Camodflage.

A remarkable Interpretation OF the
British national characteristic reserve
appears in the Century entitled
CamouAage. 1t Is the story Of two
young people on the eve of the hus-
bands going to battle,
"For the benefit Of those who may
not be acquainted with what camou-
flage means, II might be truthfully de-
scribed as a thin veil drawn over great
events.
"There are endless varieties of
camoufage, and endless uses to which
1t may be put. A great white road Is
concealed from the enemy's lines by
a hedge Of thinly plated twigs-camou-
fage. An observation point hidden in
the heart Of haystack--cam0uilage.
A mighty gun masked by IN awning
of fshermen's nets, sprlnkled with
dead leaves--camoutlage. A corpse
brought in from nOrInan's land and re-
placed by live man, who watches
what Is toward in the Huntrenchcs-
again cam0uflage. But, perhaps, the
subtlest variety Of all Is the kind that
men and women devise TO screen their
real emotions from one another and the
world"
