He ex acted to be packed off to ,Franco that very Evening, so the two meant making tho ut Biot of the fast-speeding hours. The In UUInce Department had assimilated all the Information Dalroy could give, had found It good, and had complimented him.

Many eyes followed them as they crossed Trafalgar Square and dodged tho traffic towing around the base of King Charles's Utue. An alert recruiting sergeant. Clinching tho argument, pointed out tho tall, well-groomed officer to a lanky youth whose soul was almost afire with martial decision.

Dalroy himself, an experienced soldier, though he had watched thoso grim columns Pouring through the valley of the Meuse, yielded momentarily to tho vision splendid. He longed to bo there, taking part In tho drive. Instead, he was being sent to Bel gium, some shrewd head In tho War OIIlco having decided that his linguistic powers. Joined to a recent first-hand knowledge of local conditions, would be far moro profit ably employed In Flanders than as a squadron leader In France. Thus, when that day of mellow autumn had sped all too swiftly, and he had said his last good-by to Irene, It was to Dover he went, being ferried thenco to Ostend In a destroyer, In those early weeks of the war alUEng land was agog with tho belief that Antwerp would prove a rankling thorn In the ribs of the Germans, while men in high places eherfflh tYin flaltialnn thnt n flank attack & a possible along tho Ostend-Bruges-Brus-;L els line. out Dalroy was an eminently sane per son.

JOHN HARVEY KELLOGQ Porches WEE hfon building porches on our houses ever slnco building began, so ono may suppose that wo will continue to include them In our plans for come tlmo to como. But let us not look on a porch as a requirement to mako a house look llko a houso or In order that It should bo llko Its neighbors: let us, rather, think Just why and Whcro WO WOlild llkn tn Imvn tho nnrnli and then so design and place It to meet our particular purposes. We wish our houhes to look well nnd our designs and plans aro mado partly to that end, but moro than this or nnj other con. slderatlon we design nnd build our houses to llvo in. During tho warm summer months wo 'like to spend much of our tlmo in the open air, so If wo havo placed our porch with regard to a pleasant view and tho proper exposure It will become, during these months, an exceedingly pleasant outdoor living room. So wo should consider the porch as an Important part of the first-floor nlan and not merely a means of decoration for tne exterior. a porcn at tno cntranco or a house is a matter of preference; unless It Is combined with tho main porch it should be small, as It serves only tho purpose of affording a llttlo protection to ono standing at tho door. A projecting cornice or hood over tho door will answer this purposo Just as well. Quito often, when the lot Is narrow, it Is found that from a consideration of ex posure tho best position for the porch is on tho rear of the house, In which cnto tho proper thing to do would bo to put the porch on tho rear, facing the back yard. But why should It overlook tho back yard; why should it not overlook a cool, shady garden? A trellis overgrown with vines would com pletely obscure a small kitchen yard, nnd so tho remnlnder of tho yard could bo planted A doorway of Co lonial typo; a deli cately modeled hood with trellis work on each side; entirely sufficient as an en trance porch. Trellis work Is a happy motif to use, for two reasons: It afTords a placo for vines nnd flow ers to cling nnd casts beautiful shadows. Of course, on rainy days but wo stay inside then so it doesn't matter, or else wo aro in such hasto as to have no timo anyway for the contemplation of things esthetic. and laid out to afford a pleasant view from tho porch and not only so, but wo would mako for ourselves still moro outdoor space In which to llvo. When tho cxposuro or other considera tion makes It ndvlsabln to nlnco the uorch on tho front of tho house, wo should do what wo can to glvo It some privacy by removing It to one side away from the cntranco door nnd having It open from the living room and by placing tho house as far back from the street as possible. When tho lot Is wldo enough to nllow It. It Is generally good to placo the porch on tho sldo of tho house nnd opening from the living room or dining room or from both. Tho porch, as Is now often done, can bo mndo Into a most comfortablo nnd Bunny room for the winter by enclosing It with Fash aud providing It with heat. When thli Is done, tho s.iBh should bo so held In placo that It can easily be removed In the Bum mer, when screens will take Us place.

Wednesday Tho llatlirooiu ASMILC In to the body what sunshine Is to flowers. Under tho influence of an atmosphere of smiles the body flourishes; every bodily function Is promoted by the mental attitude associated with an honest smile. This Is true both of the ono who smiles nnd of thoso who are smiled upon. The effects of a smile, a real smile, the expression of a happy or benignant stato of ralnd, are not confined to tho face. Under its influence, all tho bodily forces take on new llfo nnd energy. Lnnge, nn eminent Danish physiologist, has demon strated that Joyful emotions heighten tho activity of nil tho, bodily functions. .Under tho inlluenco of a cheerful mental state, the small arteries dilate and Increase tho blood supply to every bodily organ. Tho heart beats stronger, tho brain thinks clearer, the lungs breathe deeper, tho stomach secretes and digests better, tho eyes brighten, tho cheeks glow, tho whole, body prospers nnd rejoices llko a flower garden bathed In morning sunshine. So It's healthy to smile. It pays ono to keep oneself In good smiling trim, so to speak, so that tho smile Is habitual. But ono may smllo effectively oven If ono does not feol altogether happy. Indeed, ono may use the smile ns a lever by which to lift oneself out of a deep pit of gloom and despair. Grief, hopelessness, fear, apprehension, alt gloomy emotions, dry up tho springs of life. They contrnet the bloodcells, shut off tho blood supply of the organs, stop tho secretions, so mako tho mouth dry and the tongue coated, destroy digestion, cause con stipation, stop tho flow of milk In a nursing mother; In fact, paralyzo all tho llfo functions, So when ono meets with misfortune or disappointment he should smite as tho best means of mitigating evils of tho situation. By this means, ono may nt lenst prevent the evil physical effects upon his own body. A smile, oven when forced, produces pro found effects If persisted hi. It Is a fair psychologic question whether wo smllo be causo wo are happy or aro happy because wo smllo, It Is probablo that both proposi tions aro true. Tho smllo "strikes tn," so to speak. Ono cannot maintain a mental ttato of hopelessness and gloom whllo keep ing a constant smile upon his face. The smllo chases tho gloom away, nnd as tho cloud lifts, tho fetters break and all tho springs of l)fe leap out with fresh vigor and force A man out west who owns a $10,000 hen told tho writer that ho nlways discharges a man who scolds the hens. Ito trains his men to speak cheerfully and gently to his hens, to smllo nt them, That Is, tho poultry man smiles, this makes the hens smllo, and n smiling hen lays moro eggs. So it pays to smile. It's hcnlthy to smllo. Thero's good physiology as well ns philo sophy In tho old adage, "Laugh and grow fat." Snuggling in the Sand A SEASON or two ago I was visiting with a dear llttlo old lndy from Ohio, who had never been nt tho seaside before. She watched the romping bathing girls In their abbreviated skirts nnd alecveless waists, her near sighted eyes peer ing In horrified nmnaement at the fnmlllarlty between them and the near ly naked mon, who lifted them over the brenkers or put their hands under tho glrjs' shoulders p r e s u m a bly to tench' them how to swim. "Well, I necr saw anything so outrageous In my life," sho Anally ex claimed. "I used to doubt Clod's mercy "MA" 8 UN DAT in taking llttlo Klllo away from mo when sue was oniy n child, but now I seo His In flnlto wisdom. Far better for her to bo sloeplng In the arms of her Heavenly Father than to chance tho risk of growing up like one of thoso shameless creatures." But this remark was mild compared to her Indignation when tho bathers left the waves to tako a sun bath on the sand. They lay outsjretched carelessly on tho shore, men and girls together. Three girls were engaged In burying a man In tho sand, smoothing and patting the sand down over his body whllo a fourth tickled his toes as he struggled to break free. All wero'hya terlcal with laughter. But it wns a couple, half-sheltered by a shoro umbrella, that particularly held my frlcnd's'shocked Interest. "I.ooh nt that girl over .there," sho whispered, "tho one with tho black curls hanging nil over her head. Well, only thrs morning I saw her on the hotel plana Just being Introduced to the man who Is now with her with his head In her lap." And sure enough It was true. That night a few of us in the hotel learned tho man had begged this girl to go nwny with him, although wo found out later he already had a wlfo and child In a small town In tho Mlddlo West. The girl's mother overheard tho conversation nnd mndo a scene. He had already left the hotel when we cam down to breakfast. I did not hold hlra wholly to blame. Ho had responded to the Invitation which tho girl's laxity of behavior had seemed to give. Her mother kept to her room In a ml-ery of shame as tho scandal spread. The daughter tried to brazen It out, but the beach episode which had been observed by a number of people lot her all sympathy, nnd she wns either politely Ignored or de liberately cut by thoso who had been her former friends. Mother and daughter soon left the resort I keep wondering why the taws of our land are not mado to protect girls who are too foolish or careless to know how to toko rare of themselves. Tho so-called beach patrol, I nm told.

But. at the eleventh hour, Dalroy heard that a British Red Cross hospital party, which had extricated Itself from tho clutch of the mailed flst, was even then en routo from Bruges to Osten1 by way of Zee brugge. Knowing they would bo In dire need of help, ho resolved to stay, though his action was quixotic, slnco no mercy would be'shown him If ho fell Into the hands of tho Germans. Ho took ono precaution, therefore. Some service rendered to a tradesman had enabled him to buy a ro llablo and speedy motor bicycle, on which, as a lat resource, ho might scurry to Dun kirk. His field scrvlco bnggago was re posing In a small hotel near tho harbor. For all ho can tell. It Is reposing thero yet: ho never saw It again after ho leaped Into tho saddlo of the Ariel nnd sped through tho cobbled streets which led to tho north road nlong the coast. The hour was then about 0 o'clock on tho evening of October 13. A Belgian staff officer had nssured him that tho Germans could not possibly oc cupy Ostend until lato next day. Tho Bel gian army, though hopelessly outnumbered, had never beon cither disorganized nor out maneuvered. Tho retreat to tho Yser, if swift, was orderly, and tho rear guard could bo trusted to follow Its tlmo table. IlAce, before It was dark Dalroy deter mined to cover tho sixteen miles to Zee brugge. Tho hospital, which was convoying British nnd Belgian wounded, would travel thenco by the quaint steam tramway which links up the towns on tho littoral. It might experience almost lnsuporablo difficulties at Zeebrugge or Ostend, nnd he wns one of tho few aware of tho actual time limit at disposal, while a field hospital bereft of transport Is a peculiarly Impotent organlza tlon. Road and rail ran almost parallel among the sand dunes. At various crossings he could ascertain whether or not nny train had passed recently In the direction of Os tend, thus making assurance doubly sure, though the stationmaster at the town, terminus wns positive that tho next tram would not arrive until half past 7. Dalroy meant intercepting that tram at Blanken berge. Naturally, the train as lato In reaching tho latter place, but tho only practicable course was to wait there rather than risk missing it A crowd of terrified, peoplo gathered around the calm-eyed, quiet-mannered Briton and appealed for advice. Poor creatures! They imposed a cruel dilemma. On tho ono hand, It was mon strous to send a whole community flying for their lives along the Ostend road; on the other, ho had .witnessed the fate of Vise and Huy, Yet, by remaining In their homes they had somo prospect of llfo and ultimate liberty, whllo their lot would bo far worse tne instant tney wcro piuubcu into the panlo and miseries of Ostend. So ho comforted the unhappy folk as best he might, though his heart was wrung with pity at sight of the common fnlth In tho Red Cross brassard. Men, women nnd children wore tho badgo Indiscriminately. Thev recarded it ns a shield against the Uhlan's lance! Most fortunately for that strin of Belgium, tho policy of "frlghtrul ness" was moderated onco tho country wan overrun. So far as local occurrences havo been permitted to become known, tho coast towns hnvo been spared tho fato of thoso in tho interior. To Dalroy's great relief tho Incoming train from Zeebruggo brought tho British hospital. Thero were four doctors, eight nurses nnd flfty-threo wounded men. In cluding a sergeant and ten privates of the Oordon Highlanders, who, llko Bates, Smlthlo and tho rest, had Bcramblod across Belgium after Mons. The train offered an extraordinary spec tacle. Soldiers and civilians wcro packed In It and on it. Men and women sat pre cariously on tho roofs of the ramshacklo carriages, stood on tho buffvs and coupllngi or clung to door handles. Not even foot hold was to bo had for lovo or money on that train at Blankenberge. Dalroy, Who dared not let go his machine, contrived to get a word with the medical officer In charge. As over, the Briton mado light of past troubles. "Wo'vo had the time of our lives!" was tho cheery comment. "After Mons wo wero left In a field hospital with a mixed crowd of British. French and. Germans. Of course wo looked after nil alike, and that saved our bacon, becauso oven a German general had to try to behave decently when ho found a thousand of his own men In our caro. So ho sent us to Brussels with a safo conduct, and from Brussels wo wero allowed to mako for Ostend had to log It, though, tho last twenty miles to tho Belgian outposts. Then wo refitted and started for Bruges, where we'vo been nt work In a convent for five weeks. Tho remnant of tho Belgian army passed through Bruges yesterday and tho day before, so we cleared out all possible cases and started away with tho crocks early this morning. At the last minute we were hustled a bit by a Tnube dropping bombs on tho station. One bomb took from us a vanload of kit. We haven't a thing except tho stretchers and what wo'ro wearing." "I'll rldo on now, and meet you at Os tend," said Dalroy. Ho had not the heart to dampen the spirits of tho party by telling thorn of tho chaos awaiting them. Sufficient for tho next hour, would bo tho evil thereof. "I say. It's awfully good of you to take all this trouble," said tho doctor. "I've lost my Job with th'o departure of our troops, so I had to find something to do," smiled the other.
