I'piIEHE was a time and not so very - long ago at that when a man who woro l wrist watch lu these United Stntes of America was almost taboo. And then, war was declared, which meant that there u-ould be moro uniforms and fewer pockets, but Just as much ilmo as ever; tlmo for drills, time for mess, etc. There, aroso the difficulty, for while Undo Sam gencroiuly conceded that a man must r.ave pockets, ho does not model these same on lines calculated to hold a full-grown watch. Tho Jewelers, taking tho cue, began to rob tho wrist watch of Its dainty femi ninity, and their camouflage succeeded no well that It Is now quite customary to see a burly youth shamelessly consult his left wrist us to tho timo of day. Yes, quite a customary sight, but thero are still excep tions. One evening recently a concert was given down at League Island and the singing and dancing wcro In full swing and, Judging from tho applause, the efforts of tho fair singers were being fully appreciated. Only in one spot did gloom reign. In tho shapo of a huge marine, who sat lowering amidst the surrounding gaycty. Little Mr. Gloom was certainly whispering in his car. Well, ho was the typo of man on whom depends America's victory, tho typo that will send hhlvers up and down the Boche'o spine; nnd tho Y. M. C. A. worker who sat next to him was anxious to get at tho root of the troublo. "Don't you 'enjoy music?" ho asked. "Yep," was the laconic reply. t "Then, what's tho matter?" "Tho matt? Say, look at this!" and the giant bared his left wrist, disclosing a neat little watch fastened thereon. "And they had the nervo to glvj it to mc," con tinued tho aggrieved one. "Why, I was In servlco when wo licked the Spaniards and we didn't havo no baby watches then. Wha't does a'littlo thing llko time mean to a fighting man, anyhow?" And tho Y, M. C. A. worker femothered a smllo as he thought of tho misplaced kindness that Lad prompted this Insult. NANCY WYNNE.
