The worst Of il was that one half Of
your precious half minute was taken
up in a long drawn gasp al the wax
figures at the entrance; ghostly fig.
ures in blue-grey uniform. ugly squar-
ish hats crushed low on ugly squarish
heads, and all the figures slumping for
ward as though they were too weary
to stand in the stuffy ear any longer
and were quite tired Of being stared
at by so many pairs Of curious Ameri-
can eyes.
II wasn't so bad at the open flat
ears. There were ever 50 many inter
esting things, to look at if one could
get close eaough-whieh one never
eould-and another brown eyed soldier
with two gold service stripes was re-
lating some fearfully exciting expert
enees which would, no doubt, have
been very Interesting if one could
have got near enough to have heard
him. 1t was all extremely educational
and one has the satisfaction now Of
knowing what a "minewerfer" looks
like. Besides which there is that whole
row Of brand new freekles across ones
nose (sweet remembrance Of the long
wait in the sum and the perfectly en-
ioyable nightmare Of the following
night in which one stumbled frantic
ally over she'll torn fields pursued by
hordes Of grey clad men with ugly
squarish hats crushed low over ugly
squarish heads, until one came to
screaming stand-still in front Of
group Of ghostly figures slumping
wcarily forward, with open eyes and
parted lips ike the lips and eyes Of
men just dead.
/ wouldn't have missed it all for
worldsl
