At 11:80 that night twelve men, c

information and our machine guns im

was safe, but I was a nervous wreck
for an hour, until a drink of rum
brought me round.
CHAPTER XVIII.
Staged Under Fire.
Three days after the incident Just re
lated our company was relieved from
the front line and carried. We stayed
in reserve billets for about two weeks
when we received the welcome news
that our division would go back of the
line "to rest billets." We would re
main in thse billets for at least two
umonths, this in order to be restored to
our full strength by drafts of recruits
from Blighty.
Everyone was happy and contented
at these tidings; all you could hear
around the billets was whistling and
singing. The day after the receipt of
the order we hiked for five days, mak
ing an average of about twelve kilos
per day until we arrived at the small
town of 0'- .
It took us about three days to get
settled, and from then on our cushy
time started. We would parade from
8:45 in the morning until 12 noon.
Then except for an occasional billet
or nrigade guard we were on our own.
For the. first four or five afternoons I
spent my time In bringing up to dite
my neglected correspondence.
Tommy loves to be amused, and be
ing a Yank, they turned to me for
something new in this line. I taught
them how to pitch horseshoes, and this
game made a great hit for about ten
lays. Then Tommy turned to Amer.
lea for a new diversion, I was up in
the air until a happy thought came to
me. Why not write a sketch and break
Tommy in as an actor?
One evening after "lights out," when
you are not supposed to talk, I Impart
ed my scheme in whispers to the sec
tion. They eagerly accepted the idea
of forming a stock company and
could hardly wait until the morning
for further details.
After parade, the next afternoon I
was almost mobbed. Everyone in the
section wanted a part in the proposed
sketch. When I informed them that it
would take at least ten days of hard
work to write the plot, they were bit
terly disappointed. I immediately got
husy, made a desk out of biscuit tins
in the corner of the billet, and put up
a sign "Empey & Wallace Theatrical
Co." About twenty of the section,
upon reading this sign, immediately
apilied for the position of ollice boy.
I accepted the twenty applicants, and
sent them on scouting parties through
out the deserted French village. These
parties were to search all the atties for
dliscarrded civilian clothes, and any
tingIL that we could use in the prCops
of ou r propo'sed company.
About fIve that nlight they returned)

ment of everything under the sun.
They must have thought that I was~
going to start a dlepartmnent store,
judging from the diff'erenit things they
broug~ht back from their pillage.
After eight (lays' constant writing I
completed a two-act farce comedy
wvhich I called "The Diamond Palace
Saloon." Upon the suggestion of one
of the b hoys in the sect~ion I sent a proof
of the program to a printing house ir
London. Then I alssgined the dlifferent
parts and started rehearsing. D)avid
lielasco wvould have thrown up his
hands in despaIr at the material which1
I had to use. Just imoaginme trying tc
teauch a Tomnmy, wIthb a st rong cockney
accenit, to limplersonate a Bowery tougi
or a Southern negro.
Adjiacenut to our hillet was an open
field. We got busy at one endl of it and
constrmucteod a stage. We seecured the
Ilimber for thle stage by demolishing
an old wooden shack in the rear of
our billet.
The~ first scene was supposed to rep
- csent a street on the Blowery in New~
York, while the scene of the second
act was the interior of the Dianmond
Palace saloon, also on the Bowery.
In the play I took the part of Abe
Switch, a farmer, who had conic froni
Pumpkinville Center, Tfenn., to make
his first visit to New York.
In the first secne Abe Switch meets
tile proprietor of the Diamond Palace
Saloon, a ramshackle affair which to
the owner was a financial loss.
The proprietor's name was Tomr
Twistem, his bartender being named
Fillem Up.
After meeting Abe, Tom and Fillemr
Up persuadled him to buy the place,
praising it to the skies and telling
wondrous tales of the money taker
over the bar.

aspire to in our apparel-simplicity,
style, refinement, originality-all with
in the boundaries set by the season's
modes, and they are not out of the
reach of women of ordinary means.
It is hard to point out just what
gives distinction to a frock as simple
in design as that worn by the girl sit
ting at the left. It lies in the choice
of material, in good hues and in the
wide band of embroidery about the
skirt with its motif repented to inish
the neck. Khaki-kool, or similar fab
rics, would be a good choice for it,
or some of the heavy weaves in silk or
satin that are supple like those made
for the handsomest sports skirts. The
embroidery is done in the color of the
dress with touches of black or a dark
color introduced. Oyster-shell white,
gray or sand colow are good choices for
this dress.

Millinery Styles.
There are definite characteristics to

millinery and the styles of the season
are almost all charming. There seems,
in fact, to be an ol)vious dismissal of
weird and freakish shapes and trim
mings, and a firm adherence to those
that are truly attractive and beauti
