couldn't hail this prospect with any great
degree Of joyful anticipation but I swallowed
the lump in my throat and asked the usual
bromide question,
care you glad to be going?"
The answer was far from bromide
"Gad?" he repeated with a flash of his blaz-
ing eyes. "Glad don't half express it, ma'am;
I'd jes' like to see the color of the fellers eyes
that wouldn't be glad to go," Then ne added
with a smile, "Can do any little favor for

Take her back of the car and tell her. I'll

He obeyed, and they had five minutes for
their farewells before the chauffeur threw in
his clutch. 1t was very teary young woman
that he gave into my keeping.
"She's soldiers sweetheart" he said. "She
will be brave; won't you, honey? Think how
proud you'll be when your boy comes marchin'
home, major gen'rall"
We left him standing there bareheaded in
the moonlight.
But that wasn't quite the end of the story
Our chauffeur was unacquainted with the
roads, and for long time we wandered about
in circles, inquiring our way of every sentry
and invariably taking the wrong turning in
vain search for the great highway that would
take us home.
We were still cropping about in the darkness,
for the moon had gone under cloud, when we
heard in the distance the tramp, tramp of feet
on the hard road, and we drew up at cross
road to allow the passing of company Of
khaki clad soldiers, each carrying full kit who
were marching off in the darkness on the first
stage of their long journey. There was no
blare of trumpets, no beat of drums, just the
rhythmic thud thud of feet on the macadam
road. And somewhere in those khaki colored
ranks there was a Southern lad whose eyes
were blazing with light such as never was
seen on land or sea. Just one boy, only one
Of a million or more, off for France to fight

Between these extremes Of nature and Gus

English Poultry Take Over the lighthouses

N ENGLAND men and women did not be-
lieve in bathing in the same part of the
ocean before the war, or of gambolling on
the beach afterward. 1t is too cold for the lat
ter, and British decorum forbids the former.
instead, when John Bull wanted a swim he
got into nice, roomy bath wagon, with a horse
attached to it, and while he undressed himself
ie'surely within and hung his clothes on hang
ers against the sides, the old horse drew him
out into the briny where it was deep enough to
hide himself. Then he opened the door hur
rledly and jumped right in before any one could
stare at him.
Inc bath wagon drew back upon the beach
and waited for him to signal distress. Then it
went and got him; and when he emerged. latsr.

And when German zeps bombed Westgate

There were the Irish gardens, where Pat
and Bridget insisted upon killing their pota-
toes three feet high as they used to do in the
Doggy Gould counthry," in spite of warnings
that few weeks Of our hot, dry summer
would make baked potatoes of them. Over at
the other end of town, by way of contrast,
were the Persian gardens, sunk deep down so
that the vegetables will be sure to get every
drop of moisture possible, as would be neces-
sary in the desert land. Here, though there
seem to be no wine and nightingales, no books
of verses underneath the Dough, there was still
the flavor of the Orient in the way stray
stones at the edges of the plots are heaped into
pointed piles, reminiscent of minarets, instead
of the squat, practical heaps in other places,
and the very way the planting is done shows
Oriental thrift and not little of the Oriental
religion-which, for one thing, directs that
work may be done on Sunday, but no seeds put
into the ground on that sacred day.

it more practical to register as Tony Smith

for the visitor to say just the right thing to
inspire them with the patience and courage to

Only the Best Are Good
Enough for the Hospital

Every day at noon truckoad of fragrant
flowers is sent to one or another of the
big war hospitals. These are not the left
overs, not the dropping, half-withered BIOS
SONS which could not be sold in the shops, not
by a good deal; they are the most perfect
blooms to be had and they come, fresh every
morning, straight from the greenhouses in
the country to headquarters for distribution.
This work has been going on every day since
the middle of May, and practically every florist
in New York, wholesale retail, together
with the greenhouse owners and shippers in
the outlying districts, has a share in it. 1t
was the idea of the florists themselves. Early
in May committee was appointed by the
New York Florists Club to visit every florist
in the city and ask his cooperation. Letters
were also sent to nursery and greenhouse men
and to the shippers out of town. The response
was immediate and unanimous. The flowers
are sent to the headquarters, on Twenty
eighth Street, and the National League for
Women's Service does the rest
Every day at noon a motor truck piled high
with flowers and driven by members of the
motor corps of the National League leaves
the distributing Office on its errand of cheer.
Doubtless you have seen it; it bears on the
front in blue and white the motto, "Say it in
flowers"
