The measured tread of countless

And-as 1 watch-the German army

The conqueror pours his legions into

A SERVICEABLE MAN

Thomas Enright, the first man in that
constantly growing casualty list, coming
from the front in France, who was killed
in the first trench raid by the Germans
on the American trench, was member
of Smiths Bible class at Fort Myer and
one of the first members of the associa-
tion at this post, When there was a tent
to so up he was there to lend a hand
He was watching for the new recruit in
the army liable to go wrong, and brought
him into the association the first moment
he could. On the march he was always
whistling when he wasn't jollying the fell

WASTE OF PENNIES
AND WASTE OF WORDS

Getting after men and officers and
inducing them to refrain from gamb-
ling and profanity before he was even
introduced to them was the stunt tried
by new secretary.
For some time a large tent has been
maintained in an isolated location by
the army Young Mems Christian AS
ISOLATION. During the temporary abb
sence of the regular secretary, Haus-
mann took his place.
The horse breakers, veterinarians.
and stable boys have but little time
during the day. but the first morning
one wandered in and asked:
Got any pennies?"
70, maybe a hundred"
We'll, I'll take them all"
The secretary looked over his box
and said that he could not let him
have that many, but perhaps he could
spare fifty or at least twenty five.
This led to a conversation which de-
veloped that the pennies were not
needed to buy postage stamps The
secretary laid his hand on the boys
shoulder saying.
.'Old top! You're just beginning this
game, and this is the best time to cut
it out"
And after a little further persuasion
there-was one soldier less in the crap
game
There was a little group Of the men
into which the secretary had been ac-
cidentally thrown. Several of the sol
diers were using unnecessarily violent
language, and to the secretary's mild
protest one Of them replied, What's
the use in talking to US? You had bet
ter set the officers higher up" So a
little later in talking to- one of the
big chiefs the secretary mentioned
the matter
The officer started in on him by
saving, so yen are the fellow who
sent us that card about swearing and
cursing You had better get after the
church members and hypocrites, and
then get after the sinners"
We'll. my friend We'll begin on
YOU. The hypocrites we have with
us always. | don't send many cards.
] talk straight to YOU
After thinking it over the officer
decided 10 be more careful Of his Ian
guage in the future
A day or two later the secretary met
the Major and said to him, Major, the
men seem to have lots Of time for part
of the day What can the Association
do for them?'
mot much time for the men" said
7 notice replied the secretary,
that they have plenty Of time to shoot
craps
at that game, and that ends it for the
over in the mess shack. after the
evening meal, the crowd had gathered
around all dressed up and nowhere to
90. Some soldier said. Come on, let's
sing some" But they had no one to
lead. Then fellow yelled, GO to it,
shorty, referring to the secretary. And
Hausmann, who is no singer, had no
more sense than to get UP and lead
the crowd in roaring songs, both pop
ular and religious.
This secretary unostentatiously
bows his head for grace even in mess
shack When the time for the regu-
Lar. secretary TO return had come, one
of the men at the mess babe the sub
stitute goodbye and said, Sorry YOU
are going, for if you had stayed here a
few days longer we would have had

Gratitude From That Poor Family

The editor of the Woman's Page
wishes to acknowledge the receipt of $2S
from kind readers interested in the poor
family mentioned on the Woman's Page.
There was ten-dollar bill. two hves
and the rest came IN two and one dol
lar bills. This money was taken to the
family and will be used to defray back
rent Most of this amount was given
anonymously, therefore the mother
wishes to offer her sincere thanks
through these columns. There We're tele-
phone calls and letters from generous
readers and a large Chestnut street store
yery kindly interested itself in the case.
I am also glad to report that the father
of these nine children has now suffl-
ciently recovered to go to work and the
family is now on the upward road. When
II was felt the case was amply provided
for the address of this family was no
longer given. Therefore wish to thank
the many kind readers who asked for u
and are perhaps wondering why they
have not received 1t. We are very CRATE
ful, indeed, for all this response.

Adventures With a Christmas Purse

Now, here is a suggestion for the friend
who has everything, whom you want to
remember, and for whose gift you'd be
willing to spend as much as $3.50 II
you only knew what in the world to buy.
MY suggestion Is branded marrons.
And what" l inquired politely Of the
pleasant young man, ARE marrons?"
''Chestnuts." he replied in a rather
superior tone. And that's what they are
-chestnuts-brandied. They come In a
good-sized glass jar and, as l said when
l started, they're $50.
Now here's most uncommon gift. ana
withal a useful one--a large fat powder
box. AS large around perhaps as a tea
cup. the box is covered with a rich shade
of blue or old rose, bedeCked with gold
lace and tiny ribbon flowers of delicate
shades. The powder is In the popular
cake form. and of course, there is a
powder puff. This is the gift for the
woman who loves the fussy little extras
for her toilet table. and 1t is we'll worth
the price, which is $1.35
Even with Christmas tree balls one
must resort to all sorts of ornaments to
help out. Candy chains. for instance,
take up a real comfortable lot of room.
And they're really most effective. Made
of colored candy beads. the chains are
hard on to two yards long, I should say,
and their price Is but five cents per chain.
Ten chains, now. at so cents, would gar
land your entire Christmas tree.

they have both been retained, in spite
