 Took complete charge of the factory every night when the day force got through.
 Though entirely new to the job, turned out more buttons each night than the factory's regular force could turn out in the daytime.
 In six days working time, completed 400, 900 membership buttons for the Connecticut Red Cross, and enough additional to supply New York. Red Cross with 100000 and some surplus.
 Only quit work when the supply of raw materials ran out.

here a few days ago frequent repeti-

of daring, dashing, omnipresent,
well-dressed, swagger and handsome
secret service agent, spending the win
ter in Florida, watching foreign dip
lomats and spies with nothing much
to do except keeping his flannel trous-
ers well creased all the time so that he
may be ready on a moments notice to
rush out from ambuscade, hop in an

enohantress to a secret rendezvous,

breaking choice between enchantress
and cold, gloomy, duty, nobly rising
