An Allied Uniform.

In a vaudeville theater at one of the French ports there was a comedian who had an act which he called. “Le Nouvel Uniforme.” He wore a French steel helmet topped with the cock feathers of the Italians. His eoat and breeches were of khaki. About his waist was slung a Scotch sporran. He wore golf stockings. The top of one was the pattern of the French flag and the other of the American flag. And he sang a song about the beach at Waikiki—a Frenchman’s interpretation of an American idea of Hawaiian harmony I Certainly nothing could have been more allied —Roy S.
