; OVERHEARD: "That’s a bad cough you have. Allen.” "No matter ... It isn’t the cough that carries you off . . . it’s the coughin’ they carries you off’n . . .” —o— "ALL GAUL IS DIVIDED” is the name of a book ... a series of let ters from France . . . smuggled out . . . written to Mrs. Dwight Morrow . . . The letters range in subject matter from the Underground Rail way (similar to that in our coun try during slave days) to the va rious reactions of the French to their German conquerors . . . Frenchmen (All Gaul) can be di vided into three groups: the Real ists, who think there is no hope and so cooperate and associate with the Germans; the Sentimentalists, who will have nothing to do with the present state of affairs (one Senti mentalist said she had never seen a German . . she had seen plenty of German boots, but by keeping her eyes strictly on the ground, she had never seen a German!); and lastly, the Militarists . . . who are proud of De Gaulee and are taking active part in resistance to the Ger mans . . . Families are divided so that in many instances their dif ferences of opinion of the subject of cooperation with Germany have caused the members of the families to separate, even to move their liv ing quarters . . .

They were showing friends around the place, explaining their plans for gardens, etc. . . when a man passed by and called to the colored boy who was working in the yard. “That’s a mighty fine house you all got there!” said the passerby.

You ain’t go ing to hang your washing in the front yard, is you?” “No suh. We’s done planned on that. We goin to take care of that all right.” “How you going to take care of washing if you don’t hang it in the yard? What you going to take care of it with? That’s what I wants to know.” “We got something,” insisted the boy. “What is it? And where is it? I don’t see nothing,” taunted the man, seeing the boy was uncertain of his ground. “It’s right there in the back yard,” said the boy, “And you can come right in and see it if you wants to. We going to put all our dirty clothes in the “cinerator!” —o— ONCE THERE WAS A COUPLE who asked a Charleston waitress if South Sarolina was a “dry” state and she answered that she didn’t know, but she would go ask the bar-tender . . . Now we’ve heard of another coupto -who asked the waitress what she recommended for lunch and she told them to be sure to take the baked chicken.
