For the young woman who wants
something simple, yet not too de-
mure, this model in dark blue crepe
Georgette is attractive. 1t is in the
handsome type of slightly extreme
model that one finds in the most ex.
elusive shops. There is a suggestion
of the military in the trimming, but

though l noticed that it failed to at
tract the Belgians.
Sausages as Magnets
/ have a considerable streak of
curiosity in me, and l couldn't help
wondering what it could be in that
window which almost without excep-
ton seemed to interest German SOL
diers but failed to hold the Belgians,
and after conjuring my brains for a
while on the problem, | came to the
conclusion that the shop must have
been a bookshop and the window
contained German magazines, which,
naturally enough, woulf be of the
greatest interest to the Germans but
of none to the Belgians.
At any rate, l resolved that as soon
as night came | would go out and in
vestigate the window. When | got
the answer l laughed so loud that |
was afraid for the moment / must
have attracted the attention of the
neighbors, but | couldn't help it.
The window was filled with huge
quantities of sausage! The store
was a butcher shop and one of the
principal things they sold, apparent
ly, was sausage. The display they
made, although it consisted merely
of quantities of sausages piled inFhe
windows. certainly had plenty of
pulling" power. 1t pulled" nine
Germans out of ten out of their
course and indirectly pulled" me
right across the street!
The idea of those Germans being
so interested in that window display
as to stand in front of the window
for two, three or four minutes at a
time, however, certainly seemed fun
ny to me, and when | got back to the
house / sat at the keyhole again and
found just as much interest as be-
fore in watching the Germans stop
in their tracks when they reached
the window. even though | was now
aware of what the attraction was.

ing these days was catching flies. !
would catch a fly, put him in a
spiders web (there were plenty of
them in the old house, and sit down
for the spider to come down and get
| him. But always | pictured myself in
the same predicament and rescued
the fly just as the spider was about
- grab him.
Several times when things were
uull L was tempted TO see the Tragedy
through, but perhaps the same provi-
dence that guided me safely through
all perils was guarding, too, the des-
tiny of those flies, for l always
weakened and the flies never did
suffer from my lust for amusement.
The house was we'll supplied with
| books-in fact, one of the choicest
libraries l think l ever saw-but
they were all written either in Flem-
ish or French. l could read no
Flemish and very little French. l
might have made a little headway
with the latter, but the books all
seemed too deep for me and l gave
it up.
There was one thing, though, that
| did read and reread from beginning
to end; that was a New York Herald
which must have arrived just about
| the time war was declared. Several
things in there interested me, and
particularly the baseball scores
which | studied with as much care
as a real fan possibly could an up
to-date score.
