My Dear Sis: ? - j Your letter of interest came a few i; days ago, and oh, bow much I did . appreciate hearing from you again i I had begun to think that I wouldn't! 1 hear from you soon. I have been! - getting; along just as well as if I had t; been at home, since I came over ; i here. Yes I wish that I could have j ? been with you when you were out j i* looking over the country. I think 1 j 5' could have enjoyed myself just as well as I did when we were over t there together. I have often thought . of the little walk since I came over; " here. Yes. 1 often hear from my girl, i 2 She writes me every week, so yon j 2 see that I can hear from her about i t ; every week, and in fact T do hfea * ' J y from tier almost every week. And i 5 you know that means the world to j 1 me and of course she says that my j t. letters mean much to her. You ask ! t me if it was hot over here. No it! & isn't near so hot here as it is where 3 you live. I am sleeping under four e blankets, so you see that it isnt so i hot after all. I haven't been hot this ?; summer, in fact, it doesn't seem as o | we have had summer yet. But I ! guess it will all be made up this | winter with cold weather. They say I & it gets very cold here in winter. But: e 11 think we have plenty of everything j o I to keep us warm for winter. I can't e! tell you where I am as you ask me to - i This would be contrary to regulay j tions. I can tell you that I am havn! ing all I want to eat and a good place yito sleep every night. I wish I could y | have seen you when you came out -, of the garden. I wish that I could have been with you. J am sure w?sj ii ] would have found something good ro f ti' eat. You ask me what kind of work 1; r did. I am Sgt. for my company, and ^ | to tell you just what I do, I >. j suess about the biggest job T have - is eating./ I stay around tie kitchen t and see that everything is cooked e right and eat in line. In other words - T am running a boarding house, about r all the difference I can see I don't have to buy my groceries. 1 Do you ever hear from Walter or -! anv of our people at home. I haven't : heard from any of them since I came over here. I do hear from Ola al? most every week. The last letter 3 that I had from her she said that 1 about all the girls were getting mar, ried around home. . But you knoT 2 that doesn't worry me, when I have' 1 already made my selection elser where. So you see that I don't have little thing like this to think about, s But she did tell me of two or three e that I was surprised to hear of them s being married, and T don't believe a they could have married so easy m peace times. I have always heard that there was some one for every one. and now I believe it. Give Aunt - Sock and all my best regards. If you rt see Aunt Lucy tell her that I wrote her about three months ago but I haven't heard form her .but I guess e she hasn't time to write. I must close for this time with lots of love to you.

C. 9-27 i From a Friend in France. i By Harry Emerson Focdick. In this war we have accepted manv things that were strange and revolutionary, but nothing much more novel than the place of woman at the fronf. and immediately behind it. Women, as has been said more than once, have ci-aravc fniinwed armies, a shameful group of lamentable attachees. But our armies are "being followed by our, best womanhood, a splendid company i of nurses and canteen workers, with the Y. M. C. A. and Red Cross, and thousands of others, too, who. unable to fight like their brothers with the j same spirit of devotion are tele-; <jraphers, telephone operators, ste- j nographers, and. by multitudes, mu-j nin'on workers. The average American, thinking of; these women overseas, takes them! for granted as he would the army, j THE YOUTH'S COMPAMOX is worth more to family life today than ever before. Today, those who are responsible for the welfare of the family realize the imperative need of worth-while reading and what ?t means to individual character, the home life and the state. Everywhere the waste and chaff, the worthless and inferior, are going to the discard. The Youth's Companion stands firsl. last and continually for the best there is for all ages. It has character and creates like character. That is why in these sifting times, the family turns to its 52 issues a year full of j entertainment and suggestion and information, and is never disappointed It costs only $2.00 a year to provide your family with the very best readying matter published.

But one who has lived in France sees that they cannot be taken for granted and left thus to the mercy of acc:dental circumstance. They constitute a problem as well as an asset. Whe-'e are they to live? Under what condi-1 tions? With what opportunity for' normal rest and recreation? Can any. 1 one with any imagination once face i the question and not feel its magnitude? ! France neither in her hotels, her j I public recreations, nor. deeper yet, in hsr fMistnms r>f farnilv life ami her at- t titude toward woman was in the least prepared for this invasion of Aineri- j can girls and this aggregation in h^r ! munition factories of her own unat- ; tached womanhood.

W. C. A. would not be there at all. Moreover, in the cities like Par's the plight of American women working at a thousand tasks, sometime? ; transient, sometimes permanent, might well be most embarrassing.
