My dear sir:
Looking back over the years since
my discharge from the A. E. F., I
have tried to catch again my impress
sion of war and my reason for joining
the local National Guard. Like most
kids, I read the blood and thunder
stories of the Cowboys of the West,
and the doings of King Arthur and
his brave Knights. All this helped to
glorify war. Twenty years have
passed and the dreams and ideals I
had as boy and my reasons for en-
listing are somewhat blurred. But
the memories of the things that hap
pened in France come back clean-cut
and clear.
I remember the long, long march
es, sleeping in the rain in open fields,
the dark shell-wrecked country side,
the smelly, swollen bodies of men and
horses. The sound of shells scream
ing overhead and the bursting of
those that didn't pass, the faces of
the men when they looked at the havoc
and began to remove the bodies of
men who had paid the price. These
were the lucky ones. For them there
would not be another Zero Hour: for
them the tense waiting had ended,
but it did not end or has it ended for
the broken things that were men
few moments before the shell landed.
Some of them are in hospitals today,
still paying the price with broken
bodies, and gas burned lungs that
make perfect home for tuberculosis
which will in time complete the work
started in 1888.
Time, the great healer and builder
of al things, has levelled the trenches
and made grass and trees grow where
but few years ago men fought and
died for an Ideal; fought war to end
all wars. But the lesson learned in
the past at such a terrific expense
of men and wealth has had little eff
feet. Today we see half the world a.
gain using it's best manhood for

Good Taste Today

, empty the gentlemen wait for the
ladies to go first. When waiting
in a crowd a gentleman accom-
panying a lady takes his place be-
hind her so as to follow immedi-
ately after her.
The second letter is from a
young woman: I'm just back in
the office from lunch, and doubt
if I can graphically describe a
man at a table across from mine,
who WAS certainly taking the art
out of eating asparagus. But here
goes, First he picked up long
stalk with his fingers. letting the
butter drip onto his plate. Then,
watching his chance between drips,
he Tipped the stalk into his mouth,
and with a succession of quick
bites reduced the part he did not
bite off into a pulp, which he then
put back on his plate. The sight
was anything but appetizing.
When I attracted the attention of
one of the girls here, she said,
Why, that's the right way to
eat asparagus. If you don't be-
lieve me, you can read Mrs. Posts
book"
In self-defense then, let me
quote exactly what my book does
say in the chapter on table man.
ners, under the heading Foods
That Are Sometimes Difficult To
Eat" by reputation, asparagus
is a finger food, but the ungrace-
fun sight of seeing bent stalk
dripping like a fountain into some
ones upturned mouth. and the
fact that water is also likely to
drip from the end, has been the
reason why most fastidious people
invariably eat it-at least partially
with fork. That is. cut the
stalks with the fork to where they
become harder, and then pick up
the ends in the fingers If you
choose. But don't squeeze the
stalks. or hold your hand below
the end and let the juice run down
your arm. Hothouse asparagus,
or any other that has no hard
end, is cut and eaten with fork.
All hard ends should be cut off
asparagus before serving it at a
dinner party, since picking up
stalks in the fingers is scarcely
compatible with pleasant table
