to the door Of her room and she just
grabbed me and game me a good old
! American hug and kiss. She said
then that | was the first real gentle
man she had met since leaving the
States. Well, that is the last I ever
saw of her and the funny part of it is
that | do not even know her name. And
New York is big city, but I am go
ing to find her some day.
After | saw her off on the train
went back to the hotel and the other
boys of our bunch were just getting
up. They had not even heard the
alarm for the raid and not one of them
would believe me when I told them
what had happened to me. But I
should worry. know who kissed me
and what she looks like. I never will
forget that face. It haunts me al
ways.
Well, we walked down the street a
ways and finally picked a cafe where
we could get decent breakfast We
went in and in our best French order
ed toast and eggs and coffee They
understood the eggs and coffee all
right but could not quite compress the
toast part of it. finally got mad and
went back into the kitchen and made
some toast and sried the eggs the way
| wanted them fried. When the girls
saw that toast and saw me make it
they thought / was spelling perfectly
good bread. But after I had given
them each a piece of it they changed
their minds. We started in on our
hraakfaef o,,I rof about I,o1f 4I,rn,,,l,
with it when one of the girls came W
and said to me, "Du pain claude est
pas bon" and pointed toward the kit.
chen. l went back there and there
were the five Of them all trying to
toast the bread and every one of them
We're burning it to a crisp. I explain
ed that they must be careful and Just
SINCE it. I told them to SINCE it be-
cause it was the only word that
could think of that would express
what ] meant After that they got
along fine and some of the boys who
went up later told me that at that
cafe they were advertising singed
bread American on their bill of fare
I think ought to collect little roy
atty from them on that but they are
too far away to take the trouble to go
after it.
After breakfast we hired car and
drove all over town. We had the car
out about three hours and it cost three
of us five franc each, which is not
so bad when you consider that gas is
worth about eighty cents gallon and
is controlled by the government There
is nothing of especial interest to tell

discovered that there were apparent
ly several things missing. She said
that she did not mind going without
her corset but that she had no way of
holding up her stockings if she did
not have it. Now, | don't know how
the deuce a corset can help hold up
the socks but you being married will
appreciate the joke Please write and
explain that to me because | did not
have the nerve to ask her. Then I
forgot to bring her a shimmey l
guess she called it. don't know
whether that is spelled right or not
but whatever it is it would keep her
skirt from cutting into her as long
as she did not have the corset. More
mystery to the poor single man.
Gosh, you must know lots of things
about women that us bachelors never
find out. l did think though, to bring
her handful of hairpins but she did
not know how that would do her any
good as she did not have glass or
comb Well, had her there. just
pulled out the little old trench mirror
that sis had slipped in my pocket just
before left the old home town, and
| give you my word of honor that that
is the first and last time that it has
ever been used. l had never had oc-
casion to use it before and / would
not use it after that. | went and
bought another one so that | would
have one to use if necessary. And
the same thing with the comb that was
in little pocket in the case that held
the mirror. Well, she started in but
the light was very dim and she had
an awful time till remembered that
pocket flash that you sent me couple
of months before. After that we had
one grand time and when she walked
out of there she looked like the queen
of the ball except that she said that
she was afraid that her socks were
coming down all the time. She had
fixed them little though with some
extra shoe laces l happened to be carr
rying. She left early the next morn
ing and she said that she did not see
why she had paid twelve francs for a
room because she had hardly gotten to
bed before the alarm came. And she
got out of the dug-out just in time
to get to the room and pack and catch
her train out without any breakfast.
While she was packing rustled her
couple of sandwiches and bottle
Of good wine. 1t was all could get
and l knew the wine would not hurt
her any When brought them up to
her room she looked at them and look
ed at me and then packed them in her
grip without word. ! started away

calomel not only fails to remove all i'm

might be traced to mercurial deposits
that settled in the joints, causing them
to become swollen and very painful

been the ideal liver-regulaNng substitute
for calomel and castor oil for forty-seven

This vegetable medicine produces the
benefits you expect from mineral calomel,
but none of the harmful effects. 1t is
pleasant in taste, gentle and prompt in
action relieving sick headaches, bilious
ness. indigestion, dizziness, fevers colds

A spoonful taken occasionally keeps
the liver and bowels active 1t is safe
for young children as well as older people
