Corned Beef and Salmon' By DORA MOLLAN ( C o p y r i g h t , b y the McClura Naw" paper Syndicate.) Corned beef and cabbage, that homely New England odor, permeated the cor­ ridors of a downtown apartment bouse one springlike morning In December. On a run up the fourth flight of stairs, out of breath from the long climb, came Judy Waite with arms full of packnges from the corner grocery. She followed the permeating fragrance straight to Its lair, a tiny kitchenette, dumped her load on the table, and then fairly fled to the kettle simmering on the gas plate. All was well. Next the packages on the table claimed attention. A can of saltnoh, head of lettuce, salad dressing, choco­ late eclair, everythihg that her Bob most liked was to be ready for him that day* Fervently Judy kissed the narrow gold band on the second finger of her' hand. Her big soldier husband was to be mustered out of the serv­ ice that morning at a nearby camp; and he would be home for dinner. Over a year had passed since the heart­ rending separation which took place two days after their marriage. Such brave, uncomplaining letters ns he had written, telling only of the bright side of things I Now she listened; at any minute his knock might sound on the door. Would he use the little apartment she had chosen? Would the meals she had planned suit him? Of course they would, But now there wns work to be done. “Let’s see," she soliloquized, corned beef and cabbage for dinner, with apple pie and cheese for dessert; for supper, salmon salad, hot rolls, preserved peaches and the eclairs." Hurrying steps coming down the cor­ ridor brought a-glad light to Judy’s eyes, and when a knock sounded on the door she was there, ready to open It. “Judy!” “Bobby!" She was lost to sight In a genuine, bear hug. “Gee, Judy, but this Is great!” and the stalwart soldier boy looked around the cozy living room. "What In blazon do I'smell?” he scowled. Jndy(looked puxsled. given the lie. For the first course of their first meal ho kissed her. "That will always be our first course,” he said, Then bravely he tackled the hull beef. Oh, how be bad learned to hate Itl But Bobbie’s training In enduring disagree­ able things uncomplainingly now stood him In gt ’d stead. He praised tho thoughtfuh-ass and the cookery of his young wife. After they had washed and dried the dishes together and Judy had listened to the story of his experiences over there, the gtri-wife put On her new coat and hat. Bobby admired them— and her in them—and they started out for a walk. “For,” snia Judy, “we must get a good appetite for supper, because I have planned something else that you like.” “Lordyl” thought Bob, “what else did I tell her I liked?” But he’d eat It, he swore to himself—yes, even If It were canned salmon 1 Supper time came; and with it— salmon. The words of his bunkle, Jim, the wag of the company, ran In his mind : “I loathe, hate, abominate, execrate, detest and abjure canned salmon.” , “Amen, forever and ever 1” the com­ pany had announced In chorus, How Jim would chortle at the Joke on him l Why had he ever told Judy he liked the stuff? Bobby hadn’t been cited for bravery for nothing; so he gulped down the detestable stuff, and thought he was getting away with it. But Judy, with a woman's intuition, felt that some­ thing was wrong. “He eats like a child taking castor oil,” she thought to herself, watching her husband sur­ reptitiously. “Won’t yhn have some more?’’, she asked sweetly. “No, dear; I don’t seem to be ns hungry as I thought,’’ Bobby replied. However, It did not escape Judy that the eclair vanished with a relish. Al­ ready a cloud floated across her hori­ zon. Bob was not going to like her cooking. A big tear came to the cor­ ner of one. eye and rolled slowly down her cheek. "Come on, girl, let’s get the dishes out of the way and go to a show. Gee 1 It’s spine time since this boy has been in an honest to goodness theater.” Bob hadn’t noticed the tear. Judy was glad .of that and determined to throw off the momentary depression, for noth­ ing must mar the happiness Of her soldier’s first day at home! ' The show was fine. Admiring eyes followed Bob and she felt so proud of him. Worry was forgotten when Boh asked her If shp would.like a bite to eat. Judy suggested that they , go home; It would bo so much cozier titan a restaurant Bobby liked the idea; too. At the apartment Bobby sat down to read an evening paper, while Judy pre­ pared a little spread. “It’s ready,” came the'sweet voice of, his wife from the next room. Though deep In the accour a large public meeting to welcon oldlers home to be held the nev y. Bob sprang up with alacrity r the fact that he was hungry was suddenly borne In upon him. . “Golly 1” he exclaimed for the third time that day, “a whole tablecloth and good things to eat sure do look good to _me,” : , ■ They sat down. < Thin slices of tender corned beef reposed on a platter, flanked on the right by—salmon, nestling In a bell of pale green lettuce! Judy caught the Involuntary expres­ sion of repugnance that.flashed across lier husband's face before a hastily summoned smile could dispel it. “1 know It’s the same thing over again,” she eald in a pleading voice, “but, Bob, you know I really haven't had time to stock np yet; and anywafy. we have to be economical for a while till ybu get your oid Job back.” But. this time the soldier training was again brought Into play, and the corned beef and salmon were once more bravely tackled. But, perhaps because Judy loved her husband so. the power wns given to her to rend him like a book. She was sure he was choking the food down just to please her, and again a tear appeared. This time Bobby saw I t . "What’s wrong, dear?” he asked contritely, suspecting the cause. > “Yon don’t like my cooking!” sob­ bed the girl, openly crying now. Of course there was nothing for Bob to do but to hurry around the table and take the little wife In bis arms. "You knew I couldn’t cook when you married me,” she choked, “and I haven’t had the chance to learn yet— but I will.” The walls of the little room echoed with Bob's laughter. Indignant, Judy tried to pull away, but his strong arms held her close. Then he told her of that awful ten days In the Ar- gonne forest when canned salmon and canned salmon only had been the regi­ ment's steady diet, three meals a day —and described the men's feeling to­ ward It, Then how, for more than two weeks, they had subsisted entirely on tinned corned beef, and how their Thanksgiving dinner had consisted of cnbbage'as the piece de resistance. “Don’t think for a minute that we complained,” he added hastily; “we were away ahead of our supplies and It .was unavoidable; nobody’s fault But, oh! Corned beef and salmon!”• Judy wns laughing through her tenrs now, and their first day ended hap­ pily. But there lias been neither corned beef nor salmon In their little apartment since, LONGED FOR NATIVE LAND “Good Old United States” Would Sat­ isfy This Exile for the Rest , of. His Life, An amusing story that Mr. E, ft. Sothern tells In a recent number of Scribner’s Magazine is apropos of the yearning for his own land so elmnic- teristlc of many an American trim .or and soldier; but It also reflects point­ edly on a less-pleasing trait, of which too many of our fellow countrymen have been guilty. I stood in the dounne, or custom­ house, on the border between Franco amt Switzerland, says Mr. Sothern. A ■portly ami prosperous-looking Amerl- !■can paced to and fro lmpntlently ns | his wife and threo ■ grown-up daugh­ ter* fuseea and famed over a nntnhcr of trunks full of clothing, My friend and I stood patiently-awaiting the In­ vestigation of our small belongings,’ The portly mao circled about us twice or thrice with inquisitive eyes. At last he approached, “American?” said be, “Yes, sir,” said L “Hal” said he. “I thought so,” and again he went to bis women and re­ garded them with disfavor.- Then he paced the floor again. Once more he approached us. » “Holiday?” | #Yes,” I replied, “we’re on n holi- • day,” “Ha!” said the restless one, and his glance wandered to his four women with no love therein, “How much longer have you?” said he, “I have about two weeks more,” said L “I wish I had ! I’ve got eight," said the exile. What .to film were the everlasting hills, the storied cities, the pellucid lakes, the sacred fanes, the legends, the immemorial halls? “Give me Pitts­ burgh!” I can hear him cry, “Little old Louisville is good enough for me!” And who shall mock his longing7 Wished to Be Ready. Fred McDowell, a dusky athlete from Texarkana, Ark., had Just regis­ tered at the offices of the board of civil service examiners In the Federal building to go to Camp Knox, near Stlthton, Ky„ as a laborer, and had been told to return next day for phys­ ical examination, . “Do they make a person strip for that examination?” he asked of Fred L. Stuart, secretary of the board. “How’s that” asked Mr. Stuart. “Do they make you take all your clothes off for the examination?” , “Oh, they’ll take your shirt off,” said Mr. Stunrt, “and If they think there’s any good reason, they may have you take off the rest of your clothes. Why, wlint’s the difference?” “Nothin' much, "only I want to take a bath—It’s a long time from Satur­ day night to Thursday.” LET IT BE IMPRESSED That all Soldiers, Sailors and Marines are invited and expected to be present"at Greene County’s Soldier Home Coming Celebration next Monday, Labor Day, September 1 Soldier, Sailor or Marine visitor in the county on that day are also honor guests.
