THE TEST
“I must have clothes.”
The young) amd eaiitiful wom^n
looked at her husband appealingly.
“What kind! of clothes, dear?” he
asked.
“AM kinds—sables and other furs,
house gow5s and street gowns and
evening gowns, party wraps, tailor-
made suits, lingerie—everything in
the way of clothes. Regardless of the
war, regardless of expense .regard
less of everything—I must have
clothes.”
He wrote out a check for five thou
sand dollars.
“Here, dear,” he said, "go out and
buy what you want. II can never re
fust you.”
She disappeared. The next day she
returned. There they were—clothes
of every description; but not what
she described—children’s clothes,
woolen wraps, flannels, sweaters,
blankets, mufflers. They were more
suitable for convalescent soldiers and
impoverished non-combatants than
for a society woman.
He gazed at them in despair.
‘What does this mean?” he asked.
‘T knew that if I asked you for
something more to win the war with,
you would say you had already gone
the limit. So I asked you for some
thing that 3 had not asked for so
long that, knowing the masculine
mind, I eblieved that you would be
fooled into giving me. Was I right?”
“(No, darling,” he replied. “I gave
you that money because I knew that,
being a woman, even if you had a
sudden impulse to wear expensive
clothes, you would, in the end, wind
up by doing just what all the other
women are doing.”
THE UNEDUCATED FRENCH.
Negro troops from Louisiana have
a linguistic advantage over other
(American soldiers. Many of them,
through living in sections where
French still is spoken, are more or
less familiar with the language of
this land when they get here. But
they have their difficulties, never
theless.
“It’s dis way,” explains one. “All
talk French puhfectly, ibut not de kind
dey talk in his country. You see, Ah
learned (French from mah fathah—de
pure, classical, o/le New Orleans
French—and dey don’t speak dat
■kind ovah heah.”—Stars and Stripes.
