only going to have n social affair
wherein there will be any sign of

you what that will be. I am going
to give a party for a few chosen
guests who have eve witnessed a
day in muddy France. I'll wheel in
about six inches of mud, take put all
the windows and doors so it will be
cold and then prepare a meal of cold
bull beef, hard tack and maybe a
little o. d. water (the kind of coffee
we get s~ometimes). I'll make every
one stand under a cold water faucet
till they m all wet amd ocld and
then make them stand in line for an
hour while / play mess sergeant and
make believe l am feeding 225 other
fellows who got in at the head of the

I'll casually remark that some major

were too much in danger of being
seen. Then when the half frozen
mob finally do get their rations they
will be told that no II is allowed

bombs. Then when that is over I'll
have them sit in the mud and get a
good rest so they can hike about 10
miles at midnight and go into battle.
After the party Is over I'll settle
down and be willing to forget the
war and live happy in a civilized

A dress of white lawn that was

a charming frock with the addition
OF rose linen. A new blouse, sur

linen. with a white collar and cuffs
from the leftover lawn. The skirt
was ripped and pressed. It was
