Her Sailor Boy
Lover
BY AID SCHUSTER


NIARILYN MORTIMER sat in her
lV1 room looking out over moonlit
meadows.
81 wonder" she said and quite In
the manner of heroines of fiction, II
wonder what Roger is doing tonight"
Roger was a sailor on battleship.
He had enlisted for the training and
his period of service was almost up.
Marilyn waited for his return and as
she waited she wondered.
Except for the dim blue battle
lights which gave q weird glow be-
tween decks the fleet of superdread-
naughts was in darkness. 1t was not
the black silence and inaction, for
every ship quiyered with suppressed
excitement Bare feet thudded and
whispered on the deck, depending on
whether their owners carried heavy
loads or skipped to carry message.
The men and the ships were stripped
for action. The officers, In their shirt
sleeves, pored over charts, murmured
into telephone receivers nodded at
Il
emy fleet was somewhere to the west
and hidden in the same pail of night.
And the enemy fleet, according to the
charts and the conviction that was be-
mig carried into the minds of the
shirtsleeved officers, had all the best
of the position.
Roger was one of those who toiled
below. He could not know what was
going on, but he knew it was hot and
that he was working as he had never
worked before. They would start fir
ing soon. Some one said the great
torpedoes were ready to launch. It
was going to be great battle, q su-
preme test. Roger glistened like a
seal fresh from the water. He knew
the ammunition was moving and then
he heard the guns.
They all seemed To speak at once
Under his feet the great mass OF steel
vibrated.
Good luck" said Roger. What
ought TO fix 'em. The thunder of guns
roared on.
The order came with appalling sud-
denness. No on expected it for this
noise must mean the shells were drop
ping near the enemy and yet the word
which sent the spirits of every man
down into his boots put them to work
the harder
1t was: Everyone OF his post now
to save the ship from sinking!" A tor
pedo had smashed the seams. the
water must be checked. The kig ship
backed, turned, and twisted aud still,
from the distance came the ewham
wham" and "boom" of guns
And all the while the fleet except
for the sudden bursts of tlaue when
the guns spoke out, was in darkness
The thousands of men below decks,
working as Roger worked, to save
what was left, were-the lifa, invisi-
BILE and desperate, the soul, Seart and
sisew of the battle craft.
Then they left the depths left the
work and the sweat and breathed the
cool air. Steam arose from their
bodies. They jumped into a new task.
1t was overheard with the small
boats, barges and rafts, every man to
the open sea.
Abandon Ship" the LAST word in
the tough luck" catalogue And over
they went into the quiet night and the
same moon that shone in the garden
Of Marilyn Mortimer found its refec-
ton on the glstening body of her
sailor lover.
There was another signal and a
cheer arose. That would be all for
the night. The fleet rode easily off OF
the Farallones and practice, until the
morrow, was over. 1t was, as the off,
GERS said, highly successful ma
neuyer.

WOMAN & GETS
 HOLIDAY DINNER
Mrs. A. C. Hubbard, North Woodstock, Rem ark able Hostess.-kills And Dresses Chickens And Prepares The Meal.

There were doubtless many Thanksgiving family parties in Put nam and surrounding towns. One of them stands out from the fact that the dinner was prepared by a woman who is in her eighty-fourth year.
 Mrs. A. C. Hubbard, of North Woodstock, was the remarkable wom- an who undertook to provide a chick en dinner for her children and grand children. She not only undertook it but she carried it through. The fol- lowing day she said she had slept we'll. was not tired. and was ready to do it all over again.
 Preparing a Thanksgiving dinner in the country means more than go- ing to market and selecting poultry all dressed and cleaned. Mrs. Hubbard raised the several chickens it took to provide for the party of seventeen. She called in no one to assist her but got cut the axe. chopped off the heads of the chickens selected. picked them, dressed them. cleaned them. and cooked them. She also prepared all of the dishes that go to make up a ANAtiHttAf lb1HhF&ANAtAE Atdrl. W Itit the menu has not been given it doubt less included variety of vegetables, excellently spieed dressing and pies such as are found nowhere outside of the farm kitchen.
 Sixty Years in Home
 Mrs. Hubbard has lived in her pres ent home for sixty years, or since her marriage. Her husband died some twenty years ago and she kept the home for her children These have grown up and departed For the past two or three years she has lived alcne. She does all of her own house work and one may well imagine that her home is spick and span. She keeps in touch with current affairs through reading and with the affairs of the community by making and re- ceiving calls and attending church.
 The family gathering at the Hip bard home included the six children and seven of the nine grandchildren Two grandchildren, Sidney Haywood of Hanover. N H.. and Clarence Hib' bard of Pomfret, were unable to be present. None enjoyed the day more than did the venerable hostess, whose responsibilities in getting the dinner sat lighty upon her.
