They told stories of conflict, making light of their part in the struggle, but praising un- ¢tintedly thelr "buddies." They de- serfbed air ralds, and the falling of shrapnel, the takidg of the Germans and destroying of their pests. They did not dwell on the horrors, but ta d much of the good the war would do, of what it had already done for many of the men in a mental and pirited way. Just for a moment the Major again talked of the nurses, This time as a body, not 'mentioning Mollie. "It is hard to imagine vii} would it not especially he remark- have become of the men, had bean for the 'Red Cross, their wonderful nurses," ad then he quoted softly: "There's 4 rose that grows on 'No Man's Land' And it's wonderful to see; Though it is sprayed with tears, It will Mve for years; In my garden of memory.

But the long drawn whistle of astonishment with which he greeted her reply, proved that he had not yet learned anything of the cost of | women's clothes. So she hurriedly added: "But, Brian, I shan't need any clothes to amount to anything for some time.
