To the Editor:
Activities during the week we're
somewhat crippled owing to the trans.
fer of men to other camps, which has
been going on for the last three weeks.
Release of this information was or
dered the other day by the military
authorities. The transfer began dur
ing the week of the Mission, which
ended Easter Sunday, and minimized
considerably the attendance.
However, at that many of the boys
before leaving took advantage Of the
opportunity to approach the Sacra-
ments and went on their way "over
there" rejoicing in the state of grace
1t has been edifying time and again to
behold so many of our boys anxious
to go to Confession and receive Holy
Communion, just before the moment of
departure. Every morning brought it's
quota of boys, even as early as 4:3O,
seeking the consolation of religion.
Such sacrifices made in the interest
of things spiritual herald victory in
going lover the top" when the supreme
moment comes.
Preparations for Active Service.
During this recent movement of men
eleven camps received increments
from the 88th Division. AS to the
total number that have gone we are
not privileged to state. Nearly every
day since the orders to dispatch SOL
diers from this division to eastern
camps were received, men have been
chosen from the different organizations
and on short notice have been advised
that they were to be transferred to
other camps. They were expeditiously
gotten ready, their service record
cards brought up to date, and under

When shall see you again, old town,
Your friendly streets to stroll;
Or watch the square on market day,
With countrywide in best array
Beneath your sky the blue of flow
ers?
Return hurt, return whole
come when vict'ry's ours.
Mother of mine, shall see thee soon.
To hold thy whitened head
Against my lips and trembling heart;
Forget the bitter days apart
And tell thee how the bravest covers
In days and nights of endless dead?
come when vict'ry's ours.
When shall see thee again, dear wife,
To meet in thy fond gaze
The sun-warm smile and heart of gold
That linked our breath and being bold;
And hear thee sing to sleeps snug
bowers
Our babe cen while he plays?-
come when vict'ry's ours.
When shall see you again, my tears?
On graves of comrades gone
Shall ever we look without a sigh,
Raise color and gun to peace-lit sky
In fields where now grim battle
lowers?-
Their tears and laurel as one
Shall fall when vict'ry's ours.

The Sieur de la Tour defied his en-
envy, but Charnise was supported by
French vessels then in the harbor, and
he Immediately laid seige to the La

greatly outnumbered the forces in the

bravely endeavored to defend hlmseH

that defeat was certain unless he Sc

Tour camp was poor in men and mu-
nitions, and he Immediately determin-
ed to attack.
He had not counted on meeting any
strong opposition. But Nine Ia Tour
was ready for the fray. Every last
gun that could be mustered was in
readiness, the cannon was manned,
and she herself stood on one OF the
bastions in full command. The bat
tie ragged during most of a day, but at
nightfall Nine. la Tour stood at her
post with her few brave men, victor

but two of the Charnise men were kill

Charnise retired discounted, and
didn't attempt to attack the fort again.
Instead, he began a. rigorous block

Nine. la Tour withstood the siege

her husbands return. But one Sun

glistens like a. morning flower. It
is draped very cunningly.
The gown is fairly tight, except for
pocket-like draperies around the
knees. The short, crushed bodice is
delicately draped across the waist, and
ends as shoulder strap. Conse-
quently there is a long, graceful line
of drapery from the left shoulder
across the bodice and down to the
bottom Of the skirt. This soft
draped effect is further emphasized
by the long sleeves of peach-colored
chiffon. They end with point, and
are weighted with silver tassel.

Diary Of a Fashion Model

Miss Singleton is one Of those flam-
ing brunettes who are constantly in
danger of being overdressed. She has
a heavy mass of wavy black hair, large
dark eyesNand naturally rudy COM
p1exion.
She is such dominant personality
herself that she can wear only the
simplest lines. Broken lines, ruffles
and furbelows, much as she secretly
likes them, arn't for her. Many times,
tempted beyond her resistance, she
has given in and has tried on ruffly
fluffy garment of many colors, hop
EGg against hope that it would look
well on her. But invariably she, her
self, has had to admit that they have
tended to cheaper her own beauty.
Madame has given it almost as a
maxim that women of radiant color
ing of eyes, skin and hair or of I'M
be encouraged in their desires for or
nate designs. Gently and dip1omati-
cally she persuades them to try on a
model with very simple lines but OBJ
viously Of fine material.
For example, when Miss Singleton
demanded an evening gown and cast
longing eyes on a spangled affair in
three colors, Madame suavely led her
to a corner where reposed a brand
new classic creation.
This is a wartime evening gown"
Madame explained, half in Jest, half
in earnest. There is an absolute
minimum of ornament, because there
is no ornament as you see. But we

woman. She was an expert with gun
