The “Y" is their “home away from home,” but it’s mothers, sisters and sweethearts they're missing tight now. You méthers don’t need to be afraid to let your precious girls go there. These kids are 100 per cent swell, and you'll find not one skulk- |ing villain in a shipload. They can lrecagnize a lady at 20 paces and treat her as such. Of course there may be romances, it’s inevitable. In fact it will never take the .|place of the horseless carriage, but: you don’t need to be afraid of that either. Your girls will have a fine time, widen their circle of acquaintances, something nice for a bunch of real chance to show that they appre- ciate what the “Y” is trying to ac- complish, and ease that big lump you're homesick.
