Never before had the minuet been more charmingly done than by these two young people as the wind in the pines outside rustled an accompanying strain of music. At the conclusion of the dance the young man escorted the demure maiden to her chair and spoke: For the sake of the lady who first wore this gown, keep this little gift as a token of my visit. He dropped into her small, white hand a brooch of wonderful design and beauty. The pines rustled suddenly and the young man was gone. The girl looked up at the portrait above her just as the handsome soldier settled himself for another long wait over the mantel. The young lady stirred and glanced at something she held clasped in her hand. It was the brooch. Now, had Emmy Lou been asleep that lazy spring day, or had a spirit been awakened by the sight of a TwentiethfCentury maiden in an Eightf eenthfCentury gown. THE DREAM SEA Robert Armistead I meet her every night on the shore of the Sea, The Sea of Shifting Dreams. And together, hand in hand, over the dancing waves We sail, laughing and carefree as the birds. Into this fairy cove and around that mysterious cape Until we have sailed the magic Sea o'er. I meet her every night on Dream Sea's shore And sail the whole night through, but the first Rosy tint of dawn calls us back to harbor Before the glaring Day shall catch us And capsize our Dream Boat.

At the foot of the stairs Emmy Lou seated herself and looked up at a large, almost lifefsize portrait of a young man in splendid Colonial dress. The picture, conceded to be a true work of a master, had held its place over the mantel since the days of the Revolution. As she looked, a soft breeze, laden with the odor of apple blossoms, came in through the open door, and the girl fancied that she saw the lace on the young man's cuff stir gently. Like the caress of a fairy, the breeze touched Emmy Lou's cheek. The small, dark head rested on the back of the chair and the blue eyes closed peacefully until the breeze was gone. Of a sudden, opening her eyes to the sunlight again, this surprising lady in her dainty gown stared silently as the handsome young man stepped down from his picture and stood bow' ing before her. Seating himself opposite the greyfblue gown, the young man spoke softly, This is indeed a pleasure. I haven't seen that gown since Mistress Janet Rosslyn bade goodfbye to Washington and our company just before I was killed in battle. How well I remember how she looked that day as she waved goodbye. I loved her and might have won her but for my ill uckf' For a few seconds the grey eyes of the young gallant took on a far' away look, then he continued, But I'll not grudge the bit I gave to America. See that chair by yonder window? 'Twas there that General Washington himself sat when he said, 'So I am the Fox? Well, we shall see whether the Fox outwits the Hunterf But come, this is idle talk.

I -,, Su ' ...A..., .......,.... .slllll STOOD in a long line of men that wound from the porch of the quarf termaster's storehouse, around several trees, to where I was standing by a messfhall. When I say that the line was of men, I flatter myself. It was of boys of my own age. The men in this line were there for only one reason: they had to be. Early that morning a glib gentleman had come around and persuaded us to check our civilian clothes until the end of camp, when they were to be returned, cleaned, and pressed for the consideration .of a dollar. After an hour's work this individual decamped with half of the battalion's clothes. My suit went with him wherever he went, and hence, I was standing in line in my shoes, socks, B. V. D.'s, and hat, and I wasn't the only one either. The line moved. It took me several minutes to find out, but I finally became convinced that it really did. Every time that I saw a man take a step on the porch I knew that I was one step farther from pneumonia and one step nearer a civilized state of being. Byfandfby, in fact a great many byfandfbys, I arrived somewhere near the head of the line. Before I had time really to observe the situation, some one shoved a piece of paper into my hand and told me to write my name in full upon it. Thusly coached, I inscribed in my best hand, Anson I. Arguef' A short time later, as I reached the head of the line, a burly sergeant took the slip from my hand and yelled, Argue, Anson I was just wondering about the sudden notoriety caused by the reading of my name, when someone-a different someone this time-gruffly com' mented Asleep? I shook my head. Step over here then. Being willing to oblige at all times, I stepped smartly over, not at all conscious of the fact that I had held the line up for a matter of a second. The gentleman in overalls who had beckoned to me along with his curt remark whipped a tape measure around me in various latitudes. Ask' ing me the size of my shoes, my collar, and my hat, he expounded this startling information, 7, 32, 36, 15, 7V4. Came an answer from across the veranda, 7, 32, 36, 15, Check, bellowed my tormentor. I was on the point of telling him that I had no checking account and would be unable to tender a check, when he shoved me into a large room opening' off the porch. One corner of this room was separated from the rest by a counter. Back of this counter, piled high, were great quantities of khaki clothing. A few men were laboring with bundles which they eventually carried to the counter, howling as they came upon strange names. 1 wb . 1 , I J? ' Q M, E ' - wa- : un, -' -in V
