I had a friend and he had a friend, and also he had his wife. Of course, we sat and idrank our beer and so long did we sit that dinner time drew near. It was 8.30 p.n. The publicist's wife was simply "dying" to make an evening, of it, to dine, in which proposal we naturally concurred. But her vast husband protested.

So we compromised Cold ham was ordered, a mug more of beer, even a "blood sausage, and about 7 p.m. the wife was admonished to go homeward. She looked so unhappy that even he released. He actually. bailed a cab. Poor thing! She drove off as nearly happy as I reckon she ever had been in ber married estate. As the cab turned the street corner our corpulent author waved his hand.

Renter's correspondent with the French Army, writing on the above subject, says :--

Although from the nearest point of the German lize to Paris is scarcely 50

miles. German aircraft have troubled the French capital very little since the first month of the war. Zeppelins were and since the raider that attacked it last never very frequent visitors to Paris, February was shot down on the return journey at Revigny they have left it rigorously slone.
