Ing n movie tonight, anyway"
Edna looked a little odd about It,
but hurried along after the others.
A saleswoman-the same one the
manager had assigned to Rose, under
the m~isconception which that smart
French ulster Of hers had created
when she came into the store-now
came around behind the screen TO
gather up the frocks the girls had shed.
"Will you please bring me-" said
Rose, 'the Poirct model you showed
me before the others came inf I'll

The saleswoman's name WIS diff

thing about Its being closing time.
Then, IL you'll bring It at once 80"
said Rose. And the saleswoman went
on the errand.
Five minutes later. G~albraith, from
staring gloomlly at the mOurnful heap
Of trouble Mrs. Goldsmith had left on
his hands, looked up to confront u
vision that made him gasp.
II wanted you to see IL you liked
this" said Rose.
"If I like IT," he echoed. Look
here II you knew enough to pick
out things like that, why did you let
that woman waste everybody's time
with junk like this? Why didn't you
help her out?'
II couldn't have done much" Rose
said, "even IL my Offering TO do any
thing hadn't made her angry-and /
think It would have. You see, she's
got lots Of taste, only it's bad. She
wasn't bewildered a bit. She knew
Just what she wanted. and she got IL.

The way he had unconsciously

whether they're worth making a fight

BEHIND AMERICAN LINES IN
FRANCE, Oct. IL Correspondence
of the Associated Press)-Nothing Is
real in the great American camouflage
station here. All is deception.
Huge willow trees like those in
Flanders with trunks two feet in da-
meter and a mass of sprouting
branches at the top are steel tubes
designed to hide an observer. Even
on close inspection they look like real
trees to the Associated Press cores
pondent, who visited the station and.
with the commandant. explored their
mysterious underground recesses.
They were Of plaster cloth wound
about the central steel tube and with
pieces of real bark fitted around the
trunk. A small gauze orifice. paint
ed to match the bark, was not noticed
until pointed out by the officer. This
was for the observer standing within
the steel core Of the tree.
Ten feet away the turf opened. dis
closing a passage with steps leading
to a tunnel and thence to the base OF
the tree. With light we CROPPED
through the tunnel and up into the
tree. 1t was a tight fit in this tree
trunk, but from the gauze orifice one
had a sweep of the whole nearby
country.
A huge boulder. such as one sees
along country roads, was noticed
among the trees. The big stone. five
feet high and seven across, looked
very real. and yet this, too, was cam
outage make-beileve boulder in
which an observer and machinegun
could Turk.
Examining the stone, 1t felt rather
like a big cardboard box. and gave
slightly to the pressure Of the hand.
The frame was wood, the covering
burlap. painted gray-brown, with
patches Of moss. And buried amid
the moss the canvas flap raised to
let through the nozzle of the machine
gun.
You have your own telegraph sys.
tem," was remarked on observing the
line of telegraph poles stretching
across the plain.
The commandant smiled. Those
are periscope telegraph poles" he ex.
planned.
The poles were veritable telegraph
poles, with wires strung from the
tops. just as they are seen along
country roads. But each pole was
hollow, to permit a periscope to be
raised to high observing point. while
a covered pit at the base of the pole
Accommodated the observer taking the
readings OF the periscope.
Beside the periscope poles, there
we're periscope trees. with hollow
stumps from which the observers in
strument was manipulated and the
readings made in pits below the roots
