Of our boys In France is conferred on

joyousy take for granted, with their
strange, new insight into things splr-

perhaps for the first time they are
realizing everyday joys, know what

sleep; are aware of the holiness Of
clean clothing, the exquisite flavor Of

And so, having found out about Life,
they know all there is for US TO know
about Death. Instead Of losing its
