The profound question for the

THE sentimental side Of the War Is
embodied in these five stories,
which deal with the experiences of the
men who survived the conflict and re-
turned home to meet new problems OF
readjustment. "Polly's Prot6ge" is q
charming romance with single break

picts tho successful inward struggle of
