Qxiietly performing the simple, and probably . somewhat boring, task of driving trucks in convoy, more than 100 young women have stopped overnight at the hotel across the street already this week. By simple I do not mean easy, : for handling a heavy truck is no light - work and driving in convoy Js a real art, I'm told. Most of these girls wear civil- Ian slacks, shirts and kerchiefs a few are uniformed. '. Entirely without .glamour, the job: they do definitely ; replaces men. Truth of the matter is, most spots where women can replace men in the war seem without glamour to me. V - Just what Is this magic quality sometimes connected ? with per manent waves and nail lacquer? Monday night X went to the circus with a charming girl ; I should, guess Is 18. Last year I took an 8-year-old. Last year's companion said when the glittering bareback riders came into view "Ah-h-h. isn't she be-yoo-tiful? O-h-h, look at that one! Isn't she lovely?" Last night's said of the dark hair that cascaded down . the back of an olive-skinned, beautifully-formed young rider, "Bet that's a wig!" I could not fully agree with either. But I .jcouldnt help wondering if glamour Isn't a delightful thing which goes with childhood. Grow up, or even start to grow up, and much that Is glamorous melts away.-." So, perhaps it is my advancing age that makes the necessary jobs like driving truck seem lacking in color, beauty glamour, if you please.
