Miss Sybil Eden's head was bound in
the flowing white cap Of the Scrvian
Red Cross and her feet still ached
from injuries received in a three hun
dred mile march through the snow
from Belgrade TO Scutari last winter.
Still she was able to look TRANQUILITY at
the crowds that swarmed past her
booth at the Allied Bazaar yesterday.
"No. don't want to shake them or
scream at them to wake up and listen
to what l know about the suffering in
Europe" she said. with a sad smile.

Paget refuse TO leave her hospital when
the enemy approached, though her hus-
band, Sir Ralph Paget, tearfully plead
ed with her. She knew the danger If
the Bulgarians captured her, but she

they needed her. When one undertakes
public responsibility one cannot drop

II was Serbian Day at the bazaar
yesterday, There were, however, pa
thetically few of the crowd who found
their way TO the modest booth where
the sad-eyed nurse, leaning on her
cane. was telling of her friends, the
Serbs.

You Americans do not know much
about us" said the little woman VINO
was trying to sell handwoven tapes,
tries, "but, oh, we are so worried
about our little country. II you could
only help"
One of the exhibits at the Serbian
booth was the permit given The Trib-.
uro spondent to take pictures OF
the French when they should arrive TO
rescue the Serbian army. They never
arrived, but the permit remains. a
touching memorial to the implicit faith
Of the Serbians in the Allies.
Verdun No Paris Key.
One visitor at the bazaar had the
shadow Of Nerdun in his eyes as h.
watched the pretty girls kissing cham
payne for 81 glass, or selling shares
in pearl necklaces. This was Emile

trenches at the bazaar Yesterday. That
was Marshal French, war dog He had
his picture painted by Prince Palco-

girls.
The bazaar men gave Marshal French

That was Young Lieutenant Williams.
He was wearing the uniform Of the
British army. and he and Marshal
French recognized each other. The big
dog stood up and put both paws on the
soldiers shoulders, licking his face and
barking for JOY.
