Moreover, it is very much "the thing"
at the moment, and IL its popularity

will have TO look to their laurels.
The "Club de Vingt," which was
originally a New York organization,
was imported to Washington last
winter under Mrs. Hawkesworth's
management. and with the very
smartest patronage-the New Workers
now resident here were particularly
interested in its success-and tea and
supper dances used to be given twice
a week. Now. however. the club has
taken over the old hotel at Cabin John
Bridge. refurbished il a Bit, put in
little tables. Shaded candles. quaint
lanterns, and all the paraphernalia to
make IL attractive. and II Is open
every afternoon and evening.
Afternoon tea, dinner. and supper
are served daily. with a cold buffet
luncheon on Sunday. and there is
music for dancing by the well-known
club de Vingt Orchestra OF New
York. The place is open to the pub

rooms, and wide, shady piazZas re-

CHAPTER XXI.

Punlshments and Machine-Gun Stunts.
Soon after my arrival in France; In
fact. from my enlistment, had found
that in the British army discipline is
very strict. One has to be very care
full In order to stay on the narrow path
of government virtue.
There are about seven million ways
Of breaking the kings regulations; to
keep one you have to break another.
The worst punishment is death by Q
firing squad, or "up against the wall"
as Tommy calls 1t.
This Is for desertion, cowardice, mu-
tiny, giving information to the enemy,
looting, rape, robbing the dead, forcing
safeguard, striking superior, etc.
Then comes the punishment OF sixty
four days in the front-line trench with
out relief. During this time you have
to engage In all raids, working parties
in No Mans Land, and every hazardous
undertaking that comes along. 1t you
live through the sixty-four days you
are indeed lucky.
