American soldier is making on the Germans. They want him as —yes, more—than the Allied Generals want him. And—they tell him so, There is another casualty list with which American women must reckon—loss in prospective husbands, One who has lived and fought in France for a few months and then returned to the States can easily under- stand the growing tendency of our boys over there to marry French girls, with memories of the “advanced” American girl fresh in his mind. Back of it all there is the big change in the man, the glamour war has! thrown about him, the obedience to natural instincts so long dormant or thrust aside while he fought for existence in peace times, the unafraid, unabashed | wooing of man by woman.
