We Have Tea Together ard Qu,z Io
 About Shell Shock Cases

''Hullo, Jane!" said my stranger husband in a tone I knew and liked when, as school boy and school girl, We had passed in the street. It was weird-the difference between the vii brant tone of the lover and husband who had gone off to war. and the cas- ual impersonal voice of the man who had come back.
 I was startled to discover that so much could go out of mans soul and leave him an energetic and interesting human being, normal in everything but his affections.
 T missed you at breakfast" Bob continued. Mother said she couldn't imagine what had become of you"
 "No one was up when I left the | house." l said. Are you all right this
 morning Bob?"
 "Fine-sure-after night in my own 1 old room. But what are you waiting
 around a hotel for. Jane?" For you-I guessi" It was chal- 1 lenge which would have pleased the
 old Bob Lorimer, but the new Bob i Lorimer let it fall flat with: If such is the case, Jane, let's have | tea. l breakfasted at noon, so think | a sandwich is due me before dinner !

 But it was plain that the memory 0 our little intimate meals in the peacoc, | room had been squeezed out of Bob: brain cells. And I told myself, as I had
 done 8 dozen times before, that it was
 largely his fault, that it was d curse
 for his own perverse and jealous think 1 ing. And I warned myself:

 Then with my usual directness, produced the one subject of conversa- tion which interested me most, except ing that of our war wrecked love:
 What does shell shock feel like, Bob?"
 T can't say, Jane. You see I was in a stupor three days. I woke up fighting mad-not insane, you under stand-but set on getting right after the boche again. However the major kept me in hospital two weeks under observation. l rested and watched fellows who were in worse luck.'
 Tell me about them--the worst cases"
 The double consciousness cases are the limit, I think. Why, I'd rather be all gone than half gone. There was one chap who had been a dance hall pianist and after shell shock he didn'i l know what a piano was for, although he could carry on most other ways! And there was an officer who became normal every way but one-he didn't know the picture of his own wife wheI | it was shown to him."
