All In the Point Of View.

Pavlowa says when her company ar
rived in Buenos Aires all the papers
were full Of their praises except lit
tie new native paper, which published
an article saying nothing else than
that ''they were surprised that the men
and women Of the company were SO
immoral"
AS Nine. Pavlowa is very particular
about her company that hurt a lot and
she quickly made inquiries as to why
so astounding statement should have
been made.

TOUCHED THEM ALL
Grim Men Of War Affected by Pa
thetic Scene.
Only the Passing Of Little Coffin on ia
Way to the Cemetery, but for
Time II Held Up Traffic In
z Channel Port.

There was some noise along the
jetty and yet more noise in the wide
and narrow streets of the town
Changing street cars, whip-cracking
fiacres, yelling newsboys, honking
taxis, and soldiers and sailors tramp
ing the pavements. Noise enough and
of the kind BETTING channel port
In war time; but for time at least
we heard the noise let down and the
hustle softened.
In wide street of shops appeared
white-haired priest with white
crucifix held high before him. Be-
hind him was another priest reading
from book of prayer. Two laymen
came next, bearing little white paint
ed table with little white coffin-a
cheap board coffin-resting on it. There
was canopy Of plain white boards
over the little coffin. There were a
few white blossoms on the canopy and
beside the coffin few lilies-of-the-val-
ley-only few.
Two other laymen followed the cof-
fin-bearers. All the men were bare
headed. Three women-young wom-
en- and young mothers to look at
followed the two men. One of the
young women was in deep black. A
group Of little girls followed the young
woman. Two very old women came
last. No more than that, walking
through crowded street at two o'clock
of bright day!
1t was on us almost before we saw
1t. Men took off their hats as it pass
ed; women blessed themselves. Some
times mems lips murmured short
prayer, always the women did. The
soldiers and sailors, when they were
French, saluted nearly always; the
British sometimes. The officers, If
anything, saluted more profoundly
than the enlisted men and. when they
did not stop dead still, held a hand
to their caps for eight or ten PAGES in
passing.
Two soldiers were talking with two
girls Of the streets. One Of the SOL
diers took off his cap. One Of the
girls stopped talking to say a little
word Of prayer. Both soldiers faced
about and all four gazed in silence for

ed on. Then the first soldier put on
his cap, all faced about and resumed
their talk, but more slowly and not
quite so loudly as before.
An English Tommy was driving
street cara swearing Tommy that
you could hear block away. He
came on the mourners from behind.
He was in hurry, and by changing his
bell he could have crowded by. But
he held the car in check, nursing 1t

en- in the rear-until they came to a
wide square. Here there was room.
He changed his bell, not too loudly,
turned on the juice, and hurried to
make up for lost time.
Men are being killed by the mill
lions over here, and other men who
have been there-these very men on
these streets-will tell you that they
hardly turn their heads to see one
more killed. But child is different
