Dear Daisy, I say in answer, your

argument as any I could think up.
Dirk isn't the only husband who has
grown exacting and critical in these
tense days. It's partly a nervous re-
action to the fearful events that are
shaking the world, and as such
ought to be treated with patience
and kindness. But at the same time
a lot of husbands ought to wake up

Removing Mildew Stains

Fresh mildew stains will often
come out if you simply wash the
material with soap and water and
put it in the bright sunshine. If this
doesn't work, try covering the
spots with lemon juice and salt, and
placing the garment in the sun. Or
you can use sodium perborate as a
bleach on white or colorfast fabrics.
4 tablespoons Of sodium perborate
to a pint Of soapy water. Clothes
must be well rinsed in cold water,

least four hours.

push with the toe of her left shoe.

mlmeographed
page was filed with specific orders
for the grand attack to follow.
Officers stood or squatted in a
circle in a little apple orchard be-
hind a ramshackle stone farmhouse
Of a poor French family who had
left before US. The Stonewall in the
front yard had been knocked down
by Smelling. and through the Or
chards there yer shell craters and
tree limbs knocked off and trunks
sliced by bullets. Some enlisted men
sleeping the night before in the attic
of the house got the shock of their
lives when the thin floor collapsed
and they fell down into the cowshed
below.
Chickens and tame rabbits still
scampered around the farmyard.
Dead cows lay all around in the
fields.
The regimental colonel stood in
the center of the officers and went
over the orders in detail. Battalion
commanders took down notes in
little books.
The colonel said. Ernie Pyle is
with the regiment for this attack
and will be with one Of the bat
talions, so you'll be seeing him.
The officers looked at me and
smiled and I felt embarrassed.

An enlisted man ran to the
mess truck and got a folding
canvas stool for the General to
sit on. He sat listening intently
while the colonel wound up his
instructions.
Then the General stepped into
the center of the circle. He stood
at a SLOUGH on one foot with the
other leg far out like a brace. He
looked all around him as he talked.
He didn't talk long. He said some
thing like this
This is one Of the finest regi-

ment into France in this war. 1t has

The Generals lined face was a
study in emotion. Sincerity and deep
sentiment were in every contour and
they shone from his eyes. General

and impersonal. hurts him. At the
end his voice almost broke, and l

He ended:

Then we broke up and l went with
one of the battalion commanders.
Word was passed down by field
phone, radio and liaison men to the
very smallest unit of troops that the
attack was on.
There was still an hour before the
bombers, and three hours before the
infantry were to move. There was
nothing for the infantry to do but dig
a little deeper and wait. A cessa-
ton of motion seemed to come over
the countryside and all its brown
