kDD Il AH0 ri Of 'WARfARF'
When the Army Captain and the Hos;

tlonary Together.

I dropped into a. French hospital
the other day to see If my men were
all right. There IL the daintiest little
girl in the Office. She buzzes arou1d
among the books and files and indices
and things. She is very accommodate
ing. too, and when the lieutenant doc.
tor, who has little English, Is not
In, she pilots you around the Differ
ent wards. Did you ever notice an
American when he talks to foreign
er and realizes that it does not take?
First he tries shouting at the top OF
his lungs, and then he tries talking
very slowly and distinctly. Not SO
when French girl sees that she Is
missing. She seems to feel that II she
keeps on getting closer, and COOS 1t, you
somehow just must understand. Now,
isn't that too absurd? You stand very
still so as not to brighten her away
and look at her out Of the corner OF
your eye, but you don't put your mind
on your business. OF all the 'mologies
that might interest you just then, ETY.
has the poorest chance.
OF course, when 60 to the hospital
to see my men, have to find out In
the office where's they all are, and OF
course l know the lieutenant doctors
dinner hour. I 60 in and she looks up
and smiles. I say: "Smith." She says,
"SmeethT l say, "Oui," and we both
smile. I say, "John Smith" She says.
"John Smeeth?" I say, "Oui," and we
smile again. Then she plunges into
drawer Of well-thumbed cards and in a
moment comes up triumphant with
bit Of pasetboard. "Mumpsw says
she, which in French sounds like
humps in English. "Oui, mumps," say
I, and we fairly beam.
Sometimes we get hard one like
measles, and then we resort to a
dictionary. When you try to talk
through a dictionary you never get
anywhere If you take it turn about.
You must both look together. One day
we pursued q most elusive word
through a very small dictionary. She
got an arm around my shoulder before
we had captured the third syllable.
You see, don't you, where going to
hospital might become habit?-Capt.
