know whether / told you about my
friends who are working as farm
hands. j met them coming back from
: competition in farm work up in
R8tlandzhire. We Travelled in tn
same ear and made them promise to
come and see me the very next time
they came 10 town. / was dying h
walk down Piccadilly arm in arm with
them in their high boots and peasant
smocks.
Well, last Sunday as We were com
ing home from a concert heard
my name called. Standing there in
from. Of me was . very pretty girl
dressed in a blue sei &c suit and wear
ing q new fall hat. She had a suit
&c in one hand and a big bunch of
pink roses, a sack Of cream puffs, AMI
a magazine, in the other. Suddenly
I remembered her. She was the farm
hand from Hertfordshire.
introduced her all round. William
Allen White and Henry Allen wer2
with Us, and Mr.. White at once invit-
ed her to join u party for supper
and a concert in the evening.
She blushed a little under her tan,
but we could see she was crazy to go,
so we went into our hotel 10 leave her
suitcase and brush up for the even
ing. The minute we were alone she
took my arm and said in a hushel
voice: "I'm engaged. 1t has all
happened since | met you the other
day. In fact, it was settled half an
hour ago. And I've just been to see
him off to his camp. He's a flying
man"
You can imagine, sis, how | felt.
The child needed a mother to confida
in. But her mother had disapproved
Of her volunteering for farm service;
said she would lose caste, that the SER
wants would not respect her, and a lot
Of other things she afterward took
back, but which kept the girl froE'
rushing right home with her great
news.
It turned out that the flying man j;
a great friend of the farmer fol
whom the girl is working in Hert-
fordshire; that he a down in his
plane one afternoon for a visit, alight
I'll in a field where she was ploughins
and all that, just like a book.
They are going to be married a
Christmas that is, if he can ge
leave - then he will go back to hi
flying in France and she will kee

has promised to come to the farm tn
very first chance he gets and the
I'm to go up with him. Isn't ]
lucky that my farm clothes are jus

ready to 20 the minute he appears"
At supper she told all about he
work. Said she was expected t
plough an acre a day and take charg
of the horses. She is at work at 81
and keeps on till dark. She like
hearing about America and said tina
she was going oyer there as soon a
the war is over.

Then, our allies represent the dennocrAcies

THE Kings Of England and italy do not
exercise any more power in their respective
Countries than does an ex-president Of the
United States here. They reign. the peo-

Mr.. Taft paid high tribute TO the pa

support Of England.
Canada alone has sent about 40o, 900 men
