Finally, when Mr. Ander- | son put it to him on patriotic grounds | and showed him that in his own ex- | periences he had a message of value | to every Amerfcan who donned the khaki, Empey consented to write the | book. “Then began the fastest preparation | of a book in the history of publishing, I honestly belleve,” sald Mr. Ander- ' son In telling of it. ‘“As fast as we could get Empey to put his thoughts on paper, we took the copy away | from him; so fast, in fact, that he says we literally choked it out of him. As it stands, ‘Over the Top' is really a soldier's notebook, but be- cause of Empey’s wonderful appre- ciation of the dramatic { morous incidents, it is probably the most human and most Amerlcan book that hes been written on the war, “Every word in it is Pvery thought In 1t is Empey's. Nothing was changed in the editing, ! or collating, and one of the ohief charms of the book is the simple language in which Empey tells his story. All the time he wrote as one another, because he had no idea that his book would become so universally popular, belleving, in- stead, that if it bad any appeal it would be to soldlers only. He told his varns just as he told them to me and other friends as we sat around in the evening in Jersey City listening to his recital.

Does it seem possible that, into into anything so big, so fine, so vital #s Red Cross work, there could pos- sibly come anything so petty, so ugly, so trivial as small personal feel- ings, narrow prejudices, social snob- bery ? And vet, not long ago a -woman told me that several of the women in her neighborhood who had for- merly been regular attendants in the | Red Cross workrooms, had given up | going there because they did not like the woman who had been put in charge. I tried to find out if the new head had been disagreeable or domiheer- ing in her attitude, but that did not seem to be the case. They simply did not like her, personally, as well as the woman who had preceded her, and they were registering their re- sentment at the change by staying away from the workroom! But This Is Not the Motive of Most ‘Women. And from a friend who has moved to a city which, though small, hae the reputation of being one of the most snobbish and clicquey in fhe I received this description of the attitude of several women she has met there: “One of the snobbiest things I ever heard was a criticism of the numbers of ordina: women who have tried #0 hard to ‘break into’ the Red Cross work."” Think of that! How Petty Both Classes Are How unbelievably petty, from both points of view,—that of the society woman who wants to keep the great privilege of working through Red Cross for our soldlers, for her- self and for a small, select gathering of her sisters; and that of the so- clal jelimber who calculatingly looks upon such work merely as a ladder by which she can climb into an quaintanceship with someone to whom she cringingly looks up as her soclal superior! They Get No spirituai War, How can they live in such tremen- Sense of the the | ac- | | dously blg times, petty as that? Still another friend told me of a woman of high social standing who gives teas and bazars for war chari- tis. Women of lesser social stand- ing are invited, and flock to them with joy, though the prices ars enor- mous, The privilege of meeting the hostess and saying they have been in her home is what thev pay for, not the tea or fancy articles. There are Just necessary camouflage. “Does she cut them afterwards?” someone asked. “Certainly not!" said her “She is a gentlewoman. course, she never has any acquaintance with them.” That incident is not quite so ugly. In fact, the hostess showed a com- mendable willingness to use her par- ticular talent for the good of the cause by capitalizing her social standing. One could wish obliged to remain fterwards perhaps ine too much and be so utterly friend But, of: personal she did not strictly that feel aloof, is ask- s0 but Many small ostrich tips piled on top of a close turban make a becom- ing trimming.
