Find My Bob and Discover My Rival
Busy at Her Campaign

DuSJ al T1eT SdTnPdlSn
 Naturally . wanted a flower for Bobs Easter gift which would some how suggest me to him, if it were possible to stimulate his memory. But I was unable to find in the display of the season a single blossom which would convey personal sentiment to him. The arbutus and snowdrops for which we used to search in the north ern woods were not to be had. Orchids would make him think of his mother, violets might arouse memories of many girls.
 It was doubly hard to find the right blossoms because Bob has an atrocious taste in flowers. He must always have them a bright red. Now to my mind Easter blossoms should be white or purple or gold, but to catch my hus- bands eye and hold his interest, l knew that I must buy a stunning red bouquet. Fortunately I came upon a ruby colored azalea. And to my de- light it was almost a duplicate of one Bob had sent me the Easter after our wedding.
 I hesitated about buying it because it would make an awkward parcel to carry on the train. But in the end 1 | took it-and was grateful that Tom my's purse was so elastic. Incidental | ly. I wondered how large a sum l l could manage to pay back to Tommy, some day, in return for what he had | loaned me, calling the surplus inter est
 I told Tommy of my intention to visit my husband in camp, and Tommy was patient, and kind, but not bit enthusiastic. Somehow. Tommy never is that when 1 mention Bob.
 Very early Easter morning I put on the dark tan complexion and the bobbed wig which I had worn with my messenger girl uniform. Tommy helped me ito entrain" with my plant and it occurred to me that this for midable piece of luggage was in itself I a disguise. None of my former friends would ever suspect Jane Lorimer of carrying the better part of a green house on journey.
 Many persons flocked to the camp grounds Easter Sunday and that fact made it easy for me to unroll lot oi official red tape quickly. For the hospitals, one required a special pass but at last I found myself in Bob's
 
 Then my mind as well as my body wobbled. Would I find Bob in bed and quite helpless? An unsound mine so often wrecks a body. Would he bt quite crazy? Or silent and melan choly
 I was more astonished than relieved when the nurse said that Lorimer haC gone to the song service-I needn' wait-she would deliver the flowers.
 Thank you" I murmured, "bu probably-therell be an an swer."
 Very well. Wait if you want to Perhaps you'd like to hear the Easte singing, though it's almost finished It's at the hut-where you see the Ret Triangle"
 Onward Christian Soldiers wa filling the room as I entered. Tn men were standing, and it was easy t pick out my Bob for few are as tai as he is.
 Bob towers, usually. but 1 had t look twice to locate him, for the wa bending little sideways-toward girl who was holding a hymnal.
 And he wore an air of deep inter est in the young woman-but that recognized as Bobs manner-his littl way which means nothing at al though it flatters most girls-they talk it as a personal compliment.
 I let the crowd surge slowly past mt Bob looked very tired and worried but not at all insane.
