So I'm going to call it a day, write to you and then—guess I'll stroll over to the Salvation Army hut and get some of their well knawn doughnuts. Belleve me, old girl, those doughnuts are tho greatest things this side your own kitchen table. I suppose Katie's are pretty nearly as good—for goodne sake don’t tell her this or vou'll shy one noisy maid when T get back but there's something about the guess it's the haomesickiess we here that flavors 'em inversely- that for a simile?—and make Salvation Army las no matter whether they're pretty or homely enough to stop a clock, the pets of the army. “Suppose yow've read about the lit- tle fracas I had the other day. it was in the papers over there. I simply had the most ripping luck. Was up with several other flyers, got | separated from them and chased by | four Boche machines. They peppered | me pretty well, and I'd either have to beat it or get mine, and that mighty quick. So I put the old boat into a { nose spin, and the unsuspecting little { dears thought they'd got me sure. But when I got far enough down I righted my machine, flirted my tail at them and went merrily home. But if | luck hadn’t beea with me, giving me {the chance to make that spin ov | our own lines, I wouldn't be e writing to you. For over German ter- ritory, after they had followed me down, they would have had a wonder- ful chance to get me. “But, as I say, luck was surely with me, and the two machines I downed brought my winnings to the point where they made an ace of me. I'd like to send you the decoration, but suppose I'll have to tote around with me awhile. “By the way, who do wou suppose in this world ? “Perhaps,” 1 returned mittally, ior while Dicky is rather conceited about trifling attain- ments of his he's modest to a fault concerniag either his drawing or flying in which he is naw riskin non-com- 1pt to be the hoped ade been ‘He will atie,” I hasn't been wng.” i bornly one said. flying over Me." no care,” Katie retorted stub. “Something wrong some- I tink he get it already, und bunch of soup greens cheat take away from heem some- viewpoint mother- made me smile, not only then, but of- ten in the weeks that followed, for Katie, once having broken through barrier I had intentionally raised against discussion of Dicky's doings, flaunted her theory to have been done to Dicky in season and out of season, disregarding both my amused smiles and the disapproving frowns which I later, sheer exasperation, ‘e her.

But we, wha loved him, knew that the few words telling of his ex ploit were simply the sketchy out- lines of a wonderfully brilliant pi ture, longed infinitely for the back- ground, the coloring which would bring it more vividly before our eves and compensate though illy for the awful terror aad suspense which was our constant portion. “Perhaps Richard will write us all mbout it” his mother said h(lp(:fu}l absurdity of her s0 o at in from a door neigh- And news came, set bo Don't endanger the life of that pre- clous baby by using unknown or un- jpasteurized milk.

CHRISTMAS IN THE BIBLE LANDS The iittie tots shown in the photo- graph above knew exactly how to bold their dresses when they were gathered to receive their first Christ- mas presents last year from the Workers o, the Committee for Re- lief in the Near East. These chil- dren of the Bible Lands would have neither presents nor home, nor food but for the contributions of the gen- erous American public. Last year 30.000 Sunday schcois of America contributed $1.600.800 for the necessities of these little peo- ple. This year the International Sunday Schoc! Association is en deavoring to raise $2.000.000 from the 176,000 Sunday Schools of Amer- ica for the starving children of the Bible Lands. On Sunday, December 1st, 75,000 ‘Four Minute” Speakers addressed 3unday Schools all over America in in effort to arouse interest in this remendous and life sustaining un- dertaking. PBach and every penny contributed will be used for a child in the Near East. since all expenses of collection and distribution are met from private funds. ‘The money obtained will be turn- ed over to the American Committee tor Relief in the Near BEast.
