Writer Tells How Happiness Came to Bereaved One at Ft, Harrison, Here's a Mothers day story founded almost entirely upon fact. Incidents mentioned occurred at Ft. Benjamin Harrison. The author residing at 56-1 W. Drive, tVoodruff Place, is prominent in work for ex-serviee men and women. BY CLAIRE PALMER THURSTON She was a frail, delicate, little thing, with dark blue' circles about her sw-eet hazel eyes, telling of agonizing times tyid sleepless nights: and upon her arm. her left one, she wore a golden star, and she belonged to a little band of women who called themselves war mothers, and whose duty it was to go about cheering 4he hearts of the boys who were forunae to escape from the very jaws of death, and be brought back to this country, God’s country, as they called it. She was brave to the very core, for was she not trying to cheer other mothers’ boys, when 'her own was lying in Flanders fields 9 No one but God knew just how hard it was sometimes. Perhaps, one of the mothers, who had attended a meeting and sat beside her, had just an inkling: for she had heard a almost choking sound, one afternoon, when a beautiful singer had sung of the boys they had sent across, some of them to die. Comforting Impossible The other mother sa3. still as a mouse, and did not attempt to comfort, her, how, could she? The only thing she could do, was to let every one think she was jiug as brave as she intended to be. Oh God! Would she ever forget the day she had received the official report, after many conflicting ones? It had come in the shape of a letter from the chaplain, who had spoken a f\ji words above darling, only bey, when he was laid to rest, after he had succumbed to the fatal wounds he had received at rhareau Thierry. The fatal wounds, which had worn his poor, tired, brave body com pletelv out, and he could struggle no more. She had sh>-d no tears, blit she had sat by the window for hours, never stirring. But there had come’ a moment, when she roused herself ard glanced at the clock, it was near supper time Breaking News to Father How could she ever tejl her boy s father? She frit that she could not do It! Mechanically, she arose anu went about h<-r duty of preparing supper for h°r tired husband. She had crushed the loiter in her pocket, and occasionally her fingers would slip into the pocket and she would finger the letter, absent-mindedly When supper was on the table she fell limply into her chair, as her husband, her boy’s father, came in the door. But she was almost cheerful, aa he bent and touched her lips with his own. , She grew cold and kept he.r hand on the letter. After he had washed and sat down to their simple meal he bent his head reverently, for the little prayer he always made for God to bless the food they were about to partake of; and asked Him to bring their hoy home safely. Rhe pat bravely at her post, while her husband filled her plate, but did not notice that the food went untouched. After he had eaten and gone into the living room she could stand it no longer, and going quietly to his side, she slipped her cold hand into his firm, strong one and left the letter In his palm. He glanced down, and when he saw the triangle'in the corner and no stamp, he quickly lowered his head, and as he caught a glimpse of the strange handwriting his face blanched and he sank into the chair she plaeed__for him. With stiffening fingers he drew the letter forth and read, the all too-few words written there. Silently he arose and the trembling form in his arms: henceforth they must he all in all to each other, for their boy—was dead!

Hospital Visited It was Mother’s day, an the little band of mothers were to-visit the hospital and the Army famp nearest | to their city. She started bravely t forth: her own hoy was dead, but she could he mother to some other I boy today: she would do her best. This little group of women, banded] together by the strong as well as ten- ; der ties of sacred motherhood, broke j into groups of twos and threes and went-their sepaxate ways. The pale, sad little woman wandered j off by herself: no one ventured to fob j low the little mother with her gold \ star: all she had left; turned her tired 1 footsteps toward the hospital, and when there, to the ward where the shell-shocked patients were located. Somehow, no one wanted to stop her, no one had the heart to stay her feet, when they saw the sweet eyes and the star of gold upon her slen'Ve!' In her hand she carried a large hunch of Lilies of the Valley, and as she entered the -ward, their fragrance was wafted toward the dear boys, who bad given best to the world for democracy, and who had come back to their home land, mental wrecks. She gave each a spray of her flowers, for, was it not Mother’s j day? Some threw thorn down, others re*.! fused to take them at all until she held the spray beneath their nofctrils, i and as the beautiful fragrance stole into their dulled senses, it seemed to bring back some sensation, long for- 1 gotten, and they would reach eagerly for their share. In tlje corner of the room, was a tall, slender laddie, his head upon his'hands. She touched him lightly upon the shoulder, and as she did so the Red Cross nurse sJ*ook her head, saying: j -“He is one of our saddest cases, he •has not spoken for months.” Veteran Able to Speak A tear trickled down the cheek of the little war mother, and th% pressure of her small hand deepened. The hands fell from the lad’s face, he shook off the detaining hand, but the j fragrance of the flowers seemed to appeal to him. and he let his eyes fall ! and linger on the tender spray, i Suddenly, he snatched It to his lips. ! then turning to the giver, his dull ; eyes began to light up, and letting his | hands prop—he spoke! 9 Such a cry of joy rang out upon the ; stillpess of the ward, that the walls echoed and re-echoed with it. He slowly advanced, like one in a trance, toward the little war mother, and folded her close to his 4leart, with his

In the negative. No, no, he was not her hoy; her hoy was dead. I The nurse glanced again at the gold star, And stepped quietly into the background: tho hoy should have the j one whom he thought was his mother, i to himself. The sad eyes lighted up with moth- j Y-rly love, as the little mother’s delicate hand patte 1 the khaki clad arm, j and soothed the terrible nervousness 1 of the hoy. For a long time she stood with her head on the I dcr, and then, soothing him, she said : gently: “Mother will have trv-go now, but she will come i.gain soon to her boy." Patient Watches Departure His eyes almost devoured her. ns she slowly backejJ from the room, but he made no attempt to detain her. as she left he rushed out onto the ha4eonv to watch her departure from the grounds. On the outside the Red Cross nurse told her: "You have worked wonders with one of our worst cases, one of our most hopeless, please come often, perhaps, who knows? We might with your help effect a permaneent cure.” The little mother listened a rapt expression upon her face, her eyes were no longer tired, but shining. She had found her w-ork, wore to-^ relieve the terrible monotony doing without her boy; Os eoiirsx she would come, it would perhaps j be hard to keen her away! As she wandered back to her friends I with quickened stejr. her heart was almost singing, lor she already .loved the boy, who very likely had no ; ■mother of his ew-n. The last thing she saw in the j gathering dusk was the tall, brown j figure, outlined against the sky, waving kisses to her, as she disappeared into the gloom of the night. She saw the Red Cross nurse come out onto the balcony and with gentle hand lead the lad back through t the long window? He seemed to go reluctantly, with a last backward glance over his shoulder, after —his .mother!

She looks grave now every time he calls. * Are you ixfraid he will get a little comfort out of life after the way you have treated him? Os course 1 like Jack—pretty well —but I “can not understand why you gave up Karl Whitney for him. “Flirting With Hint” Poor old Karl! He is taking- it awfully hard too. I think you would be ashamed that you accused me of flirting with him when you know that the most he talks about when he Is with me is you. I wonder if you never knew that Karl was the most understanding man in the world; but of course you didn’t. If you had, you would have married him. And, besides, I think he is the most loyal of all men. I am sorry for that too, for I don’t want him to go on loving you all his life when there are so many other nice girls who would be glad to marry him. Don’t laugh’ at me. I am not thinking of marrying him—at least not right away. In fact, I have introduced him to a number of lovely young women lately, hoping that he would like some of them. “Hipped On You” * * But he still is “hipped” on you.
