American Women Make Aix-les-Bains a Real Home for U.S. Boys on Vacation From Trenches Beautiful Watering-place Among French Alps Provides 2,000 Tired Soldiers Every Day With Ccmfortable Quarters, Tasty Food, Sight-seeing Tours, Movies, Maga- zines, Dancing and, Best of All, the Opportunity to Meet and Talk With “Real American Girls.” boys in Aix-les-Bains every day now. They are there on vacation. French and English sol- dicrs go home when the time for leave comes. They see their wives, sweethearts and mothers, sleep com- fortably in the old familiar bed and eat home-cooking. They come back to their places in the Army re- freshed and renewed. But the American boy cannot go home. Either he must go without a vacation—which would mean un- happiness and reduced efficiency— or a home must be created for him in France. The Y. M. C. A. has undertaken the task of making that home for him. American Y. M. C. A. women have the largest part of the share ih the success attained. When the doughboy arrives at Aix—the beautiful and comfortable watering-place among the French Alps—everything is ready for him. The Army has furnished him with transportation and arranged to pay his hotel bill. The Y. M. C. A. finds him a room and arranges for his boerd. He is assigned to a gomfortable room in a good hotel, where he can have French cooking, as a change from American fare, freedom from military discipline, be for eight days his own master, and so get a real rest. Settled in his room, the boy heads for the casino, the center of interest in the town. This magnifi- cent structure set down amid hand- some gardens, was at once the play- ground and the gambling haven of the aristocracy of Europe. Aristocracy Lends Color A few of the aristocracy still come, to Aix to mingle with the doughboys and lend color to the scene. The casino has been taken over by the Y. M. C. A. and is operated as a club free to all en- listed men. It is here that the American women preside. These boys may not have seen an Amer- 1can woman for six or eight months, and these women are to them moth- ers and sisters for the time being— there to make their vacation a real home coming. Mrs. Helen Bagley Anderson, of Celorade Sorings and Detroit, THERE are nearly 2,000 dough- carries the spirit of the place. A doughboy doesn’t stay long in Aix before ‘““Mother” Anderson finds him. She gets his name, learns where he is from and welcomes him in just the manner to put him completely at home. “Sergeant,” she calls to a “young” veteran who wanders in late. “Why is 1t I never see you till 5 o'clock in the afternoon? We have picnics, excursions and hikes. You can go up Mount Revard by train and see Mount Blanc. You can go for a boat ride on the lake; there is the bathing beach we have fixed up for you, and you know the tennis courts and the athletic fields are open. There are lots of nice American girls here to talk to, there are books, magazines, easy chairs and billiards. Why don’t you ever come before five?” “Well, lady,” I wakes up maybe about eight and then rolls over and sleeps some more. And when I've finished a’'sleeping in that nice soft bed, I just lies there and thinks how lucky I am.” But the “younger” boys, who rep- resent the mass, gather early for the doings and stay late. They are eager to talk to the two score Amer- ican Y. M. C. A. women there to help make their stay pleasant. These women, old and young, work under Mrs. Anderson’s directlon. Mrs. T. R, Jr., Starts Work Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., or- ganized the work of the Y. M. C. A, women at Aix, and Mrs, Aade“son succeeded her, when Mrs. Roose- velt was called to do larger work im the women’s end of the Y. M. C. A organization in Paris headquarters. The older women chat with the boys, draw them out about home and motker, sew on their buttons, serve them food and drink and cheer them. The younger women, besides working in the canteen, go with the boys on excursions and picnic parties, give them tea parties on the lawn in the afternoon and dance with them and share their entertainments in the evening. Ask any doughboy leaving Aix what he thought of his stay there. “Wonderful place, bully time, real vacation—and how good it was to see and get to really talk to Amer ican women.” Tute GENTAUR GOMPANE: i L NEW YORK. 5 old ALG nmni;g CENTS, Exact Copy of Wrapper.
