the JOY of finding is not always less
than the joy Of pursuit. The maid who
had been assigned to minister to our
comfort accepted her duty as n trust.
She was unbelievably short and very
sturdy. Her broad face and the
strength of her round, shapeess limbs
proclaimed the hardy bloom of the
peasant. The physical, mental and
emotional unity which comes as the
heritage of such unmlxed rustic blood
is in itself a prepOSSesSing charm. Our

She might think of a thousand serv-
Ices, her bare feet might start of an
instant across the mats to respond to
any request, but never did she sur
render one iOta of her instructive be-
lief that we, merely being men, were
only luxurious accessories for the
world to possess. She was so prim-
Ordially feminine that she inspired a
terrifying thought of the possibility Of
society being sometimes modelled after
the queendom of the bees.
She had never seen foreigner, but
she had heard much gossip of our Gus
toms. Her inquiring mind was intent
upon verifying this group as far as
possible, and she was also very curious
about our possessions. She taught us
how to hold our chOpsticks and how to
drink our soup. 4 little more noise
from our lips would show that we were

lshed.
When the beds were finally laid she

German guns and homeless old men,
women, children-well. sick, helpless

of thousands Of soldiers who have TO

American community find quickly-in
an hour twO-the $50 mattresses and
the G2O piles of straw covered with
blankets which supplemented the
benches, canteen tables and piles of
luggage as sleeping places for this
tired multitude of French refugees?
OF the crowd of unexpected guests,
many were very old, others sick, quite

sam, piles of furniture, baby carriages,
bicycles, kitchen utensils, bedding,
clothes and last but not least a number
of live goats, live chickens and pet
dogs that had to be fed and watered, |
