genue shape the cloche whose drs
youthful face
brothers, but one of the young girls
is in a very unhappy state today
when the only soldier for whom she
can wear a star is just her brother.
1t is almost as bad as going to a dance
with ones own brother, of course for
getting if you can the expression he
wears when he has to dance more
than once with you or when you don't
care to have many dances with the
man who brought the girl whom
brother considers the belle of the
ball." Anyway the stars most of them
are wearing are not for their brothers
so it will not be necessary for you to
ask them and thus put yourself in
their estimation as thoughtless. tact
pretends to know about peoples af-
fairs and hasn't heard of the most in
teresting case of all.
Yours truly,
AGATHA.

The chaplain and the A. d. C,
Called on the f. NJ. NJ.
| But all were playing game of stud,
So they had no time for them.
They went on down to the A. R. c.,
In the hospital by the river,
There to find an n. c. o. and r. A. N.
just starting out in flivver.
They Immediately called the cruel l. G.
AS well as the legal J. A:
I'VE want this man c. NJ. at once.
And fined to lest his pay.
But that won't do" the ]. A. said.
And confirmed by the cruel /. G.;
For the R. A. N. and the N. c. o.
Must live well We
Just as you say" said the religious one
Il suppose they must have their go,
But I'm going to tell the U. S. R.,
And later the B. L. o."
| The c. G. called his orderly
..rf 41d ids said q = with dna wicked @ grin; dn;,.
Don't dare to let him in.
For know he'll ask for new R. R.
Or fence for the old R. s.,
And as know little about it
1 don't want to have to confess"
The s. G. R. and the greasy K.
Stopped in at the Y. NJ C. A
The secretary. with a wicked smile,
Asked what they'd have today.
| 1--WE have eggs and we have coffee,
Or perhaps some cheese will do,
And If you'll say you'll come again.
We may find some ham for you.''
| mo. thank. you" said the s. q. S.,
AS he thought of the F. c. r.
Lets go up to the officers club
| Where at least they have a bar
The R. T. c. they found there,
As well as the A. s. s..
And the c. o. s. and the B. K,
Engaged in game of chess

With the American Army in Eng
| 1and.-When the American army re-
turns to the United States there will
go with it, or at about that time,
| many women who, tho British born,
| have become American citizens. They
have maj ried American soldiers and

will be followed by many others. Mar
riage of men while in service is not
regarded with favor either by the war
department or by officers at headquar-
| ters in England, but consent to wed
ding has been given in more than one
camp. So far, the marriages have
been between the English girls and
the enlisted meh. and in some cases
| the bride has worn the uniform OF
| one of the many women's auxiliary
corps of the British army. In such
cases the girl has continued in the
service of her country and the good
byes when orders have come for NOV
| ing have included the expression OF
the hope that they may "see each
/ other in France"
