This particular lady was following out to a great length the desires of President Wilson because inder the very sheer white wsist her mmisole of pink displayed light blue ribbons.

A pretty compliment for one to show the mother, sister or sweetheart of a friend in service ia to send them a serv. Ire pin.

My Dear Bon I Your letter for last ireek did not come and thi is the middle of the week aad I have aot heard from vou so I aa afraid that yoa have either forgottea m or that yoa are sick on or the other. I doat know whether I would hear if you are tick until yoa were dying, so I keep all apeet either wsy. Robert Vincent write so oftsa to his mother that I am ashamed to tell her that I --have not' heard from you, and when she told m the ether day that Bobert wrote that you were out en the rifle range I pretended that t already kaew it. Bob ert ha a job ia the office and like it very much. X wish yoa had -gotten something like that. I doat think yea wer ver aggressive enough and others always teek the best positions-.,. The allotment for last month did aot com, and I have had to fill in one of the signed checks you left me. I doat want to worry you, but I cer tainly think that soma way ought to be made to have the allotments paid promptly. Why doat yoa complain ot it. I doat See how we are going to get along thit winter. Coal is 111 a ton aad labor is so scare that they don't know when they will deliver it. James ia out oa the road now aad we have heard nothing from him. If he does not do something to help tout I think I will have to keep boarder or go to work.l hate to keep boarders i because they are hard to please, and things are so ' high, and I have worked so long taking cars of you children I have for gotten everything I could make a liv ing with. Doat ' yott worry, because you were good to me as long as you stayed out of the army, but I believe if yoa had tried hard enough yoa could nave gotten exempted. The Bed Cross Is getting a lot of things ready for the soldier over there or ia France. They ask everybody to come Out 1 just can't. It makes me aiek to see so moch done when you know thst half of it it not going to do any good, so many of the soldiers thst are wounded doat get well. I decided to stay at home aad take care of my own business. Nobody seems .to be worrying about how I get alone You boyt must hare a good time ia the Y. W. C. A. hostess house.

I just looked her hard in the eye and said, "Yes, soldiers tlway had a big batch of pic tares made up and sent them around promiscuously." I hope you are not carrying on any flirtation with her be' cause she is out with some soldier or some boy every night and she seems to baring a nughty good tune, The) Balfour is a favorite with men of all ages. You see, besides comfort and style it brings with it the famous Walk-Over Quality. Look at its fine, thoroughbred lines and then take a peep back at the price.

I wat more than armised at ths description of all your various duties. You have turh wonderful de ecriptive power thst I verily believe that you will be a writer when you corns back to use. I feci that you were more than good to me, for I am sure thst you are tired after all the drills and hikings and would much ratW go to the Y. W. C. A. hostess house for a bite to eat and s pleasant chat with the pretty girl at tendants, or to the Y. M. C. A. for an entertainment, where all you would be called upon to do, would be to lounge and listen. I feel always sure thst if anything is wrong, you were not well, or there was anything particular I could do, you would have me notified at once, so while I am always glad-hilarious I should say to get a letter with the tri angle in the corner of the envelope, and a little disappointed when too long a time passe without bringing ens, I knew that everything is all right. Of course I know that you will neither re- reive nor arnd any mail until you re turn from the rifle practice.

While reading the letter ef hi mother, I was boiling over with wrath, but I was duly im pressed with the fart that a soldier re ceiving that sort of letter in the same mail with Mary Fellows' letter would read it once and put it away or teat it up, aad would keep snd read the letter of his brave little fiancee over and over again. The regret of it is, however, that there are some boys who have no Mary Fellows and get oo let ters but the ones written by the moth er. -Sometimes these letters have a dis astrous effect on the boy' work and in someT instance a boy who hs.d aot al-lewed-fetmself to get away from all of it sufficiently to become s real soldier, getting s letter of that type has taken hi own life ia desperation. I am finishing this up with a copy of a latter from the major of a battal ion to which a friend of mine was at tanhed. The boy in thi ease had nei ther mother, father, sister, brother, nor fiancee and gave my add rent aa hit nearest of kin.
