1t is nothing uncommon to hear grin

A certain Y. M. G. A. cafe in France
run by DR.. Charles Park Of Santa Bar
bara, Cal, was crowded the other day
when an American sergeant slipped in
to a place at one of the tables. Ser.
geants are no particular novelty in
France, and this one was little differ
ent from the others. The only thing
about him uncommon to the place was
that he had not shaved for three or
four days, besides which he was but
toned up in o sort of boy scout 8 uni
form that looked as if he had slept in
'itduring a fortnight 5 tour of duty at
the front. In France, however, one
pays no attention to things like that;
and the Y. M. G. A. worker waiting on
the table hardly gave the sergeant a
glance.
"What'n you have, eggsl" asked
teh waiter; and the sergeant gazed at
him, his jaw aggressive.
Yeh don't know me, do you2" he
gr0wled, cor don't you want tot"
Then loud, indignant sniff escaped
him. 'Yeh don't know me; and I'm
the only New York critic that said a
kind word about your last rotten

'cott the dramatic critic of the New
York Times. The Y. M. G. A. worker
waiting on him was Macmillan Fos-
ter the writer for the Saturday Even
ing Post.
