TAGGART DESCRIBES ; HOW HE SPENT DAY III A FRENCH TOWN The following Interesting letter has -been received by Mr. and Mrs. John - Taggart, of 116 South Fourteenth " street from their son, Wilson Taggert, ; who has ' been In France several ' months with a supply company. His 'present address Is Supply Co. 312, Q. " M. C, American Expeditionary Force, American Postofflce No. 713: "Dear Folks : Have not heard from ' any of you for some time, but am go"lng to drop you a few lines. I hear . that quite a lot of mall arrived today 1 at our camp, so I am looking for some tomorrow noon. ' "Well. I had my day's vacation yesterday and certainly am tired tonight. I walked nearly all day, except the " time we spent eating. Another chap and I left camp at about 7 o'clock and 2 had a very nice walk to the city, ar

riving there at 9 o'clock. It was market day so we strolled around the square where the market is held. We were a little early as the people were Just putting up their stands. We' then took a little walk around the town, , which is a very interesting one as the houses and architecture are so different from ours. We had a real dinner which consisted of French fried pota- ; toes, egg omelet (four eggs) lettuce, ' cantaloupes, and hot chocolate. It cost " about ten francs. The cantaloupe was "the most expensive, costing three ' francs. We only have one day a month . ' so we eat on that day. After dinner " we loafed around the market. They sold everything there from pigs to collar buttons.' The people here have ' wagons and travel from one place to another In them, carrying their stock of goods with them. They have regular dry-goods stores in wagons. I think the whole city must have been at the market that afternoon.

"Enjoy Their Outing." "We soon tired of watching the crowd so went to the Y and had some ' line hot chocolate. We purchased New . York Heralds and sat down In the park for a rest. After resting about an hour we returned to the restaurant and bad supper. "I purchased a pillow case for one of the boys, and believe me I had some Job to explain Just what I wanted. Finally with the aid of a dictionary I 2 was able to get it. We spent a lot 2 of time looking In the stores, and - caught a train back to camp at 7:55, arriving at the barracks Just before the lights went out. ; "1 certainly did sleep and sure did 3 hate to get up this morning. ; "I wish you people could 6ee some , of this country, too. It is Just as you 5 read about. 5 "There is nothing extraordinary to Z tell you as thlngB are going very nicely ? over here, and plenty of work. S "I must close now as the light3 are 3 very poor, and I can hardly , see to 2 write. I am not keeping on the lines. Z "Write Boon and often. r "WILSON TAGGART." tw - .

ALL IN BEST OF SPIRITS, WRITES , HAY FROM FRANCE

"The part, of France, I have seen looks to me like they were a hundred years behind the tines," says Eugene Hay in a letter received by his parents. Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Hay." The people wear their wooden shoes yet. and the men wear hats with ribbons hanging down their backs. The hats are about four inches high. I don't know what they would do if a fellow walked down the street over there looking like that. The buildings look to be two stories high. But I can hardly see how they live In them with the barns and houses all together. I don't know which you would call the dwellings, barns or houses. "It Is a little dusty here, but we get along fine and I am getting lazy. I am well and all the fellows here are in the best of spirits. -We get plenty to eat and plenty of sleep. "My present address is Kluber E. Hay, 9 Battalion A. A. R. D.- " American Expeditionary Force, via New York."
