The SIRENS real business in life is to

the utter fncongruity OF 1t!
IL was just when the streets were
full Of war workers out for their
luncheon hour-and it completely de-
moralized the work of the govern
ment departments and big war ou-
reaus. They didn't declare holi-
day-their STATS simply took the
matter in their own hands-and quit
swarrned out into the streets, COM
msndeered every passing truck anu
motor, bought out the flag stocks

fetti-and proceeded to celebrate:

that the war was over. Germany had

sisting that the armistice had mot
been signed, that the conference
would not begin until o'clock, the
German delegates had not even
crossed the lines. 1t insisted that the
state Department gave no conhrma-
ton Of the alleged news.
But the boys could not sell those
papers. The others went like hot
cakes. The people were celebrating.
They refused to consider any sug-
gestion that they were premature.
They were drunk with excitement.
Then. Of course, came the cold gray
dawn of the morning after.
Nevertheless IL was a wonderful

About the same time Miss Margaret
Wilson was having a wonderful time
over there The news that she had
landed occasioned very little surprise
in Washington. though it was not
known outside OF her Immediate fam
Hy and a few officials that she had
started When one inquired casually
for her at the White House, the
equally casual answer was that she
was around somewhere" and again
that she had gone up to New York
"a few days ago" Which responses
were literally true. but equally CAL
culated to deceive.
Nobody paid much attention to the
fact that, while she was supposed
to be in Washington. she was not
as much in evidence as usual. Be
cause the influenza epidemic was or,
and nobody was as much in evidence

Miss Harlow is probably two or
three years younger. and has been

is president. She belongs to the same

ford-a set that has been active in all
sorts of good progressive helpful
work. and that has given two or three
most interesting and colorful balls
to raise funds for the various causes
in which they are interested.
Oh. and I almost forgot, I have a
letter from Mrs. Myron Bertman-
you remember her husband died in
France almost as soon as he got there
a year ago. leaving his bride a widow
in which she mentions the engage
ment OF Miss Mary Dawson. daughter
of Mrs. Carolyn Dawson. and sister
of Maj. Don Dawson. of the Engi-
neers-I forget which regiment-to
Commander McCready, L. S. N.
whom I don't seem to know. and
whom Mrs. Bertman does not identify
further.
Miss Dawson was one of the first
American girls to go abroad and is
now. I believe, a petty officer on duty
in England. From which l assume
that the engagement is war ro-
nance, and that she met Lieut.. Com
mander McCready "over there"
Mrs. Bertman tells me that she is
about to go over herself. She has
been accepted as canteen worker
for the Red Cross and expects to sail
within a month. Last l heard of her
she was starting a studio of vocal
instruction with Radanovitz But she
APPARENTLY has abandoned that to go
overseas. The truth is she has been
very restless person since her hus-
bands death. apparently unable to
interest herself in anything for very
long.
