Dear Brother: Just few lines to
let you know little OF how it is

else this letter, as am going to
write just what comes to my mind.
/ will start of with the morning
About s o'clock we hear bugle.
We get about from five to ten min
utes TO get up and dress, then an
other sound of the bugle calls US to
report for what is called "reyeille",
that is when we all line up for roll
call.
Then we line up again and march
TO the rear OF the camp, on the camp
streets and pick up everything on
the street-matches, straws, paper
rocks, etc-thls Is called police
work" Then We are off until break
fast.
We roll up our tents each one TAX
ing out his cot and blankets on the
street for airing, and we leave them
there for three to five hours and
then take them back.
There is a squad OF eight men in
each tent Henry Liberty and / are
together in a tent and sleep side by
side.
BY the sound Of the bugle again
we drill till about o'clock, and then
have Is minutes rest. continuing
with our drill until IL o'clock and

have to drill until $3.50 or 800. when
we have retreat" until 6. Then we
have supper and are of until 9.
"Retreat' Is when we ali line up
and stand at attention" while the
bugle and band plays THE Star
Spangled Banner" Certainly Il Is
the grandest moment Of the day.
We drill with our rifles now, and
will start target shooting tomorrow.

we noticed one fellow hadn't taken a
bath for week. So We were going
to give him squad bath, but then
the corporal told US to give him fl
teen minutes to take one, and believe
me, he took a bath, but didn't change
underwear so had to go back and
wash and change again.

one dav woman, well versed IN
the social theories OF the four mn
irons. told Mrs. Leeds that her only
salvation would be to lease or pur-
chase a great country seat, preteraolS
one with history.
The right sort of country mouse
is an excellent passport TO the hishest
social planes" sagely remarked this
intelligent woman. Then began Mrs
Leeds hunt for house whose pos
session would transport her to the So
cial plane she desired to reach.
One fine morning Mrs. Leeds
agents sent her word that the greatest
priye of a generation was within her
grasp. The magnificent Kenwood,
pride OF the grand dukes heart, was
hers II she but said the word. Mrs.
Leeds, like every woman in sooiety'
knew the clories ~ Kenwood. She
had attended a garden party there
early In the war. and she knew that
given Kenwood, she could make GER
tain ladies sit up and take notice.
The week following Mrs. Leeds

grand duke announced that his
daughter, the Countess Zia. was TO
marry Maj. Harold Augustus Wern-
her, the wealthiest commoner in Eng
land son OF the late Sir Julius Wern-
ber, owner of the richest diamond
mines In the world. ~ a conserva-

OF his fathers fortune is set at TO-
100000 pounds about S3b0.o0o.00o.
The irony of the whole thing wan

week earlier the grand duke need not
have let his estate TO the fair philis-
tine from America. But the major,
being a mere commoner, was, despite
his great wealth, too modest to ask
for the cars prettlest cousin unu'
revenues.

Michael had given up all his various
homes-he owned three in England
alone-and was living with his fami,,
in a small villa loaned him by King
George. Major Wernher approached
the grand duke and begged to be ac-
cepted as a son-in-law. Lady Werr
Der announced that IL her sons offer
was accepted, she would leave him
her share of the Wernher wealth, and
all her superb diamonds wouio ~
to the Countess Zia.
When the offer was accepted by
Michael. Lady Werhner decided that
her grandchildren and, incidentally
the former cars cousins, should be
born in the royal suite at Kenwood! !!
What mattored 1t II Mrs. Leeds had
signed a hide-bound. unbreanau.o
contract? Kenwood should be Lady
Wernhers wedding gift to her daugh-
ter-in-law. That contract was but a
scrap OF paper anyway!
Lady Wernher's lawyers ap-
preached Mrs. Leeds te&yers a".
told them how important II was that
the future babies should have the Joy
of being born in that wonderful royal
suite. They intimated that Laoy
Wernher would pay big bonus, and
that King George and Queen Mary
were personally anxious TO have Ken
wood given over to the young count

Mrs. Leeds refused firmly. Thas
royal suite. with its fabulous tapes

The week that saw her the possessor

Mrs. Leeds OF America Holds OLD

Not even Queen Alexandra Of Eng
