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

"< Im of my soldiers ftt? fuur VflfWi*

"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.
The onth of allegiance which nat
uralized citizens of the United States
take before receiving thefr second pa
pers admitting them to full citizenship,
Is as follows : "I hereby declare on
oath that I absolutely and entirely re
nounce and abjure all allegiance and
fidelity to any foreign prince, poten
tate or sovereignty and particularly to
? (the ruler and the country from
which he came), of whom I have here
tofore been a subject; that I will sup
port and defend the Constitution and
laws .of the United States of America
against all enemies, foreign or domes
tic; and that I will bear true faith and
allegiance to the same."
