E'Red And His Handker'
chief"

BORDEAUX, France, Jan. 81. (By
maiD THANK God, Red has no long
er got any excuse for using my hand
kerchief."
This was theremark Of one dough-
boy as he filed past the American
Red Cross canteen at the embarka-
ton docks, where a dozen Red Cross
women were giving hot coffee, sand
witches, cigarettes, chewing gum. and
among other comforts, handkerchiefs,
to two thousand men boarding
transport for home.
The doughboy rushed over to a
group, in which red-headed chap
stood. He caught him by the arm and
shouted into his ear:
Say, you, now is your chance to
get an influenza mask of your own.
If you don't take it you're out of
luck, cause you cans use that napkin
l copied at the cafe last month as
a handkerchief any more"
"Red" looked up, grinned and forth
with joined the long line of men that
was winding past the Red Cross
booth.
Say, this is the best present I've
had since I came to France" said one
Of the group as he looked at the
handkerchief fondly and blew into it
luxurious1y. l aims seen one of these
things in over three months. Tell
me whether I use it properly"
Red had joined the group by this
time He was blowing his nose Wig
orously, but it didn't have the sound
of a nose that needed blowing and
besides there was a suspicious mist
in his eyes.
1t seems that when he got to the
counter, the Red Cross girl said :
Pleasant voyage. Remember me e
the home folks" 'Red" tried to smile
and reply wittily, but he couldn't find
an answer. His throat contracted
suddenly and his eyes got moist. He
smiled thanks" and s,ouched off,
sheepishly.
"Red" was only twenty-five. and as
most boys Of that age feel, that hate
sentiment. Hehad considered him.
/, self above it, and all during his year
in France, he prided himself on the
fact that he had never displayed any.
"But when that Red Cross girl
spoke about the folks, whom I'll see
in few days, and smiled at me, got
; kinda ratified" he explained. Gee ]
guess I'm getting weak. This army
life amt, done me much good. Next
thing know Til be crying when some
one steps on my toe"
And with that he blew another blast
into the Red Cross handkerchief and
started for the gangplank.
When the transport sailed at high
tide next morning, 1 saw "Red" and
his group of buddies half way up the
mast. There was terrible din. Men
were shouting, the band was playing
and Athe other ships were footing
RED" had his eyes glued to one spot
on the dock where group of Red
Cross women stood waving their
handkerchiefs to the departing men
He was signaling franticaiiy with his
newly acquired handkerchief. when he
wasn's using it vigorously about his
eyes.
