bullet-broken windows, and the tlrst
night a bomb dropped in the Indian
Camp near Roye and killed three
men.
VOLTA! for the gay side of the, pict:
ure. There is tragedy back OF II.
Every able-bodied being was carried
away by the Huns in carts, standing,
like cattle, leaving only old age, child
hood and illness behind. These were
driven out into the fields while their
homes were pillaged and burned and
their wells poisoned. Then they were
allowed to return to the still hot
ashes and told to live. How? 1t is to
such desolation that all your workers
things will 60, for we never have
enough. We go from one wrecked
hamlet to another in our canton, and
unearth these dazed, dumb creatures
from their holes, carrying every COM
fort and mortal support we can mus
ter. Their trees were cut down as
were their roses and berry bushes;
their pretty gardens boast more of a
crop of shells than anything else. The
whole region is grotesque in its utter
destruction. The Mayor of Roye,
Monsieur Mandron, owned one of the
show farms of France. He saw his
wife carried off; his thirty -four horses
taken, his splendid buildings burned,
his crops destroyed or taken. German
officers wives come in person and
steal his wife's clothing and silver.
He now lives in wooden shed in the
court of his former home; sixty-eight
years old, ruined. One of thousands.
We all send you our warmest
thanks. Tell those kind workers for
me to give and work and pity as
never before; the coming winter is
going to be tragedy, for the civilians
especially. Don't please forget them,
or us, one moment. Try. please, to
get as much money as you can to buy
supplies, over here as the Red Cross.
as things now are, say they cannot
deliver to us any supplies for some
time, as they haven't enough ships.
That is blow, and we can only
count on the generosity of American
hearts and pockets to help us through
the winter.
Sincerely and gratefully,
NINA LARRY DURYEA,
President of the Duryea War Relief,
Paris.

Between our neighbours bsckdoor
and ours there is a fence, plain. un'
painted board fence not high enough
to hide our faces when we talk cross
lots.
In this respect we have some advan'
tage over telephone " monologues
which, visual at least, must be left to
the imagination, and. am afraid, have
got some persons into the habit OF
never, looking directly at the one they
are talking to.
While speaking to you their rest
less eyes wander and their whole at
titude is that of one who wonders
what his interlocutor looks like.
The view from our back yard is not
extensive except as to stray boards,
boxes and chicken coops, but above
them arches the gentle Hawaiian sky
and every time branch of the near
by poinciana tree bobs in he breeze,
there appear choice vistas Of wooded
hills and a frolicsome, CLEAN Of sun
shine.
After all, and despite an agglomera-
ton OF things not to be tolerated III
front spaces, back yards are not en-
tirely uninviting.
They are conducive to free and nat
ural expression in language and In
clothes. A caller at the back door
does not meet with excuses OF the
stereotyped not-at-home sort.
He sees the master or mistress IN
their work-a-day dress, and If he Is a
tramp or a beggar, he may hear sin
cere and heartfelt expressions undis'
gufsed by literary euphemism.
Speaking of back yards and artistry,
there is in old Charleston a kitchen
yard so made and kept that no front
garden in the city equals it in simple
beauty. Here sit the family at even
ing, and here often they take their
meals. Yet in arrangement and tone,
the place is quite in touch with back
yard requirements; it matches the
rest. -. +,
