'-l2l'l'1-WO again and finally ventured to peer over. The same sounds of confusion were coming from the opposite trench that he was hearing all around him. Suddenly, it dawned on him that they too were having assembly. He climbed upon a machine gun carriage and looked out on the brown field lying between the two trenches. It was covered with shell holes and mine creators, a pic- ture of the desolation which prevails all through No man's land. It was such a relief from the continual roar of bat- tle, this peace, this quietness. He leaned back and en- joyed the relaxation and tried to account for it all. He took a battered diary from his pocket and then put it back without looking at it. What good would it do- he did not even know what day of the week it was. All at once he heard, borne to his ears by the west wind, that grand old Easter anthem, the burden of which is Christ is risen, Christ is risen. He hath burst his bonds in twain. Christ is risen, Christ is risen Alle- luia swell the strain . Then Private Adams knew. This was Easter day. Her Easter Bonnet By Mary Moore IT is the day before Easter-the busiest day of the year for the little millinery shop which is crowded to the extent of its capacities with Women-all talking at once, bargaining and trying on hats. In struts a portentious looking individual with a haughty and don't-talk-back-to-me manner. My, what a crowd! Dear me! I don't see why in the world they have such a little coop for a hat store. They'd get twice as much trade if they would only move into a respectable place. At least I know they would get more of my trade. Say, where are all the clerks anyway? I can't wait here all night! I've got to get home and fix the children's Easter eggs and order my groceries and--I never did see why everybody always waits until the last minute to choose an Easter bonnet. lfpuge tenl

Not that he wanted to crawl out of the warm nest he had made for himself with some straw and old blankets for there was a cold grey mist over everything and a chilling west wind that cut to the bone, but he knew that at this un- holy hour, The Bosches were most likely to cut up. So he responded cheerfully to the call. As he walked knee deep in the mud to his place on the firing line he drew deep breaths of air that for all the west wind felt decidedly springy and gave promise that old winter was fast falling and that summer would soon be here. Feeling much refreshed he took his place in the line wondering how many of the brave fellows around him would be missing on the morrow. Unexpectedly, from the German trenches opposite came an unfamiliar bugle call. Almost simultaneously assembly rang out from behind his own regiment. Assembly! What for? He had not the slightest idea and he was not destined to know immediately, for he was one of those detailed for guard duty. As the soldiers went jostling through the communi- cation trenches to the living dugouts in the rear he lifted his hat on a gun above the top of the trench. To his surprise, the customary storm of snipers' bul- lets failed to come. Mystified, he raised it again and lpage ninel

Oh, say, clerk! Can't you wait on me, now? I've been standing on my feet here until 'Im ready to drop! My, what sassy clerks they do have here. The idea of her speaking to me in that tone of voice-why, one would think she was the Queen of Sheba. Oh, at least I'm going to be waited on. Well, if there isn't Mrs. Stone! Why, my dear Mrs. Stone, what are you doing in this jam? Isn't it just terrible? I was just- Well, I declare, it's funny that you're so anxious to wait on me all of a sudden, clerk. Well, I think I'd like something bright and Frenchy in a-well-you might let me look at a turban. Oh, horror! That would never do in the world! I should think if you had any artistic sense about you at all, you could see that that didn't suit my face. That hat on the high pedestal is quite pretty but it would not go a bit well with my suit-Madam, will you please re- frain from waving that hideous plume in my face. The idea! And stop your pushing for heaven's sake! Can't you see we're squashed in here like sardines as it is? Say, clerk, let me see that hat with the white wing. No! Not that one! The one in the corner. Can't you understand plain English? I mean that hat with the bird on next to the corner one. Well, how do you ex- pect me to see straight with so many heads in the way. No, that doesn't suit me either. I want something soft to harmonize with my complexion. Let's see that old rose hat. Why, it's all soiled! A dirty hat in an Easter display! Well, I declare! Now, that blueish one's rather sweet, but it wouldn't do for every day wear. Mrs. Stone, that brown sailor over there would match your suit exactly. Why, it certainly is the shade of your suit. Do you mean to tell me that's orange? Well, I never knew I was color blind before! Dear me, if I ran this store, it would certainly be run differently from this! Say, Mrs. Stone, wasn't that a homely hat that Mrs. McBride had on at the tea? She's so unattractive looking anyhow, and that hat made her look hideous! What? She is your cousin? Oh, I beg your pardon, Mrs. Stone. She is a dear, lovely woman, I know. But since her illness she does look rather pale. Say, clerk, hand me that white straw one. Dear, but i.t's homely when you get up close to it, isn't it? lpage elevenl -i2l'l1-'WO
