 In the darkness in single file, the company slowly gended their way down the communication trench to the front line. No one noticed LOyd's white and drawn face.
 After they had relieved the company in the trenches, Lloyd. with two of the old company men, was put on guard in one of the traverses. Not q shot was fired from the German lines, and no one paid any attention to him crouched on the firing step.

Most verybody has had vivid recol-
lections of some story which was told
him repeatedly in his extreme youth
as evidence of the awful lengths to
which eXaggeration can be carried.
Perhaps the best known of these is
the story about Mr.. Jones turnips
A neighbor told Mr.. Jones that a man
had come i'll the night with a cart
and taken away all his turnips Mr.
Jones couldn't see that any of his tur-
nips were missing so Investigated the
story further, when Il developed that
Mr. Brown had told the neighbor about
il. Mr.. Brown however, said he had
only mentioned a wheel barrow and
that he got his version from Mr.
Smith Mr. Smith said he had merely
said a man came with a basket and
took a handful of turnips, nd that he
got the story from another neighbor,
and eventually the story was traced
back to a poor old man who had mere
ly made the remark that Mr.. Jones
l.turnips were ripe for pulling.
The most modern version of this
story appears to be the rumors which
are floating round with regard to the
crowds of passengers which Mrs.
Starks is taking out on her pleasure
yacht for the benefit of the Red Cross.
For the past several days this story

MEETING OF CHILDREN'S
RED CROSS SOCIETY.

An extremely interesting meeting of
the Children's Red Cross Society was
held yesterday afternoon in the Chri
Church Parish House, when a large
amount of work was accomplished,
about seventy little folks being pres
emit
At the opening of the meeting an
announcement was mace that the hos
tess had decided it was scarcely in
keeping with the idea of Hoover
izing" which is so prevalent just now
to serve refreshments at every meet
ing, and that in future this would only
be done on special occasions.
The resolution was met with whole
hearted approval by the young people,
who Immediately saw that this was
just another means of proving how
much they are willing to do in order
to help their county, and they imme-
diately proceeded to devote AL cir
young energies to the work in hand.
Quite a number of finished ccm-
fort bags were turned in, and a large
bundle OF handkerchie-s which they
had taken home from the last meeting
to finish, while one of the chief d.
versions of the afternoon was the
work which was done on real old
fashioned patch work quilt.
Scrapbooks were also given round
among the children to work on, an
really some of these are we'll worth
seeing when finished.
Mrs. James Phillips told a very
pleasing and interesting story about
the Red Cross, and Miss Helen Carter
later produced a miniature hot bed by
the help of which she explained quite
a good deal TO the children about
the work in their gardens.
The garden contest is proving very
popular, and several new names were
added to the list yesterday. A tre-
| mendous amount of enthusiasm is be-
| ing exhibited by those who are al
ready in the swim, and reports from
| the gardens which have been started
are most encouraging

upon, one of which you can be proud and
which will stand the test comparison.
A woman's age is not reckoned by her
years, but by her appearance. Some wo-
men are old at thirty, while others are
young at seventy. AS illustration we
