Wounded Soldiers
At Frdnkturter Roast
At Open Air Pavilion

Continuing the entertainment of
some of the wounded boys at Colo
mia Hospital Mrs. Whitney w. Oliver
as hostess assisted by the South End
Club entertained the boys at a frank
furter roast and dance last evening
on and around the pavilion in Hayes
Park.
The lads were brought to this city
through the courtesy of the local
Red Cross Motor Corps. The ma
chimes were driven by the Misses
Kathryn Herbert and Lydia Olsen.
They arrived in this city a little after
8 o'clock. Dancing was enjoyed up
to their arrival to the tune of Lind's
orchestra of three pieces. When the
machines drove up the boys We're
greeted at the entrance of the paw
lion by Mrs. Oliver and the commit
tee.
Dancing continued until about 10
o'clock and a number of the boys
who had not suffered from injuries
to their legs or who had recovered
to some extent or even some who
had wooden legs and had learned the
use of them Joined in the dance. A
fire was then built by some of the
local lads and the stage was set for
the roast. Rolls, hot coffee. mustard
and coolies of ~frankfurters served to
| keep the merry gathering busy for "a
short time.
Finally at 10:45 o'clock in a very
| solemn manner Louis p. Booz, Jr.,
| announced that volunteers were
wanted for the first trip home. An
uproar started. 1t was finally dis
| closed that nobody wanted to go IN
the first trip home. 1t was up to the
| motor corps driver and some assist
| ants to select the men. Needless to
say they grumbled about favoritism
and the like and only agreed to leave
upon receiving the hostess promise
to include them in another party
shortly.
Perchance favoritism was shown
to the boys who remained, for after
the departure of the first guests ana
the night became a wee bit chilly
down there on the bay Mrs. Oliver
| sent to her home for more coffee and
homemade cookies. Following the
exit of the orchestra the Misses
Muriel Haney, Ruth Macan, Mrs.
Orville Macan n Pyster
! PLAYED popular selections which the
group around the campfire supported
in real army fashion.

1t had become Miss Miller's Gus
tom to make a regular morning call
upon her dear friend Chrystobel Ger
tets, on the p~retense of comforting
her, and of dispelling her despond-
ency, and of completing the plans for
the journey to Spain.
Surely the girl has pretences
enough to conceal one little truth!
She is only pursuing Bob Lorimer!'
thought 1.
But Bob was usually playing with
Babs in the retreat l had chosen In
the garden. And / felt decidedly tr1-
umphant to have him there, safe
from the wiles of Miss Miller.
Soon, of course. Miss Miller iocat-
ed me. She was always efficient. She
stopped coming over in her car and
began to walk for exercise, she said,
through the lovely Lorimer park.
And so, one morning, she stopped
at the edge of the lotus pool Where
Bob was down on his knees hshlng
for Barbara's ball.
Baby Babs, initiating Bob, had
reached dangerous far over the
water, and 1 had snatched her up to
keep her from tumbling in just as
Katherine Miller appeared.
I realized that it was the first time
Katherine had seen Benjie's baby
since it's adoption by its eternal
grandparents. L held the pretty nu-
man atom out to Miss Miller as IL 1T
were quite the most natural thing IN
the world for me to do
Inwardly, I was revolving this:
eff katherine Miller is Barbara's
mother will she turn pale at sight of
the child. and nearly faint away? Or
will her proper mother-instinct over
come her caution SO that she VIII
CLASP the baby to her heart and weep
over it? That's the way the thing
is always done in the movies 1
reasoned, and then l said aloud TO
Katherine:
.aTake her! Everybody is always
wild to pick her up! Isn't h the
sloveliest doll-baby you ever had a
chance to hold? Such marvellous
such unusual coloring!"
katherine neither lost her >own
Ane color nor betrayed the slightest
interest in that of the child, mol any
symptom of the instructive mother
love I had imagined she might feel.
She gave the baby a single unsmlllng
glance, stood still for the fraction OF
a minute fairly glaring at me. and
then nodded a smiling "good-morn-
ing to Bob.
That gentleman came to his feet
md studied the strange group. He
looked a bit puzzled but he couldn't
possibly see the drama 1 saw, OF
imagined. A wife unrecognized %
her husband A mother refusing to
acknowledge her most adorable
child!
Wee Babs who had lately been
learning to trust everybody h met
because everybody in her wide world
loved her sweet self, reached OUT
willing arms to the beautiful being
in the white dress and added her
prettiest smile. 800
But Miss Miller ignored the child's
appeal. She brushed by the out
stretched hands. Her supercilious
lan through half-dropped lids in
cluded the baby and me in awful as
approval. At the moment, L falled
