I2 THE CONY CUE CContinued from page SD er this morning. Dicln't you know that obedience is the most essential thing in a Salvation Army Gii-l's life. Wfhy don't you work harder. Think of the struggles your folks have had to send you here to school. VVhy don't you apologize to the teacher for being so saucy, she has feelings as well as you. A true Salvation Army Lassie does not hurt anybody's feel- ings. Mary rubbed her eyes and looked all around her to see who was talk- ing to l1er. Just then, she heard the voice of the teacher, shrill with an- ger, Mary take this front seat and go to work, I didn't report you back here to go to sleep. Then Mary realized that the voice talking to her was only in a dream. The teacher thundered on, how could she apolo- gize to such a person. At last after waiting until every- body had been dismissed Mary had a chance to speak to her. I- I'm awfully sorry I was so saucy this morning, Miss Jones. I'll try to do better from now on. Miss Jones couldn't think what had happened to Mary. It was so unlike her to say she was sorry. But Mary went on, Don't you think that is a wonderful poster fpointing to the Salvation Army pos- terj asked Mary, Miss Jones could not see why Mary brought up the question about the poster immediately after apologizing. VV hy yes, Mary it is a nice one, but haven't you noticed it before ? No, never the same as I did this afternoon. I never understood it before. VVhen you spoke to me I was dreaming I guess someone was telling me my faults. I-Iereafter l'm going to try to be a Salvation Army Lassie, and am going to try and not loose my temper so easily. I'm also going to study harder and show them at home that I appreciate what they are doing for me and I'm also going to try and show my teachers my appreciation of. them. As Mary hnished her course in High school she proved that she could do if she wanted too. Mary Dowling. TRUE PATRIOTISM Helen Freeman, the daughter of a millionaire, could not understand why her fiance had not enlisted. Flags seemed to taunt her, and remind her - Jack is a slacker! All the men she knew were going-except jack. Even her own brother had decided long ago to enlist, why was not jack one of them? But nevertheless I-Ielen was doing her bit, and went to the Red Cross rooms often. One day while she was there work- ing, another girl, shabbily dressed, came in and sat down opposite her. That part of the table was in a corner, so they were somewhat away from the crowd, and all by themselves. I-Ielen did not notice her neighbor and kept on thinking of Jack- Oh, I'm ashamed of him, she was saying to herself- and he is so brave, and so fine-and yet he is nothing but a slacker. The girl opposite had been looking at Helen, and as she noticed how sad her expression was, finally spoke,
