Tribute From Egnlish Women.
Then it was over, l waited in my
seat little while to get myself to-
gether bit and an English woman
who had been sitting next me silent
and very quiet all the time until it
came to the great columns of men
marching through Paris, when she
also clapped and shouted, turned to
me and said: "Please forgive me,
but l want to tell you how much we
think of this, we English. We are
looking to your men for everything
now"
We passed out together and

The Englishwoman looked quietly at
me for an instant and said very
slowly: There comes a time when

that you never reach that point

to send birthday greetings; and final
