Harrisburg Girl Sends Inter esting Description of Ex periences in France Mechanicsburg, Pa., Jan. 25.—1n a recent letter from Miss Marian B. C. Watts, who is doing Y. M. C. A. work "somewhere in France," to he"r sister. Miss Anna M. Watts, of Mechanicsburg, she says in part: "Mother's letter came yesterday, dated November 8. You can believe 1 was glad to have it. Bird had two the day before and we had known for five days there was American mail hi. Ask mother to send along any letters of interest. This is a good way for me to keep even. Ask any one to send big, good looking pic tures for me! Our walls are big and bare and the boys want home things. The things they say most are, "That makes nie think of home," or "Say, that looks like home." Bird's pink check gingham apron is a top notch success. She was washing the win dows when one boy came up and said: "Miss, that reminds me of mother!" No one need ever think that the boys forget them for one minute. I heard a boy say last night, "I wrote to my mother on October 20 and not again until last night." I smiled at hini and said: "Don't let it happen again. I've just come over and know how they long for letters over home." He came right up with his hand out and said, as he shook hands, "Thank you. Miss, I'll try not to. It will be easier now that the "Y" is here. You can't write much with eight fellows in the tent." Another boy said: "Do you re member, Miss, the first day you came here? I looked up and saw two ladies—American ladies they were. 1 felt you had come right down from heaven." And so it goes every hour Snd, every day. We live about two miles from the Hut, In the home of a French family. Our room opens right on to a garden, with French windows. We do not have to go Into the house at all, simply come through a big iron gate, up a stone path and and over a stone terrace and into our room. The garden is entrancing, with a largo block gazing hall. Our is about the size of mother's room. We have two walnut beds, a ward robe, a bureau, a table, washstand, two small stands, three funeral chairs, arm chair, stove, two trunks, several bags and our two large selves. We take turns in breathing. We have one small lamp and two candles and are lucky to have these. AVe have a dear little Georgette, who comes in shortly after 6 o'clock, lights our file and brings each a cup of chocolate and two pieces of brown bread toast. This is breakfast. She also brings us a pitcher of hot water. When we are dressed, we put on our coats and start on out two-mile tramp..Cold? My gracious'. I am wearing three pairs of stock ings and thinking of the fourth. I don't know what I would do with out my fur coat —literally use it night and day. I then put on my rue sack, night and morning. If I had to carry my bag, my hands would freeze. We have to pay for every stick of wood we burn. In every stage of our journey so far we find some particularly nice somebody to belong to. On the way over It was Dr. Ladd and Dr. Percy. In Paris, Mrs. Bowles. In town, Mr. Cleveland and the dearest old chap lain of Base Hospital 17, and out here. Major Beale, who came to the "Y" the first night and told us to command him at any time, profes sional or otherwise. So you see, the Lord has us in his keeping. Our days are hectic—five thou sand things to do all at nce. We have three boys from the regiment detailed to help us and they are very good; so polite and thoughtful. Gertrude is coming down to-morrow and I will be delighted to see her. We had a funny time to-night when we came back to our rooms. Madame sent a polite invitation for us to visit them. So we went over and such a sputter and talk! Pa, Ma, daughter and we two. They with as much English as I French, t can assure you it was rich. Our little Georgette's husband was killed last spring. When she told us and showed his picture in her locket we all cried. Can't you see us? She is 21 and so pretty and eager to make us com fortable. We come in half frozen to find slippers on the wee por celain Itove. Isn't it sweet of her? I wish we had more time, but you can tell Miss L. I can rattle off the money at a great rate now. Be good girls now till I get back. With love to each and every one. MARIAN B. C. WATTS. An Altoona paper was received by some of Miss Watts' in which was a letter from a soldier in France, from Altoona, saying how glad they were to have two Ameri can ladies there in the "Y."

In this way the same end will be accomplished an,d the fuel will be conserved. Keeping A It is gratifying to us, and we believe that it is appreciated by the public, that the same high standardof merchandising and efficiency which have built the Schleisner Stores is being strictly adhered to to-day, despite the fact that conditions are abnormal. It is with a sense of duty to our clientele that our stocks are complete, even though many things were very difficult to procure. But in the face of obstacles we have put forth greater efforts to achieve our high standard and maintain it. Our entire time is devoted to one line—apparel. All our thoughts go into the accomplishing of our aims. And our efforts are admirably reflected in the large and distinctive selections from which a woman may choose her garments. Even though undecided what to select, a woman can come to this establishment feeling safe in the idea that we will be able to help her select what is best suited for her requirements. \ If a garment goes wrong (nothing is infallible) or if one is to be exchanged, we are only too anxious to please the customer. War condi tions do not change our policy. What reason would we have for not exchanging something for a customer? We select our merchandise and we cannot see why we should not be willing to exchange it, as long as it is in good condition and not out of our store but a day or so. Our strictly tailored garments are fitted to the figure—and we have men tailors to do the work—for dressmakers are not skilled in the art of mannish tailoring on women's garments/ We do not claim to have one of a kind, a custom used by stores in a vain effort to appear exclusive. How could we select the right size, the 'f right color and the precisely suitable garment for you without broad selec tion? .The success of our stores has been due mainly to the broad choice in the modes that are authentic. Our stocks are complete in the following lines to which we invite your inspection. In times like these you can prove to yourself all the more forcefully that it is most economical to buy here. We have-given unstinted attention to the moderate price garments as well as to the more expensive lines —which provides splendid choice for the woman or miss no matter what amount her purse allows.
