 For while he and were great pals. He used to dance with me, and we had some delightful walks through the pretty country around Esize la Grande, when spring began to break over those pic turesque hills of northern France. He was one of the boys who had real ap- preciation for beauty, and for that req son I cannot understand how Doris at- tracted him.
