The German deserter recalls a long night retreat after the Marne and a grueling march forward. Recovered in a village, they endure hunger and bombardment while fortifying trenches that will host brutal, months-long fighting.
The narrative describes civilians in a Cernay en Dermois barn guarded by soldiers to deter spies. Shell bombardments destroy homes and kill two women and a child while civilians are interned and fed like troops. After ten weeks they move toward Montmedy near Verdun, noting war’s wide reach and soldiers in uniform.
The feature highlights waterproof bathing outfits and accessories in rubber cloth and rubberized fabrics. Caps, mantles, and scarfs come in styles from nurse cap inspired headwear to sailor shapes, with fringe finishes and contrasting color trims. Colors range from rose and sea green to blues and oranges.
After marching 15 kilometers the unit reached Jametz and was hosted by locals with coffee milk and meat. They moved to Damvillers then Wavrille near the firing line and occupied an abandoned house. Fifteen men joined an infantry company while artillery kept a weak back and forth with little musketry.
The passage posits that success comes only from hard work and training. It argues no one has a right to ability without preparation, warning that undeveloped talent leads to disappointment. It asserts that what others have achieved through labor is attainable by effort, not by luck or advertisement.
The article notes women shift from summer hats to demi season tailored hats by August, favoring silks and fabrics over straws. It highlights three fall models including a beige navy taffeta hat with chenille beads, a white taffeta crown with wool embroidery and navy wings, and a ribbed bow hat with varied facings in porcelain blue and other soft colors.
A new ribbon with a brilliant luster imitates patent leather and is suited for hat trimming. It can be crushed into bows or ornaments without damaging the patent leather look.
Leader Grasshopper stages a village circus at grass grounds drawing a huge crowd of bugs and insects. Lady ants and grasshoppers prepare lemonade while crickets provide music and performances. Each act showcases clever insect tricks with playful humor and a happy ending.
A wry exchange contrasts presence of mind with the grim joke that absence of body is “a lot better.” The line reflects a dark, humorous tone likely from a local column or feature.
