their dependents about the allot-

you use?'

I was instead Of in some office where
the most exciting thing that is done
is to send out to some general some
machine guns or more blankets. The
war risk is just a great big slice out
Of life. and my section is the very
heart of it.
There are dozen different divisions,

H. Daddy! I want to come
running to you and climb
v y up In your lap and lean my
head against your fuzzy coat
and sob and sob and sob. Then you
could guess what 1t is about and I
would not have to tell you. Daddy,
Allie, our, little Alphonsine, did not
go home the way 1 have thought all
the time that she did. She went home
with her eyes shut-her big black
eyes that looked at you as trustfully
as a chflds, and with her dimpley
hands folded. Daddy. they put her
in a long white box, where the wind
could not rufiie her curls.
cannot believe tt cannot!
Daddy. 1t seems that IL only could
wish for her hard enough she would
come tripping back to the door and
say "Me?' in that adorable little way
of hers. but, my voice will not call.
And 1t breaks, my heart to write to
you. The world Is SO big and so
lonely. But l. must tell you about it,
If you can read between the splashes.
NY handkerchief will not catch them
quickly enough. they come so fast.
I told you that Allie got the in
fiuenza three days after I did and.
could not get place in a hospital
Nan nursed her what little there was
to do, and whenever I saw Nan she
always told me that Allie was doing
Just as well as could be expected
whenI began to convalesce she told
me that Allie had gone home: there
was not much to 1t; they had all de-
cided that she had better go as soon
as she could, and so she went with
out even having an opportunity to
come and tell me good-by 1t never
occurred to me that there might be
a double meaning to what I heard.
Instead, I began to look hopefully
for q letter telling me how perfumey
New Orleans was. remember now
that whenever asked Nan about let
