"a portable writing pad will prove
useful TO the person without q writ

the traveller. The beauty about
this particular writing pad Is that

First cut fifteen-inch circle from

half. laying the halves about an
inch apart. the straight or dia meter
edges facing each other. Now
cover each half with two circular
pieces OF cretonne or denim.
The space between the cut edges
will make IT possible to fold the

There has been M attempt to-day 70

are to-day immensely superior 70
those of the Champagne attack. 1t Is
admitted now that the offensive IN

provided with both guns and shells IN
enormous quantities.
After the German first line is taken
