to see very much of France yet.
There may be chance of some of
us getting leave for about five days,
which would give us chance to see
quite little.
Perhaps you may be interested to
know what our routine of work is
now. We get up at 5:45 and have
to be out for rollcall at 6. We then
have exercise for about ten minutes.
The first breakfast call is at $50
and the second breakfast comes
about 20 minutes later. We can 80
to either the first or the second. AT
7:30 is police call We all have TO
fall to and clean up various parts of
the building. This takes about 20
80 minutes. At 8 o'clock the call for
drill is sounded. This is not much
drill, instead they take the fellows
for various details. l am excused
from this as l have my job in the
X-ray department. All the fellows
who have similar jobs are excused
from this other work. At IL o'clock
is retreat call, when all work is sup
posed to stop. so that the fellows
can get ready for dinner at 1880.
At l p. NJ. work starts again and
lasts until 4, when recall is sounded,
At 4:S0 we have assembly and roll
call. Shortly after that comes sup
per. After supper we have no work
and can go down to the village or
do anything we want here. On Sat
urday afternoon and Sunday we
have no work, unless something par
ticular turns up which must De
done at once.
i am writing this letter out in the
court, sitting in the sun. The last
few days have been very pleasant,
and it certainly seems nice to be able
to sit outside and feel perfectly
warm. The trees over here do not
shed their leaves like those in the
United States. Only few of the
leaves. Well I cannot think of
the trees or bushes have shed their
leaves. Well ! cannot think of
very much to say just now, so l will
stop. With love to all,

Face WrinkIed? 5
| Complexion Sallow?|
s Then why Not Treat Your Skin
AS Beautiful French Women Do?S

Paris:-Science has discovered that
faded, mottled, aged-looking complex
ions can be virtually renewed and
made surprisingly beautiful by means
of the following recipe: Merely wash
your face with buttermilk and
rub in a teaspoonful of Creme Toka-
Ion Roseated; wipe the face and ap-
ply Poudre Petalias-a very fine COM
pleXion powder prepared especially
for shiny noses and bad compleXions
If your face is badly wrinkled, get a
box of Japanese Ice Pencils to use in
connection with the roseated cream
and you should get quick action on
even the deepest wrinkles. Thus do
famous French actresses preserve the
rare beauty of their complexions, and
If you were to pay hundreds of dol
lars for special treatment you prob
ably would not be anything like as
well off as by using this simple and
inexpensive recipe. The articles men
toned above are supplied in this city
by Gorgas, Kennedy's. Croll Keller.

DOING PARIS "

Dear Mother
] have been having a fine time the
last couple of days, for l was for
tunate to get five days leave in the
second bunch, along with two other
fellows, and the three of us have
been doing Paris since we ar
rived, just two days ago.
Paris is a great place, and l
would not mind it at all if I had to
stay here a couple weeks, provided
/ had enough money to keep me go
ing for that length of time.
The ride to Paris was very long
and tiresome, but when you are
once here, you forget all about that
The reason why l could get my
leave now, was that we needed some
new X-ray bulbs, and as they are
only obtained here in Paris, [ came
along to help carry up the old brok-
en- bulbs and take back the new
ones we expect to get here. We
are stopping at the Hotel Pavilion,
the hotel which the Y. NJ. c. A. has
taken over here. 1t is a very nice
