Adaptability. That is the key note everywhere for the woman of 1918, and it has completely and ef lectually put the kibosh oil the dear, old "Eternal Feminine." We are so busy doing the world's work and conserving the world's ■ resources, adapting ourselves to all | sorts of new vocations and improv- | Ing on the old ones, that we really : haven't time to bother with those qualities which used to set us apart as a peculiar people. One can hardly be capricious and Illogical when one is operating a turning lathe, or running a farm tractor, or • carrying mall, or serv ing as conductor on a street car, or nursing in a field hospital. The results are too apt to be disastrous. One wisely conforms to system and method. Gone, too, are the old days of subtle speech—of not saying what lou mean and not meaning what you say.

SynopnlN of Preceding Chapter* After recounting his enlistment in the R. F. C. 'n Canada, May, 1917, and his transfer to France, via Kngland for active duty, lieutenant O'Brien tells of bringing down two German air planes and of his last flight, in which he was brought down, wounded, be hind the German lines. After recuperating he was sent to an officers' prison camp at Courtrai. There lie planned his escape, and by great sacrifice saved two daily rations ol bread. He also cleverly confiscated a map of Germany. Just .half an hour later he was on a train for a prison cdmp in Gedmany. On the train, deciding it was his last chance for liberty, he opened a window and jumped while the train was going thirty miles an hour, before his guard realized what he was contemplating. Although badly bruised and suffer ing from the reopening of his wound, he was sound of limb and free. lor nine davs he crawled through Ger nianv, hiding during the day. travel ing at night, guided by the stars, sub sisting on raw vegetables, sleeping only from exhaustion. He covered seventv-flve miles before reaching Luxemburg, where for nine days more he struggled on in a weakened condi tion toward Belgium. Now go on with the story.

The river was quite wide, but I am a fairly good swimmer and I fig ured I could rest awhile after the first trip before going back for the second bundle. The first swim was uneventful. When I landed on the other side I drank till my thirst was quenched and then swam back. After resting awhile I started across a third time, with my shoes and several Other things firmly tied to my head. Just about ten feet from the opposite bank one of the shoes worked its way loose and sank in about eight feet of water. There was nothing to- do but finish the trip and then go back and dive for the missing shoe, as I could not go on with a single shoe. Diving in my weakened condition was a considerable strain, but I had to have that shoe and I kept at is for nearly an hour before I eventu ally found it. and I was pretty nearly all in by that time. That was the last time I ever took my shoes off. for my feet were re coming so swollen that 1 ligured if I took my shoes off I might not be able to get them on again.

All the next day I spent in a for est, to which my night's travel had brought me about 5 o'clock in the morning. I kept on my way through the woods until daylight came, and then, thinking the place would afford j (fairly good concealment, I concluded, to rest until night. The prospects of even a good sleep were dismal, however, for about the I time the sun's face should have ap | peared, a drizzling rain began and 1 I gave up my search for a dry spot ] which would serve as a bed. Some of the leaves were beginning to fall, but of course there were not enough of them to form a covering for the ground, and the dampness seemed to have penetrated everywhere. I wafldered around through woods for two or three hours looking for shelter, but without any success, for although the trees were large, the forest was not dense, and there was practically no brush or shrubbery. Consequently one could get a fairly dear view for some distance, and I know it would be unwise to drop off to sleep just any place, or someone would surely happen on to me. Human Voices Alarm Him. Once I came very near to the ends j of the woods and heard voices of men driving by in a wagon, but I couldn't make out just what they were, and | instinct told me I had better not come out of the woods, so I turned back. | (To Be Continued.) j H Gets-lt"~2 Drops--- Then to the Dance!

Once upon a time we all laid too much stress on the fact that, the Jewish religion marked an actual racial distinction, and that Jew and Gentile was separated not merely by creed, but by differences environment, training, ideals and by all the contrasting conditions of their family lives. Recently on the stage of one theater the war drive of the Knights of Columbus was held. And on the stage sat together in friendly unity an Episcopalian minister, a Jewish Rabbi, and a Car dinal. Your parents have not quite caught up yet with the broader and more generous views, which are ac tually part of our life to-day. I wish they would think over the situation carefully and see whether in this man's respect for the old, compas sion for the weak, consideration for others and fine admiration for their own daughter they do not recognize their own best ideals.
