The Soldier And The Lady
{* is undoubtedly the thing to laugh at hapless drunks who sing and lurch in swaying trams and splutter incoherent damns. Tipping forward the feathered hat, giving the hair a complacent pat, making a grimace of disgust as one who under duress must endure the presence bravely smiling of some infinitely loathsome thing, she shrinks away with feigned alarm and cries aloud-"He’s lost an arm!" OW annoying after the bridge afternoon, the tea and the cakes and the silver spoon, to have to sit in the crowded car and face the thought of this dreadful war! She looks at death in a live man’s face and says-‘‘These drunk soldiers
are a disgrace!"
