I ABBEVILLE.I
I ABBEVILLE. I AN OLD-WORLD TOWN ON THE SOMME I ———— a OOXE can imagine Abbeville as the per- M B feet town of the day-dreamer—in | Limes of peace. One can picture I how strong would be the lure or the paxjt, | how insistent would be its ghosts for attention—if the days were otherwise. Abbeville—there is charm in the very name—its cobbled and twisting streets were mount tor the eaunterer, for the! poet, for the student of history. Sur,,Iy it must have been along these narrow I streets that the immortal musketeers gal-; loped when they rode to Calais and England tor the Queen. D'Artagnan fits j well into such a setting. Here Wolsey came in great state and signed tin*. alliance with Francis of France. Here, in the church whose towers are upon one j I at a sudden street-turn, here Louis XII. | wedded if a ry Tud-or, sister of our much- | married Henry. Here the English reign-ed j | for 200 years. But in Abbeville to-day there is no time for day-dreaming. Abbeville i.6 on the line between the British sea-bases and the southern front, and it is the present which calls to one there, eÍÏec- tively subduing the lure of the past. At; j ji Abbeville, when the atmosphero is still. one can hear the drum-roll of tho guns on the Ant-re and the Somm?—a faint. atrll note like the last tremblings of thunder before the storm departs. How many of our lads know the quaint old town, either in health or in pain! Strange it was to walk the Rue Boucher- j jjj de-Perthes and come across a group of | lads discussing in Welsh the beauties of rip Cnurhet monument, to enter the church of St. Wulfran and find juder its venerable roof Monsignor j taking around a party of Poilus and men in kltaki. to hear a regiment COlllP tramp, tramp, over the cobbled street sad singing our music-hall classics. No, in Abbeville to-day the present over- powers the past, great and full though the tale of the centuries must be. For out of Abbeville the French King marched to the field of Crecy. Through Abbeville went the pursuit. To-day French and British prepare for a common task. Some day there will be British soldiers, who have learned to love this town on the Somme, who will return to it and renew acquaintance with its charming people and its na,rrow streets where the houses stretch across as if anxious to join. They will pause once again before the wonder- ful front of the church, gazing at the marvellous door?, in which the very spirit of the Renaissance has been caught. And, as of yore, they will enter softly, walking rever- entially up to the Chapelle de Notre Dame des Merciers, where, ffamed in a gilded Gothic canopy, the Madonna is sculptured standing upon the clouds, and among her angels. Not only St. Wolfran will they re-visit; thel-e is the Hotel Dieu—where the air is heavy with antiquity and peace —and the Eglise du St. Sepulcre, hidden away in a maze of little streets, and the beautiful lfamlioyant portal of St. Gilles I on the road which leads to the front. rhe Somme tiows through the heart of the town. Its course is imprisoned between the houses, and fishermen can ply their hobby, from the kitchen windows. And then, freed from these narrow confines, i it opens out and becomes a river: running past promenades laid out as only the French know how-statelv avenues of giant trees trimmed with" precision and mathematically ordered. But about Abbeville itself there is an indefinable charm. Wander out of the main road, and you may lose yourself in little streets which sednee you onward, past courtyards through which you f-atch a glimpse of pleasant houses. Here even to-day, the present drops away, and you are surrounded bv the influences of another and more romantic age, an age when war was even picturesque, ;vhen D'Artagnan, Aramis, Parthos aftd Athos slashed their way into fame, when war was chivalrous, and France, always with enemies, fought-anti respected—her antagonists. Here is, the very mansion in which the great Cardinal might have stayed when he came to Abbeville to r-ign the alliance. A eudaen turn and you are back in the! main street. Whiff goe-s the p'ist. There is a rumbling of guns over ti*e cobbles. the marching of feet. And perhaps the passing of ambulance cars. Xo, the real charm of Abbeville is not to be appre- hended in war time. After the peace one I must return. J.D.W.

I TOO ILL TO MARRY.
TOO ILL TO MARRY. The marriage which was to have taken place betwo^en Miss Phyllis Dare and Mr. Paul Rubens has been abandoned owing to Mr. liubens's serious lung trouble and the fact that the specialists have refused to allow him to contemplate marriage for a long time to come. The greatest sympathy will be felt for Miss Dare and Mr. Rubens, to whom the doctors have practically given no choice in the matter. Miss Dare and Mr. Rubens have been engaged for -some time, and were to have been married at the end of the run of U Tina," when Miss Dare intended retiring from the stage.
