And didn't ono sit right down on tho lap of a man you know and I know who was sitting on tho front row and pat hli head and stroke his face? And didn't tho man almost "pass out" from embarrassment? Ho tried to throw him off; but dear mo, ho had on n, pale blue satin frock and a big hat, and ho looked so glrly you couldn't expect the man to "treat him rough," so to speak. Finally whon tho chorus lady bocamo so ' attentive ho Just couldn't stand It, in the mlddlo of tho song ho called out In sten torian tones, "Help I" Every ono you over knew was there. And thoy crtatnly did applaud. Tony Drexel Is secretary of tho show and It's a benefit affair. And by tho way. did you know that Mrs Tony was operated on for appendicitis yesterday?

Dal had been In Franco for about six months and had done splendid work. I saw a number of his letters ono day and was thrilled with tho spirit in them.

Of course, It was not in action, as it was on Saturday; but whether It was from wounds or discaso tho ATvitlir Ana nnf lenrtW. .

His family thought him in France, and they woro awakened after having been asleep some time, and looking out from the window they descried an odlcor in uniform on the lawn. They thought he was trying to attract them to say that a window had been loft open or something. But aftor several attempts to make himself heard they Anally 'mado out "Elbert." It was a question as to who should got down first. And from "Danny's" account of it, he beat his mother to it. He got there first, and ho lives on tho third floor, you know, whllo tho others are on the second floor. But he got there all right. HELEN is six, but awfully observant. Tho only troublu about her is that she sometimes gets mixed up in her observing observation observance have it your own way. Her oldest brother has Just come back from overseas, and being somewhat older than she was when ho went away, Helen is much Interested in all his conver atlon which is decidedly snappy. He 'has a habit of addressing his mother af fectionately but familiarly as "Old Lady," and Helen gets the spirit of It fine. But as usual tho letter means little or nothing in her life, and somo guests who had beeh invited to the dinner given In honor of tho soldier wero shocked at the "lack of train- Jng." This is how it happened. Everybody else at tho tablo had been served, but Helen always has her own special dish and that hadn't been brought in yet. She watched with wistful eyes as each dish camo In and wont out, and none of It seemed, to be coming her way. At last, after a wild look at tho apron strings of the maid as they disappeared through tho door, she put a beseeching hand on mother's arm and oxclaimed, "Hey, Ole 3lrl, you're forgetting met" NANCY WYNNE.
