any damage Is not known.
Except in Lorraine there has been
a u entire absence of Infantry fighting
on the western front. The big guns,
however, have continued their rain Of
shells on opposing positions at various
points.
. At La Chapelotte, In Lorraine, the
Germans launched a heavy infantry
attack against thp French which was
repulsMl. Some of the Germans ob
tained a footing in a portion of the
French salient, but later wero driven
out with heavy losses.
Around Hill 304 and in the region
of Eshes and Cumieres, northwest of
Verdun, the bombardment continues in

Afoulainvilee, there also has been a
violent bombardment In the Argonne

On the eastern, front, near Garbu

Several weeks ago while shopping
In Wlliiwlwro, a gi?od lady friend ol
The Chronicle purchased a box of
thread, aud ot) one of tin* balls appear
ed a slip of | wiper with the name and
address ??f the i>acker, who was Miss
Campbell, residing at SI Causey
side St., Paisley, Scot lamb The Omib
den lady wrote to the young lady at
tin* above address and wan pleasantly
surprised to receive a letter from Scot
land, under <feite of March 20th, which
she prizes very highly. She has kindly
Consented to let us reproduce the letter
and we know it will he read with in
terest, The letter which had passed
through the censors bands fs as fol
lows : ^
f "My Dear Mrs. -- ? ? 1 received your
letter and It oaiue'as quite a pleasant
surprise as I had given up hoi>e of
bearlug where the ball of c.>tt??U had
gone with my name and address on It.
"First of all I will tell you how my
name happeued to be on the slip. 4
work in the warehouse of J. & I*, ('oats,
and there are three girls of us who are
very chummy. One Jay we thought we
would each put our name in a differ
ent box of cotton going to U. H. A.
The result was one of my friends got
a letter from a lady in Baltimore and
the other liad a letter from Indiua<
Well that wtas sometime ago and you
see I was quite pleased when I got
your letter.
"I have worked in Coats' warehouse
as a checker for seven years, I can't
tell you anything about the make up
of the thread, as we don't- have any v
flihifr to do with it until It is finished
In the boxes and ready for packing.
We examine every box to sec that it
Is all right before it leaves our place.
It is my belief that the most of the
mercerized crotchet cotton Is manu
factured in Scotland. Coats is a lim
ited company now, and I think they
are the biggest thread makers In the
world. They have mills in Kussia,
Spain, Italy, Austria -a: nd In Newark,
fn America. I don't think the mills in
Ainertcia can be very big, either that,
or the ladles in America do a tremen
dous lot of fancy work, as we send to
U. S. A. alone from twenty thousand
I to twenty-two thousand boxes every
| day.
I "I do a great deal of fancy work
too. I have used different kinds of
cord and like the mercerized cord best.
, It is put through- a certain process
which keejw? It from turning veil on- af
ter it has been washed several times
as other plain cords do.
"By the titte you get this letter I
will have changed my name. I nm
being married on April 15th and after
that I will be Mrs. Bridge. My ad
dress will be Just the same as I am
just staying on here with Mother. My
Intended husband is in the soldiers
training camp Just now, and he ex
pects to be going on active service by
May. I have a brother nerving with
the colours Just now, hut he is utill
training in England. This war is aw-,
fnt "I, fOl' ~6tTe, wish with all my
heart, it was all over.
"As I sit here writing, It Is snowing
heavily. Everything i? pure white.
Do you ever have snow In your sec
tion? I once had a great desire to go
abroad, and just before Joining the
army my intended husband, he d the
chance -of a pljace in South America.
He did not take it as ho thought he
had a duty to iwrform to home and

THE PICTURE TONIGHT.
As Reviewed by the "Bradsireet of
Filmdom."
' ? .
"Wids," better known as "Uradstreet
of Fllmjlom" an independent publica
tion for theatre managers, wlio gives
absolutely unbiased reviews of all
photo-plays, has the ^following review
of 'Tennessee's Pardner," the picture
nt Tho Majestic tonight:
"A -knowledge of lighting valnesr and
a particularly pleasing choice of loca
tions- has kept this production from
being ordihary. The pretty little star
is quite delightful in all of her scenes,
yet even the work of Miss Ward and
a capable supporting company would
not have made this a realljp llwortli
wM'e" production without the artistry
of these locations and lightings.
"The story follows closely the old
stage melodrama, and as such, holds
only" an ordinary amount of Interest
Tho situations have been well played
and, as much as possible, have been
done a bit differently so that they are
quite acceptable.
"After the work of Miss Ward comes
the work of Raymond Ilatton as Ge
willlger Hay, the funny little hotel
proprietor, who always wanted to lie. !
"i' I. c cSot hwo been it el* i uubc S, HU'W
ever, and they make the most of the
material at hand. ;
"We had some unusually fine light
ing effects Jn the interiors, and almost
every exterior used was particularly
beautiful. The amber tint Which Is
used op all Lasky sunlight scenes help
ed materially lq emphasizing the ar
tistry of many of these unusually well
chosen exteriors. . <,
*!l believe "Tennessee's Pardner" will
surely provide pleasing'entertainment,
and without question, It la more than
'worth while.1 M
