FOREWORD


"0ver the Top" is a true
story of trench warfare on
the French front, written by
an American soldier who
got into the great war two
years ahead Of his country.
Sergeant Empey tells what
the fighting men have done
and how they have done it.
He knows because he was
one of them. His expert
ences are grim, but they are
thrilling, and they are light
ened by a delightful touch Of
humor.

OLD DREAMS.

There are two things that will re-
vive a woman's zest In life no matter
what conditions surround her. One Is
love affair. The other is the making
OF new home.
Edith Ferroll, oppressed with the
fear that Fortunes sudden smile would
not last, obsessed with the habit OF
economy, went gloomily over to look
at the house her husband had rented.
She left it feeling as gay as q girl to
whom life has just opened its golden
gates.
The mere sight of the broad lawn
made her breathe more freely. The
garden full Of neglected rose bushes,
the lovely blossoms wasting their
sweetness in the sunny, deserted ST.

ton and made her long to tidy things
up and make paradise Of rest and
brightness there. The well-planted
vegetable lot near the kitchen door
thrilled her housewifely soul.
And inside the house.! Edith
walked from room to room with beat
ing heart. II she had made cosy
home Of their little twenty-five dollar
shack in the hollow, what could she
not do with this ample house on its
sunshiny hilltop? Her imagination
awoke and leaped and raced along.
