Camoufaqe.

A remarkable Interpretation of the
British national characteristic reserve,
appears in the Century, entitled
Camouaage. It 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, it might be truthfully de-
scribed as thin veil drawn over great
events.
"There are endless varieties Of
camouflage, and endless uses to which
it may be put. A great white road is
concealed from the enemy's lines by
a hedge Of thinly plated twigs-camou-
flage. An observation point hidden in
the heart of a haystack-c amouflage.
A mighty gun masked by an awning
Of fshermen's nets, sprinkled with
dead leaves-camoudage. A corpse
brought in from no-man's land and re-
placed by live man, who watches
what is toward in the Huntrenches-
again camoudage. 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"
