Yon know she is a member of ,lhc lied Cross Motor Corps, or Motor Messengers, which is so much easier to say. and she did perfectly wonderful work driving. She used to tlrixe nil the way into town from Deon and then drive all day and then drive all the way liomo again. And last summer nt Cape .May she carried wounded men. and she uis" been having wounded men out there to 'ier farm to. recuperate at various times. While she was cranking her car it kicked. understand, and hurt her very badly, and -lie has been out of the service ever since. 'sn't that hard to have to give up just when i) many wounded men are coming home and re is so much work to do. And Mrs. Uu- iii, I hear, was wa up on the list of haid orlicnt of the organization.

SllK was learning to write on the type writer, for since the war she did not care to dance or play cards ami so on. jou know I mean she was taking lessons m stenogrnpty. ami she was writing all those ridiculous sentences that jou have to write in order to show that ou can write. And she went slowly and then she went a little faster, and still it didn't break. She was delighted, and then she discovered that sometimes the letters formed correctly and sometimes, oh horrid .sight, they didn't. So she tried it out to find out why, and this is what I saw when I happened to glance o fi ber typewriter: "The uuick brown fox jumped oxer the hi. dog this is a spiv of. the xx oik of thrs much the quick blown fox jumped over the lazy dogoooooooo, there thete there."
