BILL OF THE u. S. N. ABROAD
MIKES UP HIS TWO LETTERS
And Madeline, Who Got the One Meant for John, Finds Out Exactly
What He Thinks of the French ChHs-Informaton for i.
Our Yankee Sisters

John, why there's the way to know the
truth.
Propinquity was ever a great match
maker, and the French girls were
surely good and kind to our boys, and
in spite of what Bill says there are
plenty of them very pleasing to look
upon; but nov that the war is over
there's just one little tune running
through the mind of the Yank. He
wants his girl back home.
ENVEN IL Bill hadn't been so OUT
IL spoken in his letter to John there
were plenty of other ways to know
how he felt about things. This is the
way he started out Received your
letter some time ago, but as there Is
absolutely nothing to write about I
have been letting 1t rock" And then
this is the. finish: We'll, old top, 1t Is
getting rather dark and anyhow there
is nothing to write about, so 7 will
cut this little sheet of nothing short.

In the meantime. the young lady
who learned all these important things
is wondering just what John is finding
out in the letter that was meant for
her.
