We have all wept ily because we were too little to get into the games of big boys. You may have noticed the contented smile of the r and sock knitters of the present day; you may also noticed the important air with which mother and bustle off to Red Cross headquarters; or the self- ifident, pleased smile with which mother reminds the amily that it is meatless or wheatless day and she has ited a splendid substitute for the forbidden dish. You e seen all these things, but did you stop to think that this new air of cheerfulness, self-respect, and friendly, ing activity among the womenfolk means just one ng—the newly awakened, divine sense of being “in it”? e United States is at war—and women are “in it.” foo little have they been given a part in the affairs of the , but in this hour of effort for the whole people, are allowed a decidedly important part “in it.” Republican politicians down at Washington are complaining that Wilson isn’t calling on republicans to help manage the war.
