Ilcnlly, I wns nbout dead, nnd I guess you were, too. I met a certain tall nnd handsome member of tho Hmergenoy Aid on Monday afternoon. She looked so smart nnd was carrying a small' flag. "Well," I said, "how do you feel?" I expected much enthusiasm, need loss to say. She smiled wearily upon mo nnd remarked, "My feet never wcro mado for parading; I'm dead," nnd sho wearily n ended her way up to ono of tho boxes nt the muslcalo nt tho Bcllcvtte. However, I noted her later waving her flag with much enthusiasm when Murntoro sang the "Mar seillaise." n AND now for the readjustment. I won- dcr when things will become normal or If they over will bo normal again? I Wy suppose so, however, and the next thing you know I'll bo telling you that 80 nnel-io is to mako her debut at thin or that tea or danco or supper. However, I don't think real social festivities will start up this season. There's too much to bo dono yet for tho sick and wounded. Tho lied Cross must contlnuo to get out bandages, and surgical dressings. Just becauso the war Is over docs not mean that tho wounded are well or anything like well, does It? TID you know that Mrs. John B. 'Thayer, Jr., has been lent all tho sketches that wcro mado by our leading artists during the recent Llborty Loan drive at tho Bellovue? Yes; and she'3 going to exhibit them for tho Trench war relief committee. I understand tho exhi bition will last for two weeks, and I'll tell vou more about It when I hear moro my self, about where It will bo and who will help Mrs., THayer. Isn't sho beautiful? I Just lovo to look at her, and I am always glad when I look at Polly, her younger daughter, who has Inherited that wonder ful warmth of coloring that makes her mother so unusually lovely. Polly still wears her hair down her back, but she will soon be In the debutante class, and something tells mo she'll be a winner. rpun Harrison family seem to have all - rushed for sea air at the same time, for I hear that tho George Lelb Harrl Bpns, Mrs. Harry Wain Harrison nnd Mrs. Emory McMIchael, who was' Ellen Harri son, you knpw, nre nil down nt the Chel sea. Having a sort of family party, as It were. T SHOULD think It must be with a feel- Ing of great security and happiness that the Draytons Bald good-by again to BUI on his way back "over there," for this time there will not bo the danger at the front there hasNbeen nil along. In fact? pretty soon "thero ain't goln to bo no front." Bill came over with some sick soldiers about three weeks ago and thet. was given ten days' leave, which he and his wife spent here, staving at Bill's parents' home on Twenty-first street. Ho went over first , wjth Base Hospital- No. 10 In May of 1917, nnd later was transferred to tho expedi tionary forces. Of course, there's an aw'jl lot for the' doctors over there to do, so Bill Is going back, even ti.ough peaco has come. But gracious, he's glad to go. All tho men nre! They are and have been so" devoted to their work. Don't you think his wife Is pretty? Sho was Frances Dunning, jou know, a daughter of Mr. nnd Mrs. George A. Dun ning and sister of Norman, Lelghton nnd Nancy Dunning. She Is ono of the smart est looking members of the younger mar ried set nnd Is a great favorite. ALREADY there nro plans afcoot for parties for the school .set In the Christ mas nnd Thanksgiving holidays. The Charlton Yarnalls will glvo a. dinner for Sophie before the holiday meeting of the Saturday Evening Dancing Class, which takes place on December 28. That's going " to be quite a big week, and it would not surprise me If I heard of one or two other small affairs nround that time. DID you hear that Newton Wigton has been Invalided home and Is In a hos pital at Cape May? He was wounded about two months ago and the family didn't hear , from him for weeks, and naturally they almost "passed out" with anxiety, but they finally heard that he hail been shot In the arm nnd then he was sent home. He Is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Wigton, of Schoolhouse lane and Wlnsahlckon avenue, Germantown, and a brother of Bob Wig ton and a nephew of the Louis Ketter llnuses. Bob Wigton niarrlcd Elizabeth Smucker, you remember, and they have a young daughter now. Bob and Newton are both Princeton men Bob 1912 and Newton 191-J. NANCY WYNNE.

DREAMLAND ADVENTURES fly DADDY A complete new adienture each utek. bcfftn nlna Mondav and ending Saturdau (Veoov, made into a whiff of air, s called to Cloiidlantt by Crystal, Queen of the Snows, who asks her aid in tamlny tu.0 Giants, Blqoey and IlUzzti ) CHAPTER III Blizzy and Blooey PEGOV was shocked to sco the damage that Blooey the Olant had dono In cele brating his victory at chcckerB. Half of tho beautiful palace was In ruins whllo broken Frlglda wero scattered all over the place. But sho soon found that things wcro not so bad as they looked. A cloud that hap pened to bo drifting by was seized by tho uninjured Frlglds nnd quickly attached to the palace, forming a new nnd handsome wing in placo of tho part that had been wreceked. As for tho broken Frlglds, they wero Just stuck together again, nnd soon wero ns good ns new, all except one chap whoso head happened to get put on wrong sldo to. He had an awful tlmo trying to straighten himself out until he twisted so far that ho broke his head off ngaln and was ablo to put It on right. Just ns the Frlglds finished the now cloud addition to tho palace, thero was another loud rumbling from beneath tho palace, a great shaking, and for a. third tlmo it camo tumbling down. . "This Is too much," exclaimed Queen Crys tal, much exasperated. "I wish 1 wcro ton thousand tlmeu bigger so I could give thoso playful monsters a sound' spanking When jou tame them, you Just glvo them a tew extra slaps for me." Peggy was growing less nnd less anxious to tackle the Giants. She was afraid that If they toro her to pieces, sho couldn't get herself together again. "W-w-w-w-vv hero are tho Giants?-' sho muttered. "Down In tho dungeon, below tho palace," answered the queen. "Oh, they are In prison !" exclaimed Peggy much relieved. She much preferred trjlng to tamo Giants confined behind bars than Giants running loose In the open. "Of course they are," answered tho queen. "Wo ahvavs keep themilocked up when they are not on a rampage. Then they can only wreck one palace at a time instead of smash. Ing up all of Cloudland." "Why do jou have to tame them If jou havo them locked up? Why not leave them In these ruins and build your palace some p1sb else?" 'Because they llko companj-," sighed the queen. "And besides, our locking them up doetn't do any good if they don't want to stay locked up. If they feel llko strolling nbout the enrth and kicking up a rumpus, they Just burst right out of tho strongest Clodds nnd walls wa have nnd wo can't do a thing to stop them. Would jou like to take n peek at them?" Peggy hesitated. If walls couldn't hold the Giants, what chance would sho havo to escape If they came nfter her? But her curiosity got the better of her fears. Sho nodded her head and Queen Crj'stal led her to n .pipe sticking up out of the ground like a periscope. "Look down this," she said. Peggj-, obev-. Ing, found that tho pipe really was a peri scope and that by placing her cjo to It sne could see what was going on in a huge dun geon far, far below the ruins of the palace. In the dungeon were two Immenso Giants facing each other across a large table, w hlch was a large checkerboard. One of tho Giants was as white as frost. The other was the color of lead. Both were bearded and had long tangled hair. They were dressid in streaming clothing the same color as them selves. They seemed very keen over their game of checkers and smoked furiously at' big pipes as they kept their eyes Intent upon the boara. "The white one is Blizzy, and the darlt ono is Blooey," whispered the queen. As sho said this Blooey made a move that cornered Blizzy, As Blizzy disgustedly gave up, Blooey let out a wild whoop of triumph and rushed around In a frenzy of Joj The dungeon became Just a swirling dark mass, and the ruins of the castle above It heaved and shook. It was as though a hundred ele phants had broken loose all nt once, Peggy, thrown from the periscope by the violence of the upheaval, turned a pale face toward Queen Crystal, who waa closely watching her. "Poor little Giant Tamer," tinkled the queen, stretching out her hand In quick sym pathy to Peggy. "You've got an awful job on jour hands trjlng to handle thoso chaps Hut come vvlth me, and I'll show jou why It must bo done." Tomorrow -will b( described the strange sights the.

Well, I was In for It this time A rpeclal bearing mo Heaven knows whither on un known business I Perhaps I might bo able to extract a llttlo lnform-itlon out of my f.it friend if I went with him, so I accepted his Invitation vvlth sultablo con descension Tho Ma'jor excused hhnsclf for nn Instant and returned with my overcoat nnd bag "So!" he cried, "wo can leavo thero bpre until wo come hick'" Behind him through the open door I saw a group of officials peer ing curlouslj- into tho room. As we walked through their midst they fill back with pre cipitation. There was a positive reveiencc about their manner which I found extremely puzzling, A wagonette, driven by an orderlj, stood In the station J aril, ono of the customs offi cials, hat In hand, nt the door. We drovo rapidly through very splek-and-span streett' to a little squaro where tho sentry ut nn iron gate denoted tho Olllcers' Club In the anteroom four or five olllcers In field-gray uniforms wero lounging As wo entered they sprang to their feet and remained stiffly standing whllo tho Major presented them Hauptmann Pfahl, Obcrlcutcnant Mejer a string of names. Ono of tho offi cer's had lost an arm, another was very lame, tho remainder were obvious dug-outs ' "An American gentleman, a good friend of ours," was the form In which the Major Intro, duted mn to tho companj'. Again I found mj'sclf mjstlPed Ijj the extraordinary demon strations of respect with whli.li I was re ceived Germans don't llko Americans, espc-clallj- tlnco they took to selling Bhells ti tho Alllec, nnd I began to think that all thestf olllcers must know more about mo nnd nry mission than 1 did mjstlf A stolid orderly, vi earing white gloves, brought beer und some extraordinary nasty-looking sardine b.ind wlches which, on sampling, I realized to bo made of "war bread." Whllo the beer was be'ng poured out I glanced round the room, baro and verj- simp!) furnlehed Teirlblo chromo-lllhosraphs of the Kaiser and tho Crown Prlnco hung on tho walls above a caso filled with war tro phies. With a horrible sickness at heart I recog. nlzed among other emblems u glengarry with n silver badge and a nrltlsh steel hel met vvlth a gaping hole through the crown Then I remembered I was In tho region of tho Seventh Corps, which supplies some of our toughest opponents on the western front. Conversation whs polite and perfunctpry "It Is on occasions sueh as these," said the lame officer, "that uno recognizes how our brothers overseas aro helping the Ger man cause," "Your work must bo extraordinarily Inter esting," observed one of tho dugouts. "All your difficulties nro now over," said the Major, much in tho manner of the chorus of a Qnik play "You will bo In Berlin tonight, wheie jour labors will be doubtless rewarded American friends of Germany arc not popular in London, I bhbuld imagine!" I murmured; "Hardlj-."' "You must possess Infinite tact to have aroused no suspicion," said tho Major. "That depends," I said. "Pardon me," replied the Major, In whom I began to recognize all the signs of an un mitigated gossip, "I knew something of the Importance of jour m'sslon. I speak among ourselves, Is It not so, gentlemen? Thera were special orders ubout j'ou from the corps commander at Munster. Your special has been waiting for you here for four days. The gentleman who came to meet jou has been In a 'ovtr nt expectation. He had already left tho station this morning when when I met you. I sent word- tar him to pick you up here.'' Tho plot was thickening. I most certainly w.is a personage of note. 'What part of America do you come from, Mr. Semlln?" said a voice In perfect English frenn tho corner. Tho one-armed officer was speaking. "From Brook!) n," I s.ild stoutly, though my heart seemed turned to leo with the shook of hearing my mm tongue. "You havo no ncccnt," tho other replied suavely. "Homo Americans," I retorted sentcn-tloiisl)-, "would regard that as a compliment Not all Americans talk through their noses any nioro than wo all chew or spit In public" "I Know," said tho joung man "I was brought up thero'" Wo wero surrounded by smiling faces This officer who lould spiak English was evident!) rignrded ns a lilt of wag by his comrades 1 selzid tho opportunity to glvo them, In Gernnn n humorous description of my simplicity In explaining to a man brought up In tho I'nlted States that all Americana wcro not tho caricatures depicted In the European comic pi ess. Thero was a roar of liughter from the room "Ach, dlesir Sehmalz'" guffawed tho Major, beating his thigh In ccstas). "Kolos sal'" echoed ono of the dug-outs Tho lamo man smiled wanly and snld It was "Incredlblo how humorous Sehmalz could be " I had hoped that tho ronv creation might now bp carried on again In German Noth ing of the kind Tho room leant back In Its chairs, ns If expecting tho fun to go on.

Sehmalz smiled back w 1th pejc-ct courtesy, liut he eontlnueil to staro relentlessly at me. I felt beared 'What Is Sehmalz Jabbt ring nbout now ? said ono of tho dug-outs. I translated for the benefit of tho company My resume gave the dug-out who had spoken the opportunity for launching out on nn interminable anecdote about nn ulster ho had bought on a holiday at llrightou The story li'ted untl! tho wliltc gloved orderlj- camo nnd announced that "a gentleman" was there, asking for tho Hen Major. 'Tliit'Il bo jour man." exclaimed the Major, starting up I noticed he mado no at tempt to bring the stranger in 'Come, let us go to him "' I stood up nnd took my leave Sehmalz came to tho door of tho antroom with us. "You are going to lleilln?" ho asked. "Yes," I replied "Whero shall )ou bo Btaylng?" ho asked ugaln ' Oh, probably at the Adlon !' "I in) self shall bo In Berlin next week for my medical examination, and perhaps we ma) meet again I should much like to talk moio with )ou about America ttn, London. Wo must havo mutual acquaint ances " I murmured something about being only too glad, at tho saino time making a mental note to get out of Berlin as soon as I con veniently could ' CHAPTER VIII Hear of Cluljoot and Meet His Employer AH WE went down tho staircase, the Major whispered to mo! "I don't think your man wished me to l,pow- his name, for ho did not Introduce himself when ho arrived and ho does not come to our Casino, Ilpt I know him for all that : it Is the young Count von Boden, of the Uhlans of the Guard; his father, the General, la ono of ho Emperor's aides-de-camp, ho was, for a time, tutor to tho Crown Prince." A raotoicar stood at tho door. In It a 13, 118 joung man In a gray-blue military great coat and a Oat cap With a pink band around It. Ho sprang out as we appeared. His manner was most empresse. He completely Ignored my companion. "I am extremely glad to see you, Ilcrr Doktor," he said. "You are mo-st anxiously expected I must present my apologies for not being at the station to welcome you, but, apparently, there ws some misunder standing 'Tlie arranguuents nt the station for j-nur reception scrm to have broken down com pletely mid he stared through his monocle at tho old Major, who flushed with vexation "if yu will step Into nry car," tho young man added, "I will drive )ou to the station.

He wss a Jovial old fellow after nil The young Count drovo himself and chatted nmlabty as wo whirled through the streets. "I must Introduce myself," he said- "Lieu tenant Count von Boden of the Second Uhlans of tho Guard I did not wleh to ss.y any thing before that old chatterbox.

But I was for getting, )ou nnd he must be old acquaint ances, Herr Doktcr!" I said something nppropilato about Von Stelnhirdt's Invariable kindness Inwardly, I noted tho explanation of the visiting card In the pirtl.illn in my pocket, t the station we found two orderlies, ono wllji nr) things, the other with Von Boden's luggnue and fur pelisse The platforms were now deserted save for sentries- all life nt this dreary frontier rtntion seemed to die with the passing of the mall train. 1 could not help noticing, nfter we had left tho car and were strolling up nnd down the platform waiting for the special, that my compinlon kept casting furtive glances at my feet I looked down at my boots: they wanted brushing certainly, but ohtervvlse I could Fee nothing wrong with them. They were brown, It Is true, and I reflected that tho German man about town has a way of regulating his tastco In footgear by the calen dar, and that brown boots are seldom worn In Germany after September 1.
