But alas, what am I to do? For although I reported this being inthe Garage to mother, she but said:

"Don't worry me about him, Bab. He is hopelessly inefficient. Butthere are no Men Servants to be had and we'll have to get along."

1 A. M. I sometimes have been on watch all evening, but everything is quiet.

I must now go to bed, as the Manual says, page 166:

"Retire early and get a good evening's rest."

APRIL 16TH. In camp. Luncheon of sardines, pickels, and eclairs asno one likes to cook, owing to smoke in the eyes, etcetera.

Camp convened at 12 noon, as we spent the evening helping to getmembers of the 0ther Sex to enlist. We pinned a pink Carnation on eachEnlister, and had to send for more several times. We had quite a Crowdthere and it was fairly polite except one, whom exclaimed he would enlisttwice for one kiss. The 0fficer however took him by the ear and exclaimedthe Army did not wish such as he. He then through (threw?) him out.

This morning I warned the quite new Chauffeur, feeling that if he had bychance any Milatary Secrets in the Garage he should know about William.

"William!" he exclaimed, looking up from where he was in the Repair Pitat the time. "WILLIAM!"

"I am sorry, Henry," I exclaimed, in a quiet voice. "But I fear thatWilliam is not what he apears to be."

"I think you must be mistaken, miss." He then hameblack for sometime. When he was through he climbed out and said: "There's to muchSpy talk going on, to my thinking, miss. And anyhow, what would aSpy be after in this home?"

"Well," I observed, in an indignant manner, for I am sensative andhate to have my word doubted, "as my father is in a business whichis now War Secrets and nothing else, I can understand, if you can't."

He then turned on the engine and made a terrable noise, to see ifhitting on all cylinders. When he shut it off I told him aboutWilliam spending a half hour in the Garage the day before. Althoughcalm before he now became purple with anger and exclaimed:

"Just let me catch him sneaking around here, and I'll--what's heafter me for anyhow? I haven't got any Milatary Secrets."
