square, and those farmers and mountain
GERS and hotel servants and shop-keepers
walked as if they'd been consecrated.
And there wasn't even cheer from
