n lot long ago had to make
~ a brief trip to a city far
ther south than New
York Having a few hours on my
hands, took occasion TO look up
some old friends whom l had not
seen for years But their home,
with its wide grounds about it,
which had formerly been on the
edge Of town, now stood IN a close
ly built up section-a mere oasis
in Suburgia.
For blocks had passed by prim
lawns set with tubs Of hydrangeas
and beds of scarlet salvias and
cannas. Then / came TO the old
fashioned brick dwelling, with its
white colonial pillars, and / stop
ped short, with little gasp of sur
prise, for the house seemed to rise
from sea Of kaleidoscope bloom.
There was a watt of mingled
odors, enchantingly sweet.
Here were actual flowers, any
quantity of them, not merely dec
orative plants. They flowed all
over the front lawns and billowed
into space behind the house, which
remembered as the ordinary
country town backyard, a more or
less untended grass plot set with
some scrubby fruit trees and used
principally as a place to dry the
family wash. Certainly it had
boasted no such sight as now glad
dened my eyes, wearied by the
eternal hydrangeas and scarlet
salvias.
The eldest daughter of the
house, a widow who had come back
to the sheltering roof tree to live
upon her modest competence, laid
aside her knitting and rose to
greet me as / came up the steps TO
the porch. Poor thing, life had
left her but few illusions, and she
showed 1t. For her the big gam
bIes Of existence were over. All
that stretched ahead of her was a

road thru Fort Riley, the Golden

able condition. Even at its best the

vehicles cannot pass. Since the com

The advocates of peace at any oil
price will have their numbers in
creased by the news which comes
from Paris, that our soldier boys
are being kissed by enthusiastic
French ladies. No doubt the story

to stimulate recruiting and it will
probably have that effect. Also il
teer nurses who will offer to cross
the Atlantic to take care of the
boys, to protect them against all
dangers, from shrapnel to kisses.
But the girls at home, who have
been glorying in the bravery of
their young men, will draw back
with reluctance to part when they
think of the Kansas guardsmen
marching down the Champs Elysees
with fair French maidens hanging
en- their necks The Frenchesses
have a world wide reputation for
not being slow, and young men are
scarce in France now, so it will re-
quire not only a strong conscience
but ability to run, if the loss of
hearts in Paris does not exceed all
previous records. Add this danger
to other horrors of war and there
will be many a patriotic heart in
America yearning for the dawn of
peace.-W. Y. Morgan.
