the girls welcome holiday. They can
sleep and then go out dancing with
some fine young man. Amt you got a
young man, Miss Johnson? Perhaps
you've not been long enough in the
city. Well, well, take your time.
There's lot of these youngsters who
can make love all right, all right, but
when it comes to furnishing the home
they'd have a hard time doing it on
the installment plan. The salaries of
young men amt so big these days."
Mr.. Brown was manager of the
Jones & Gushing Wholesale Glass and
CrOckery company. He was a large
gentleman with watery blue eyes, fat
lips and pudgy hands.
81 suppose you'll be missing the old
folks, eh?" continued the gentleman.
81 guess I will miss them," said Miss
Johnson, with letters and notebook in
hand. "It will be the first Thanksgiv-
ing I've been away. You see took
my course at business college last win
tar and went home for the summer"
''To be sure" said Mr.. Brown. "It's
only two months since you came here,
but you've won your way into our
hearts," he added with a leer.
"And 1 know how you feel" he went
On. "Just longing for the old folks
and the kids. How'd you like some
real turkey, eh? Well, we'n have it.
You're only child to me. I'm old
enough to be your father"
And with a look such as no father
has ever given before or since, Mr..
Brown moved his chair a little nearer
How about a Thanksgiving dinner
with me tomorrow night? My wife has
gone to see her old mother, who is
down sick. So let's keep each other
company, eh? And have real turkey
What do you say?

where therell be cranberry sauce, too,
And Wen hear music when we eat,
that is if we get those noiseless SOUP
spoons" Mr.. Brown thought he was
o humorous man.
ST guess I'll 60" said Miss Johnson
slowly.
"Good! I'll call for you at six sharp
and you have a good sleep and write
home to the folks that you're going
out with a nice safe old fatherly man
from the Office" Mr. Brown really
fiattered himself that he was neither
old nor safe.
Miss Johnson had closed the door
and gone to put her book and letters
back in her desk. Mr.. Courtney, one
Of the statesmen and Mr. Browns right
hand man, had noticed a slight flush
on her face as she had passed him. He
wondered if it could be possible that
Mr.. Brown had invited her to spend
the holiday with him. But the idea
vanished and just at that moment he
was called to the telephone. The other
girls had gone to the cloakroom and
Miss Johnson entered as they were
preparing for the outside world.
"What are you going to do tomor-
row, johnny" asked Miss Marks. It
was the name the girls mad given her.
81 don't know just yet" she an
swered.
"Bill and are going to a Thanksgiv-
ing ball." remarked Miss Angela Car
ter. 'And I've got a swell new dress
mothers making me-"
There was a general discussion as to
the ways the holiday would be spent
and at the downstairs door Miss John

and went over to the elevated.

The student of the war who is try.

he has to deal with. Even the mill.
tary experts, close to the ceaters of
information, vary widely.
And apparently competent opinion
has it that the Germans now under
arms number 100000. Yet the best
estimates of the Germans on the west
front previous to the offensive, were
only about 100000.
AS only a small force Is now need
ed in Russia, and not many on other
fronts, where are the other 1000, 900?
The chances are that a lot of that f.
100000, while technically in the ser
vice. are in hospitals or on sick leave.
The enemy would probably bring
