GERMANS RAID VILLAGES Signs Over Dispensaries in Villages Shown Winnetka is the Donor. (Continued from page 1) cave I must go—I hear ,the guns go- ing—after looking out I decided to take a • chance—that is what we Americans are apt to do—but the Cave is so dark and chilly and I am not dressed. Last Wednesday the Germans sent gas bombs where our boys were in the trenches, in one small town 25 were killed instantly and more were crippled by continual coughing. We wear our masks over our shoulders Wednesday and Satur- day, for on these days we work with- in 200 metres of the German trenches. Yesterday I did my first operation, while doing so the guns were firing continually, they say that this town will be absolutely riddled by the Ger- man guns. It has been a beautiful town, but now it makes one think of the city of the dead! "There are several small towns ad- joining where there is still quite a large civilian population; in these towns I learned that my coming had been announced by the town crier. M. Mirman is so overjoyed with our work and its results that he wants everyone to take advantage of it. Yesterday, he insisted in taking me to one of the towns to show me off! I called on two old ladies who are very ill; one, 90 years old who is dying, the other 72. "Everyone here with a nice home has stowed away their paintings and furniture and gone to the south of France, leaving only caretakers to look after things. It takes us an hour to drive to this town a d since we began our work many changes have occurred. The road is a constant stream of moving troops—the coun- try is so beautiful—some portions look like California—last Tuesday a light snow fell which made the moun- tains, stand out in a bright, clear out- line. "Thursday was St. Nicholas Day— the patron saint of Lorraine—a day celebrated as we do Christmas. We were invited to lunch with Mine. Jalard of Champigueulle. We have a clinic at C------ every Monday and Thursday mornings. The Jalards have a beautiful home surrounded by four acres of ground, everything we had for luncheon was raised on the place. There wqs 'a very distinguished guest asked to meet us, a Captain B——, later a lieutenant, who is one of the General's aids came bringing the iGeneral's compliments and grati- tude for the wonderful work we are doing for the civil ppulation. The captain has asked us to visit his camp next Sunday at D------. he is to have some music for us. The lieu- tenant invited us to a theater party on the twenty-third—the soldiers are to give it, we #o with the Jalards. Mine. Jalard has been so kind, it was she who put the flowers in the dis- pensary on our arrival. She has three children : a son 18, one 11, and a little girl of six. Her home has been the home of so many officers and men since the war began she has many souvenirs, autographs, cartoons of all the phases of life pertaining to the war, post-cards, etc. She'has lost two fine-looking brothers in the war. "The Secretary-General is having a man look for a furnished apartment for us—then we will have a servant and keep house-*that is, •{ we ^an get coai aim wood, uchcku cran- ing has sent ouc a warning to ail Americans in France to economize on fuel and gasoline. We keep our sitting-room ar oO and my oeu-rowni is 40, so you see we are getting ac- customed to the cold temperature that the French endure. "It was so nice on coming home last night to find the letters from home, two from you with Miss Gil- lespie's enclosed, one from Margaret Herdman and one from Mrs. Case.

He had received the information from her—in a gen- eral way—there were times in a girl's life when the man who appeals to her must be of the general type of a senior in college; and*that—generally speaking—if a girl feels that way, the best thing she can do may be—in genera!—to "wait" for that senior. Generally speaking, she added, she believed so. As Mr, Bitts walked gloomily down the street he passed a grocer's wagon which bore the title, "Jacob R. Krish & Co." Attached to the wagon was an elderly bay horse, and attached to the elderly bay horse was a black tail. And on the other side of the horse, concealed from the view of Mr. Bitts, stood two boys, staring morbidly at the black tail. "Yes, sir," said Sam Williams, "a nigger told me that the reason mine never turned to a snake was because you have to keep it three weeks with- out ever lookin' at it. If you look at it even once, just to see how it's gettin' along, it's spoiled. Well, we kept lookin' at 'em—a hundred times a day, I bet—and that's what was the matter with 'em! That's why they didn't turn." "Mine woulda!" insisted Penrod laterly. "There wasn't anything wrong with mine. Mine woulda turned, any way I" Mr. Ethelbert Magsworth Bitts did not overhear this conversation. And if he had, he could not have under- stood it. Much less could he have traced any connection between a hair from the tail of Jacob R. Kirsh's elderly horse and the fact that Ethel- bert Magsworth Bitts was destined to remain unwillingly a bachelor.

"a :a:...! »t o'T po.'nt*. tion of a window, which was "down from the top." Crimson, infuriated, Penrod turned upon his dumbfounded sister. "You ruined my snake!" he bleated. "You watch what I do to your old gold fish!" He darted out of her detaining fingers, and though she pursued, and Robert Williams pursued, and Ethel- bert Magsworth Bitts pursued, he had seized upon the bowl of gold fish and was out in the hall with it before the hand of man—or girl—could be laid upon him. On the hall table reposed two straw hats; one was Robert's; the other, which bore the mark of a London maker, was the hat of Ethelbert Magsworth Bitts. Margaret, rushing through the doorway, uttered a lamentable outcry. But Penrod discriminated nothing between these hats. With a mi,ghty effort he heaved, the bowl of gold fish upside down and poured water and fish as equally as he could into the two hats. Then he threw the empty bowl boldly into the stomach of Ethelbert Magsworth Bitts, his nearest pur- suer, and with a great and demented roaring, dashed out of the open door and cometed away into space. "Ugh !"said Mr. Bitts. and remained where he was. two hands upon the ar»a ot contact. But Robert Williams ran swutly uut upon the front porch where a colored boy, with a bucket of soapy water in one hand, and a scrubbing brush in the other, stood gazing in the direction of Penrod's evanishment. Robert seized upon the bucket and was back in the hall, and had the gold-fish in the soapy water almost instantly, flopping rather feebly, but alive. "Quick!" he said to Margaret. "Get a pail of clear water. I don't know if they can live in these suds more than a minute. Don't stand there! Hurry!" And when she returned with the pail he whispered to her: "I'll bring you another glass bowl for them this afternoon. Don't fret!" "My hat!" said Mr. Bitts. "I be- lieve that little brute has ruined it. I declare it's too bad." That was why Margaret went walk- in,*?, a little later, instead of driving. And yet Ethelbert had given her the ro'd-fish in the fir-t place!
