'A BIT OF THE MISSUS' CAKE.'

The Military Hospitals are regularly visited by the S.A. Officers who have some interesting stories to tell. A British Tommy in hospital at Versailles told the inquiring visitor that he was 'going on alright '.but ho would so like 'a bit of Missus' cake.'

'All right; you shall have it,'.said tho Salvationist, :if you let me know where she lives.'

A letter was duly sent calling for some horoe-mado cake, and the reply came back: 'Are you sure he's my husband" The War Office say he'is dead.'

Further inquiries established tlie soldier's identity, and the cake was sent with a passionate' letter, and pages of 'kisses' for the husband once mourned as dead.—"War Cry,"
