HEIL HAWKINS !
"Hell Hawkins! Well met. How nicetosceyourbonest countenance once more.
"Welcome home, Mr. Gerald. May I venture to observe that you appear remarkably bronzed and fit?" And to what, Mr. Gerald, do we owe thir modicum of unexpected leave ?" "To the fact, Hawkins, thant I have been promoted. I have my stripe. The man who stands before you is a real live Acting Lance-Corporal (unpaid),"
"I congratulate you wannly, Mr. Gerald. Doubtless you purpose to celebrate the occasion in the appro-
· priate manner.'
"I do, Hawkins, and in a big way.
Turn out the cellar while I go to the phone and beat up a few of the lads. Let there be enough festivity to float a battleship.
"Very good, Mr. Ġerald."
"And Hawkins, see that there's plenty of Rose's Lime Juice. Can't risk hangovers in wartime, you know. Rose's for Gimlets, and
to wind up the evening. Atten- tion to detail, Hawkins- that's what makes the good soldier." "So I discovered, Mr. Gerald, when they made me Quartermaster- Sergeant in the latter half of 1917."
There's nothing enatz about Rosa's Lime Juice. Ask for Rose's and enjây the pure juice of the time.
