T was in a hut at one of the training schools
in France. He was a non-commissioned
officer. He had been in France for eight
months, and now was back from the front as

kind, a girl like his sisters, for weeks.
And there she stood behind the canteen
counter in this big, roomy, comfortable hut
He bought a bar of chocolate. Then he drifted
over to the group around the piano. Presently
he went back to the canteen ibr a package of
cigarettes. He strolled to the reading table and
leafed over a magazine. Again he returned this
time for a cake of soap and some tooth-paste.
t For a moment the
rush at the canteen was
over. He loitered at the
counter and looked

They are giving the huts a look of home
putting bright curtains at the windows, posters
on the,,.walls, making flower-gardens at the
doors. They are mending for the soldiers.
But, most of all, they are just being there!
They talk about the things that sound like
home. Perhaps they know the very towns
and streets and girls that these boys know.
They bind together home and France! They
are the girls beside the men behind the guns!
1 Without the organizations whose uniforms
they wear, these girls could accomplish nothing.
However eager to help,
they could not even
travel as individuals.
But with the backing
of these established, rec
ognized and regulated
bodies, they can work
wonders.
When you think of
vp.r as a brutalizing
force, think of Ameri
can womanhood work
ing with the soldiers in
this war then ivc, to
support the organiza
tions which make this
possible.
