GREAT VARIETY OF coLoRs
Generous Range Is Provided in Spite
Of the Dyers' Difficulties Eariier
in the War.

In spite Of the Overs difficulties,
which We're many during the. earlier
period of the war, this season is pre-
vid.ng very generous and very
beautiful variety of color. But in u
general way. itmay be said that gray
and beige and tones of the sort pro
vail. although they frequently are
frightened with bits of colored en-
breidery or with garnitures Of one solt
or another to lift them out of same
ness.
Every possible kind Of simple en-
brGidery seems to be employed this
season but it is employed with reserve.
DISQUALIFICATION is tabooed. Simple
little motifs worked in worsted arc
greatly liked on wool gowns and even
on silk gowns of a simple character.
Often this work Is done in what IS
kiltwn as lazy daisy stitch, or in single
stitch, and often borders are worked
in lust the running stitch that evcrS
wcmcn can use With success. for il
requires nothing more than care ON
sure success. Color, however, must al
wsys be well chosen, for upon color
VIII depend the distinction and Tx

CHAPTER VI.
"Back Of the Line"

Our tour in the front-line trench
lasted four days, and then we We're
relieved by the - brigade.
Going down the communication
trench we were in a merry mood, al
though we were cold and wet, and
every bone in our bodies ached. 1t
makes lot of difference whether you
are "going in" or going out"
AT the end of the communication
trench, limbers were waiting on the
road for us. thought we We're going
to ride back to rest billets, but soon
found out that the only time an in
fantryman rides is when he Is
wounded and is bound for the base or
Blighty. These limbers carried our
reserve ammunition and rations. Our
march to rest biIlets was thoroughly
enjoyed by me. 1t seemed as II /
were on furlough, and was leaving be-
hind everything that was Disagree
able and horrible. Every recruit feels
this way after being relieved from the
trenches.
We marched eight kilos and then
halted in front of French estaminet.
The captain gave the order to turn
out on each side of the road and wait
his return. Pretty soon he came back
and told b company to occupy billets
III, us and 40. Billet lit was an
old stable which had previously been
occupied by COWS. About four feet in
front of the entrance was a huge ma
nure pile, and the odor from it was
anything but pleasant. Using my
flashlightI stumbled through the door.
