Porch benches have become cobwebbed and the dance records covered with dust. The only consolation in the mandess desert being censored letters describing the charms of French damsels. Our girls have been out of luck, but with typical feminine ingenuity they are solving the problem. Impelled by noble patriotism the lonesome Lydias, who never before did harder labor than add a bridge score incorrectly, are doing war work. And duty is doubly sweet when the war work brings them into well-chaperoned society with the handsomest, huskiest young heroes | that ever wore uniforms.

Copyright, 1918, by The Press Publishing Co, (The New York Evening World.) T" beauty and romance of the Red Cross nurse still persist through ] the grim realism and horror of the worst and greatest of all wars. And it 1s delightful to turn, for a bit, from the tales of bloody achievement with which the war books are filled and read of what the war nurse means in light and loveliness on the fleld of battle. She has received no tribute more charming than that pald to her by Arthur Hunt Chute in his dramatic and un- usually well written book of the war, which he has called “The Real Front.” Capt. Chute 1s a Nova Scotian who went over as a private with that immortal group of Homeric heroes, the Ist Canadians. He served for two years on the western front, and was so seriously wounded leading his men at the Battle of the Somme that he was dis- charged. Recently he has been engaged in valuable war propaganda in this country, and he writes with fine appreciation, In “The Real Front,” of the part American men and American methods will play in winning the war.
