She was perched on the little side seat just behind the driver, ener- getically chewing gum.
 Hey" as she familiarly slapped his shoulder, "have a stick of gum" "
 Don't mind if I do, beautiful. I like gum"
 Maizie didn't hear him. She was too absorbed in admiring her out stretched legs.
 Satisfied that the driver was watching her by means of the rear view mirrors she twisted them first one way, then the other, display ing well-turned limbs, slim ankles, and neat high-heeled slippers.
 T was on Eds bus tonight, and I seen his two bins. i. Oh boy! Was he lucky they didn't both ot them ride at the same time" At this she burst into 8 fit of loud laughter which was somewhat startling. The first phase of it was a sort of smothered snort; the sec- ond nothing more than a high pitched shriek or scream.
 "Oh," said the driver, Eds giv- ing them the rln-around. They're getting in his hair"
 "Oh, yeah? You're tellin' me? Say, listen, kid; I got your number too. You ain't only two-timin' me, you're three -timin' me-"
 "Aw, he yourself, Mazie." He seemed indignant.
 "Oh, yeah? What about that red- head saw the other P. K? She ain't such a hot sketch, though, be- lieve me-"
 LAW, she's just another bus driv- ers' honey. She falls for anything that wears 8 uniform"
 She was so engaged in putting too much makeup on her otherwise pretty face that she didn't hear his answer. She said loudly:
 Say, kid, ya1l have to talk louder if you want me to hear va. Talk up, you're among friends"
 They didn't pay any attention to the only other passenger, an old fashioned person dressed in deep mourning who sat well toward the rear of the bus.
 Hey, put your head over more. I need your mirror" she said as she tucked stray hairs under 8 chic little pink bonnet, tilted to one side of her head.
 Pretty nice chappoo you got me for my birthday"
 You like it, kid?"
 Listen, guy," she told him, i've can't stay out so late tonight My old man is gettin' suspicious. We'll have ta make it snappy. can't be comin' home from my sisters every night at two P. x. Train your lousy car not to break down so much. "
 At this she burst into another of the fits of laughter which punctu- ated her speech.
 Boy, I'm sure glad va ain't mar ried, like Henry is. A wife an kids is a damn nuisance sometimes. It's funny, too, all the incest guys are married. Oh, well, such is life in 8 big town, guess"
 She paused for breath, and went on:
 Say, did va hear about Bebe and her guy?'
 "No spill the dirt, kid," he an- Swered.
 "Well, you know that guy that takes the split run?
 Big Louie"
 "No. you dummy" she said, "the little guy with the dished-in face red hair, an dirty fingernails. Yeah, that's him. Well, you know he has Thursdays off, so Bebe in- vited him over to the house she works at, to eat cake an coffee. She thinks she can bake good cake" [

The Reds threw into action nine
diviSions-Six of which existed
only in the plans of the First

for the most spectacular field
problem the Army has staged thus

Opposing the Reds was the Blue

Jumping off at 8 a. m. from
its base line along the Black

the left wing of the enemy in
the vicinity of Evans Mills, about
eight miles west and north Of

Main strength of the Blue
action was expected to fall in this
sector. The Forty-fourth, sup
ported by the 1855 of the Twenty

opened the action here. On the
right flank, the First Regular
Division swept forward in its
motorized transport, apparently
bent on hating the Blue left wing
and thrusting it back on its cen
ter, while the Red center and left
corps smashed the line near
Evans Mills.
The troops went into action
carrying only their arms and light
combat packs containing one
meal ration and meSS-kit.
Blankets, pup tents and supplies
for tonight's bivouac in the field
were back in the trains, waiting
for nightfall to go forward to the
