Helen Agrees to Have Two Soldier

; he would act formally with the boys

Portable. Warren often did this on
purpose to punish her, when she
happened to do something without
discussing II with him hrst, and he
wished TO humble her to the dust

To My Sweetheart Soldier


and believe the worst-I looked
across the street, and even at that
moment / saw the pouter pigeon
and the nice young girl. The
pigeon was looking down, and the
girl was looking up, and am sure
the glance exchanged was such
as the cowbell wife seldom, il
ever, catches a glimpse Of. If I
were that lady l would watch out,
lest the strident tone of the cow
bell should turn to a dirgeI And
Il ask you, man to man, who
could blame the pouter pigeon7
We have organized Red Cross
work at the church, and every day
we roll bandages and make surgi-
cal dressings. Because am your
wife l have been put in charge.
They take for granted that my fin
gers are nimble and my brain
capable, just because am married
to a soldier-and my heart is so
wholly given to the cause. Many
fine women meet there-most Of
them so earnest. Two or three
times my Frederika has crcpt
in and done SO capably whatever
came to her hand. l love my Fred
erickal She has taught me many
lessons. Her sad face never
changes, but the sweetness Of her
spirit is undimmed. She seems to
accept with a great calm her share
Of the worlds sorrow.
Christian always comes for her
at the edge of the day-and she
leans on his arm and looks up at
him, and he looks down at her, and
they commune together in that
beautiful silence which is SO much
more satisfying than speech.
Sometimes the children come
into the church to practice, and we
stay very still then; the shrill, high
voices ring out in their childish
songs, and our hands pause, and
sometimes we brush away a tear!
Can you see US, beloved, working,
hoping, praying? Every one Of US
has some one dear and longed for
either gone or going-but there
is no husband but mine.

SEVENTEENTH LETTER.

Dearest: The cowbell neigh
Dor has been to call! At least,
she walked home from Red Cross
work with me, and just naturally
came in l don't believe / could
have asked her in, but / sum-
moned to my aid all the good man.
ners that I'm supposed TO have in
herited from my Puritan ances-
tors, and finally asked her to sit
down, after she was once inside.
You have a very honest wife, be-
loved-she either hates or she
doesn't, and she makes no bones
about either, but it is honesty
and honor, and good report, and
bravery and loyalty that she likes,
and it is deceit and hypocrisy and
malice and selfshness and gossip
and untruth that she doesn't like.
Can you guess which class claims
my neighbor of the cowbell?
The general was sitting with
my two ladies Swhen we came in.
After proper introductions, I
could see the aristocratic blood in
our mothers veins stiffen at the
appraising, calculating glance
that the "cowbelp threw around
as she talked. The general closed
one of his eyes for a fraction Of a
second and drew down his mouth,
but beyond that indirect method
of communicating his thoughts,
he was as one deaf and dumb to
the "cowbelPs" chatter. l be-
lieve there are some women who
think their sheer sex has given
them all the advantages of genius
such is she! She has managed
to rear a structure of wholly in
correct information on every sub
ject under the sun-and her init
mate gossip Of the village makes
one shudder. But how can one
