rnation on each Enlister,
and had to send for more several times. We had quite a Crowd there and
it was very polite except one, who said he would enlist twice for one
kiss. The Officer however took him by the ear and said the Army did not
wish such as he. He then through (threw?) him out.

This morning I warned the new Chauffeur, feeling that if he had by
chance any Milatary Secrets in the Garage he should know about William.

"William!" he said, looking up from where he was in the Repair Pit at
the time. "WILLIAM!"

"I am sorry, Henry," I said, in a quiet voice. "But I fear that William
is not what he apears to be."

"I think you must be mistaken, miss." He then hamered for some time.
When he was through he climbed out and said: "There's to much Spy talk
going on, to my thinking, miss. And anyhow, what would a Spy be after in

"Well," I observed, in an indignant manner, for I am sensative and hate
to have my word doubted, "as my father is in a business which is now War

safe at night. He said he was not a Spy-catcher, but if I caught William
at any nonsense I might let him know, and if he put a padlock on the
outside of his door and mother saw it and raised a fuss, I could stand
up for him.

I agreed to do so.

10 P. M. Doctor Connor called this evening, to bring Sis a pattern for
a Surgicle Dressing. They spent to hours in the Library looking at it.
Mother is rather upset, as she thinks a Doctor makes a poor husband,
having to be out at night and never able to go to Dinners owing to baby
cases and so on.

She said this to father, but I heard her and observed:

"Mother, is a doctor then to have no Familey life, and only to bring
into the world other people's children?"

She would usualy have replied to me, but she merely sighed, as she is
not like herself, being worried about father.

She beleives that my Father's Life
