The fall is now we'll on: the leaves
are turning and falling. The tints OF
autumn leaves are not nearly as gor-
geous as they are in New England.
Occasionally we have a fine day
bright, sunny and crisp.
Yesterday was such a day and we
took advantage of it and had fine
trip to Senlis. This is town about
20 miles from here and it is inter
esting because of its historical asso-
Citations. The Germans were there
last year for 10 days. The railway
station was burned as were alsQ
number of buildings along the main
street. The ruins are, there just as
when the Germans left, except that
some of the rubbish has been cleared
away. There is also handsome old
cathedral, some fine old churches, the
ruined chateau of Henry w, remains
of the old Roman walls and small
arena.
Our mode of conveyance was an
S-year-old two-cylinder noisy automo-
bile, which we engaged for 25 francs.
Our guests were Mons. Deschamps,
the young Belgian photographer, and
Miss Green, young EngllshWoman
of the office force. Passing through
the forest of Ermonouville we saw
numbers of pheasants who were
scarcely wild enough to run out OF
our way and occasionally rabbit skip
ped across the road. After seeing the
sights of Senlis, we found tiny tea
shop and fairly demolished their store
of patisserie and tarts and what we
couldn't eat brought back to Juilly for
dinner time. On our return we passed
military convoy bivouacking in the
little village of Yer. Here we saw
large numb ers of the old Paris buses
that are not now to be seen in Paris
but are giving service carrying troops
and the signs denoting their former
routes in Paris are still to be seen on
their sides. Some of the soldiers cried
out "Vice rAngle terrell" taking us
for English. One cried out wanting TO
show off his English, Good luck to
you!" ...- ..-

After our storm of September 80
now comes the lull. We are awaiting
more wounded but taking care of those
we have left. We have, of course,
some very interesting cases and it is
fine to see them improve. The sol
diers are 80 splendid! They are most
ly country boys and some quite IL
literate but they have fine spirit OF
appreciation. The dialects OF the DIFF
ferent parts of France are interesting.
The Bretons have quite different pro-
nunciation from those from the south
and one of our favorites from Beorn
whom we call Henri Quatre," is un-
derstood with difficulty even by his
comrades. Our "Granpere" is 39-my
age-yet has only few grizzly locks
around his bald pate and looks 60
years old. He has hole in his head
between his eye and mouth that you
could hide a banana in and he Is the
man wrote about who had the Sc
we're hemorrhage which necessitated
our tying his carotid artery at 5 a. m.
one day. The old chap is getting on
finely and crawls out in the park TO
sun himself when there is sunshine.
We have three Algerians left IN our
ward-handsome chaps they are, with
well-shaped heads and fine eyes. i
wouldn't care to have them after me
with a bayonet, as they say they are
perfect demons in fight. +,
We went in to Paris few days ago.
to do some shopping, among other
things to order new uniform as mine
was badly spotted with blood stains.
For our lunch we INDUCED in boun-
tiful helping of "escargots" (snails)
and found them delicious.
