"TPWi K Vfr 1 1 I I t WHKS It Isn't ona thing It's another; ono night you bo to hour pleadings for fcniokcs and comfort bags for tho sol. dicrs and another to tho Y. M. O. A. meeting to hear William Howard Taft tell how much pood work has been done at tho Y. M. C. A. shacks, as ho did last night at the Bcllevue, together with Major Ocnerat Kennedy, V. 8. A.; Hear Admiral Tapian, J. S. N., ntid I'rivato nufua Ileynolds, of tho Forty-eighth Bat talion Canadian Infantry, who was wounded In tho battlo of tho Ypres. My I but wasn't It Interesting? THE meeting opened with the Canadian Scottles band; they marched around the, ballroom playing tho usual Scotch air one always hears played on bagpipes, and then mounted tho stago and played "Yankee Doodle." Mr. Stotcsbury greeted tho people, and, let mo tell you, that ballroom was "jammed, and thon tho wholo bunch stood up and sang tho "Battlo Hymn of tho lie. public," and they sang It to the good old tune they havo been hinging It to for many a year! Rear Admiral Tappan, commandant of the Navy Yard, spoko first, and was followed by Major Ceneral Kennedy, of Camp Dlx. Then came Pri vate Reynolds, who rested his cut-off leg on a table and, standing on the other log, talked for some twenty minutes of what the huts built buck of tho trenches meant to tho unwounded man. He told of how he had received his wound. How hi) had had his leg shattered and had lain on tho field for fourteen hours before they could pick him up. They took him to the first hospital, where tho doctors said they could do nothing: then ho was put with two other wounded men In ono ambu lance and taken to another hospital, where his leg was cut off. He was trans, ferred an hour later to ono of tho big hospitals, whero 2G00 men wcro being treated. He had not been in bed moro than thrco houis when tho German air. planes arrived, and, though the hospital was plainly marked with a huge rod cross, the bombs fell thick and fast, and many were wounded. After that talk there was a collection taken up by a number of young girls In white, who were led up tho alslo by the "kilties." And then former President Taft was Introduced. Ho simply took that audience Into his hands and held them for the rest of tho evening. It was the fourth speech ho had made yesterday, but It certainly was a great one. Ho was to strongly American through everything! He said, "We are not Democrats or Re publicans these days; wo are Americans." He stated that the Kings of England and Italy did not Interfere with tho democ iHcy of their countries; they wete simply matters of "fuss und feathers." Then he giggled delightfully and said, "Why, tho Kings of Kngland and Italy havo no more to say about tho government of tho people than an ex-President of the United States." Needless to bay that brought the house down. His explanation of tho train of thought of the fierman mind was splendidly clear. He said tho "Germans are a logical peo ple, the only trouble Is that some of their premises get mixed up with facts now and again, and it's so much tho worse for tho facts." A lady sitting next to me whispered to another, "What does ho mean by premises?" (Perhaps sho thought thero might bo some trespassing on premises which would be against the law.) To show that If things did not happen the way tho Germans thought they should, they Just slmpjy weren't, Mr. Taft told the story of the German who had met a man in New York and then some few weeks later In California. It was In the days of gold-digging and the German only knew of four ways to get to California. Ho greeted his friend nnd said, "Ah, you come the prairies, over?" "No," replied the Yankee. "Ach. I see you como the Straits of Magellan, through?" "Oh! no," said tho New Yorker. "So? You como the Isthmus, across?" "No, I did not," replied Mr. American. "Ach, sure you come the horn, around?" "No," said our ft lend. "Ach," aald Mr. German, "then you have not ar rived." QO MANY of tho Pickering members are away at camp training or "over there," that the club decided not to hold Its an nual breakfast and meet, but it is clvlng some sort of a shindig this afternoon and every member who can will be there. In fact, they ure.to have a drop hunt and luncheon. The beautiful llttlo clubhouse hidden away In the Pickering Valley and surrounded by some of tho most beau tiful rolling country In the State, has "rtalnly given fine men to the service.

You can say what you like about brass buttons being worn by Pull man porters, beauty being only skin deep and all that sort of thing, but vital would some not go through to acquire both? Do you supposo for ono moment if she hadn't been pretty and attractive ho would havo offered her his seat so that sho could sit next to her friend (Oh, I don't know, but that Friend was some good-looker, too, don't forget that; any way sho certainly CAN giggle at lunch at the automat? And If ho hadn't been arrnved In a stunning khaki uniform with leather put tees and all do you think she would have blushlngly accepted (Friend blushing, too) and In her flurry and excitement dropped threo perfectly good nickels, which rolled in every direction, making a frightful clatter on tho tiled floor? Then again and hero comes tho test can you imagine him In his new dignity ducking clown under tho table nnd scrambling around under everybody's feet to emerge at last- very red of fce, but triumphantly clutching two of the lost coins? (Good night, what happened to the third?) Then, of course, she had to request him shyly to pass her the .ur neckpiece which was draped over the back of her recently vneated chair at the, time that ho was endeavoring to slide her mucaronl and tea over to her without spilling any thing. Tho result was the same as it's been slnco the days of Adam when you try to please two peoplo or do two things ut once! Well, after all tho apologies wore over and 11 maid in a bluo "Hoover" apron had mopped up the accident, our soldier sat down to his now thoiughly chilled lunch (don't tell mo all the trials of a soldier's life are "over there" In the trenches) to ponder over what a boob sho must think him, when ho realized for tho first tlmo that something was under him. Up he rose and drew forth a brand new copy of "Good Housekeeping," nnd oh, hard, cruel Pate! There IT was now that ho had tlmo to notlco details en circling her Interesting linger, and she was smiling at him again with those dimples. Well, ho seemed to think ho knew what ho was talking about when ho said to himself, "Life Is one thing after an other!" But Just then ho looked up again and "Friend" was smiling, too, and, gee swlz! there wasn't any circle on the third linger of her left hand. So, my dears, await developments.
