The Diary of Our Own Samuel Pepys

Apr1t Sup, and to the office, where
all day very merry, forasmuch as my
wife hath not, as she feared, the
mumps after all Home to dinner, and
my wife and l secretly to a cinema
theater, and saw two silly plays, one
about Lotus Blossom, and the other
called "The Orphan" But we had
great pleasure making game of the
captions, or whatever they are called.
May My wife and with Mistress
Sylvia for ride to Haverstraw, ard
we two back by steam train, tram car,
ferry, and taximeter- cab. Found R.
Baldridge to dinner, and in the eve
ming to j. Toohey's, where I won
little at cards, and home early.
2-In my petrol-waggon to take A.
Woollcott to the steamer, and left him
there to find in his stateroom the gift
the boys had sent him, viz, bowl of
goldfish. To the courts, and J. Whyte
and l trounced N. Sinclair and S.
Spaeth two setts; and / sat with Miss
Margaret Grove for an hour after, who
Aoheu iIe Aoi ahotuer orange tye, DuC
| doubt | shall give it her. Home,
where R. Hayes comes for dinner and
A. OBrien later, and R. brought me
a fine bracelet for my watch, but it
is too tight for my wrist, fear.
3-All day at my stint, and in the
evening to the Globe, to see "The Girl
From Home"
There is nothing indicating that
the incident was ar anti-American
demonstration of any kind--in fact,
Ambassador Davis was present." it was
added.-The Times.
Which J. L. adds to the non
sequiturs.
All the Comforts of Verdun
Sir. The Raymond & Whitcomb Co. ad-
Vertlses: for we have secured the
only comfortable. modern, sanitary quarters
in Verdun itself for our tour-members."
Very nice and very gratifying to know
that an American agency has been clever
enough to make such exceptional arrange
ments for us, but somehow 1 do not feel
that could be Comfortable" under those
circumstances. You see. l have rather
strong impression that there are natives of
Verdun itself who, by their conduct during
the late unpleasantness, merted not onlv
the most comfortable quarters in the city
of their birth, but the utmost degree of COM
fort in any city in the whole world which
they might honor by their presence. No.
l hardly think III join that tour to Verdun
this year. DAISY BE1I.
Perhaps there is Silver Lining to
the cloud that the inhabitants of Ver-
dun are depriving themselves of the
only comfortable, modern, sanitary
quarters in town. Perhaps in fore
gong quarters they are gaining de-
sirable 50-franc notes.

Now, we saw the match and it seemed
to US as though frequently the bubble
of hope would break and spill the beans
on victorys ladder.

Douglas Tendran True, of Washing

Mr.. True, our guess is, is related to
those charming girls-Maida Vathens.
