| Following them came British
and French troops. The Italians
regained their morale and fought
with the same spirit and determi-
nation that had characterized their
earlier efforts.
Americas declaration of war on
Austria likewise served to put
heart into the Italians and to con-
vince them of our friendship and
our determination to fight the war
to a close.

the bureaucrats at Petrograd, had
mo option but to fall back.
1t is said that no foreigner can
enter Switzerland without receiv-
ing the attention of the German
spies. The day I arrived in Berne
French journalists warned me
against leaving anything of a pri-
vate nature in my luggage at the
hotel.
German Spies" said they "un-
doubtedly have spotted you as an
American, and In their own way
they will try to find out all about
you"
That afternoon when I returned
to the hotel I carried with me a
package of French official reports.
There was nothing confidential
about them. place the package
in my bag first making a pencil
mark on the cord that would be
recognizable only to myself. This
mark l made at a point where the
cord crossed one of the end edges
of the package.
Then I left the hotel.
When returned a few hours
later everything in my room
seemed to be exactly as l had left
It.
The bag was in the same place.
The package was in the same place
in the bag.
But the mark on the cord, in
stead of being at the edge Of the
package, was on the opposite side,
midway between the two ends.
My German friends had been in.
The incident illustrates the
thoroness with which the spies
operate.

THE LILIES OF THE FIELD


 Dear Social Corner Editor: It was with exceeding pleasure that I read last week of Aunt Marys ride out across Gods country; and her recog- milton of the lilies as beautiful mes sengers of the Most High.
 How much more of joy and hope a person gets out of life who is consci- ous that everything in nature is the expression of the will of God
 Unless We have love of nature in our hearts the loveliness Of nature does not reveal itself through our senses to our soul.
 Two thousand years ago the master pointed out that the lilies, which toi1ed not, neither did they spin were in their glory more radiant than the robes of Solomon.
 And ages upon ages before that the lilies had been saying to those who could see behold how we, preach without words of purity"
 Aunt Mary did not yield to the temptation to gather them. but left them to their growth and their mini strY.
 The meanest plant has a messag ge often for the sympathetic soul; and it is never less than a divine wonder Perhaps Peggy Anne knows me, but I am ore of those untortunates who do not know all who know me.

Still I do not want the older Sisters to omit writing for our beloved Cor ner: but many perhaps have felt, like myself, not quite equal to it.

This phenomena, which was presented to our view last week was remarkable and very pleasing to those who love to watch the electric flashes, while to others it was frightful be- cause they were filled with fear

DIRECTIONS FOR TAKING LEAF
 IMPRESSIONS.

Dear Social Corner Sisters: I am sending you my way of taking the impression of a leaf; hold oil paper in the smoke of a lamp, until it becomes coated with smoke: to this you apply the leaf of which you wish an inn pression. q find warming the leaf in your hands, makes it pliable), Place the lower surface down upon the hlackened surface of the oil-paper that the numberous veins, which are so prominent on this side, may receive from the paper portion of the smoke, then lay a paper over the leaf, and press it Every gently) with the fingers, having been sure the leaf has come in contact with the smoke. Re- move the leaf carefully, and place the biackened surface on a sheet of white paper, covering the leaf with a Sthin slip of paper and pressing upon it with the fingers, as before. Sometimes use an old caster. Thus may be ob- tained the impression of a leaf in it's perfect outlines. together with per feet exhibition of it's veins which ex- tend in every direction through it more correctly than the finest draw ing. The process is So simple. and the materials so easily obtained, that almost any person can prepare beau tiful leaf impressions.
