"Oh, Spring is here, the golden sun Has routed Winter's gloom!" 2nd Maiden. "Good gracious! Jane has not begun To scrub the dining-room!" 1st Maiden. "And now the first sweet buds appear, Symbolic of new hope." 2nd Maiden. "I didn't say 'carbolic, dear, I want the yellow soap." 1st Maiden.

Carbolic I-30, Platt's chlorides, permanganate of potash, or something that will answer the purpose; bichloride of mercury, etc. You must find out from the physician which he prefers, and of what strength.
Betty and Lewis set off in high spirits, and had the most thrilling escapes and adventures in the Ypres section that would alone fill a book. They were with the Battery in the early summer when the first gas attack swept over, and caught them at "Hell fire Corner" on the Ypres-Menin road.
