PERFECT FITTING GUARANTEED In a Canteen Dr DOROTHY DOUGLAS (Copyright, \0\i, by th? MoClur* N*w** pap*r Syndloat*. ) "It seems too bat! to drag you out, Melon. " began-Dorls Vail, In a coaxing tone, "but you know Tuesday 1? my day at tbe fan teen." "Don't mind rue, dear," Helen qulek ly replied. "I'd love to stay here In your room and Just read and be la/.y. You've entertained me to death since 1 fame here." The girls wer? In the gray antl rose sitting room that Doris' mother let her have for her own. They had had their breakfast and were putting on their ? port clothes for an hour of golf. Suddenly Doris looked up from the task Of lacing her boots. "I have It? I'll borrow Qenevleve'S uniform and you shall be a real canteen worker! It'll be lots of fun. Will you?" Helen demurred. She was not mueh interested in canteen!ngl-1-Hll iW&t .'Olla fhls side of the Atlantic ocean. All that life held of real Interest to her at pres ent dwelt In a uniform somewhere in France, and because the said some one had no dependents and had. 4io allot ments for the country to pay, he seemed to be one of the chosen few to have to remain on foreign soil. Helen had not even heard from him for weeks. The sight of soldiers who had been fortunate enough to get home would only make her home lonely. "1 really would rather stay at home, Doris," she said. "Iteally." "Oh, that's too pokey: And besides, we need you. I Just happened to re member that Genevieve won't be home till tomorrow, and you shall take her place and wear her uniform. It's a 1:1! ' . Appeared In the Doorway., (tack of a blue overall with black pat ent belt and white frilly collar and cap." ?Helen saw that she would hftVe to go. Perhaps It wouldn't be po bad. "All right. I'll do my best, but do leave me In the pantry to mnke salads- and don't make me wait on table." "We'll see about that, dear. You're far too pretty to be poked off In a pantry. H Doris waved off the flattery and donned her hat. "Hurry, Helen, If we're going to have any golfing before we go to this canteen place. Where Is It, any way?" "Oh, across the Island a bit ? over at Hempstead, near Field 2." "Wherever that may be," mumbled Doris, who came from the middle West 11# (1 to whom Long Island meant very little. At three o'clock the two girls were neatly attired In their blue canteen aprons, and with two other workers, were being driven In a comfortable closed car to the bungalow on Meadow Btreet, where soldiers and officers found rest and recreation as well as good home-cooked meals. When they stepped Into the big lounge flclen could not restrain an ex cjamatlon of enthusiasm. "How won derfully pretty, Doris." Doris knew that her guest would fall In love with the place once she had seen It. "Yes ? we think It Is most at tractive." "Attrnctlve! I should say it was. I've never seen sny thing so perfectly arranged and so prettily decorated In my life. And every big comfy chair has a table beside It with a book ftrd a drop llgtft. Isn't the scheme of blue and yellow effectlvef And Helen raved on, moving from one corner to another of the canteen nnd exclaiming anew at every turn. Prom the blue bowls of yellow flowers to the blue and yellow soft pillows that made the big lounge look invitingly homelike, she was enthusiastic to her utmost. After a while, when the workers had arranged the tables, attended to the cutting of the bread and filling of the water RlaKRea, a stray soldier or two dropped In for an early dinner or a bite of extra food. Helen worked as if the had been brought up to fant this sort of house ! work anrf made a charming and deft wait re**. When there waa a loll in the work the girl# sat together In the pantry and At* i fciuniwi. il or folded paper nap kins and Had a good time togethor, "< Im of my soldiers ftt? fuur VflfWi* laugiiiHl iHirlk "Ami I had a boy who hftd two platM of that meat pie, and you know how much Kllse puts on for a portion. I nearly pas*t>d away when I took hla order for a second portion. "Oh, I hoar some one In the oMcer's rooin now! Who'll go? You go, Helen. You haven't worked so hard." wnld I>(?rls, pushing her friend forward. Tin- officer's room was Just off the big dining room amfhad a door lead ing directly Into It from the porch. Doris, being a regular worker, knew that there came to that room occasion ally u fat and grouchy major whom they nil disliked to wait upon. There fore, In Heleu's Ignoranco -or Inno cence ? she had taken advantage of her and the girls were all laughing qulotly about It. Helen was gone so long that they began to wonder what was keeping her. "it must have been the major, and he's explaining Just how long he wants his toast tonstqfd ami his eggs boiled," remarked Doris. "It's taking a long time tonight," added another girl.' "Suppose you Just happen out that way ? and look," said another. "Let's nil go," whispered I>orls. "We can pretend we're fixing the tables." They all started In the direction of the officers' lounge and looked care tessly in. There was no fat, grouchy major. There was no Helen I ~ The girls looked nt each other. "I certainly heard some one go In there," Doris said. "And ? your friend Helen?" question ed one of the girls who had envied the newcomer her prettlness. "I ? I can't Imagine," began Doris. "Oh. listen !" ?'Yes ? I hear voices!" exclaimed two of I he girls In unison, out on the porch, dimly lit from the yellow lights within, they heard Helen's voice. Then they heard a man speak. Doris frit, it her duty to go to the door. She lmd hardly expectetV Helen to break the rules this way. . "Oh? a?Helen." she called softly. Just then Helen, flushed and happy, her eyes sparkling like twin stars, her dimples coming and going, appeared In tho doorway, arm In arm With a big khaki-clad captain, with overseas stripes and a wouud stripe? and an equally beaming face. "It's ? It's Hob, Doris ? ^apt. Robert Haverford, MIsh Doris Vail," Helen managed to explain! Introductions folio wed, and the cap tain explained that he had Just arrived from France, that he had sent a tele gram out to Ohio to Inform Helen of his corning, and be had Just wandered Into this attractive canteen for a bit of supper, being too tired to eat with the fellow officers at camp. "And the little canteen worker who came to wait on you prvved to be your fiancee?" laughed Doris. "It sounds Just like a story, and I c?n hardly be lieve it is real. Girls, shall we let Helen eat with him and we'll all wait on them?" ? ? And Ellse, the cook did herself proud on the extras she added to the plates of the two lovers who had found each other so romantically. "Faith, and be Jabbers, I was young mysel' once," she said when they told her. ' Youth's Supreme Sincerity. Children and fools tell the truth, and few of us can comfortably en dure the candid eyes of childhood, fixed upon us in amazed surprise at our social Insincerities. It was a child and not a courtier who saw that the king, strutting amid his court in the garments made by the wicked q?aglclan, had nothing on. Our chil dren, beholding us In our undraped moral ugliness, speak out as is the witless way of their world. Luckily children forgive us our sins of misun derstanding, forgive Us even pur Inept attempts to understand them by med dlesome supervision and vain cate chlslryj. We know in our truest mo ments that we can hardly show the best that Is In us to anyone else, be cause It Is too precious for display, Just as w^, have a sure test for our best deeds In that we give ourselves no credit for them, seek no reward of public fame or Mr. Carnegie's hero fund. Yet we expect our children to wear their hearts tupon their sleeves. Lear's dumb Cordelia remains for all time the type of youth's sacred and silent sincerity. ? Exchange. Oath of Allegiance.
