There are successful novel- ists who typewrite their stories as stenographers type mail, and you can almost hear the rattle of the space bar, they are so metallic. Then, there are great writers who measure their output by pipes and take their own sweet time about it. The Typists write to sell. The Pipists write to excel. Same with Men’s clothes.

It’s Popular Doughboys and Gobs Flock to West Side | | Branch, Where Welcome Always Awaits Them. : By Zoe Beckley. ‘6 M I being kidded, or ts it @ fact that two women have set up housekeeping in this here place? What—it's true? And there's tea tables and wicker chairs with flowered stuff on ‘em, and fancy writing desks and lamps and magazines and a ¢ase of pinks and everything? Say! Drag me to it, will you? I haven't talked to a regu- lar girl for eleven months, And say —would sew a button on, do you think?” He stood in the doorway of the West Side “Y" in 57th Street, and he was an angular, weather-tanned doughboy, fresh out of camp, who had been nineteen months in France. ‘The man at the information desk, grinning at Buddy’s eagerness, point- ed to a corner of the lobby. “Over there,” he said, “where you see the piano and the gob snoozing | in the easy chair. Go right in. The girls will do the rest.” In five jumps he reached the open door, Big Sister Bertha Laurie and Big Sister Marion Watts, in their overseas uniforms with the rainbow on the sleeve, were pouring tea and passing crackers. The doughboy stood and stared. yf “Well,” he gasped, “if this don't beat h—. I mean, ain't it just H-O-M-E! I guess it took the war to show the ‘Y’ it couldn’t get along» without the women!” In two shakes of a lamb's tail he was inside, stowing away the refresh- ments with bis coat off while Big Sister Laurie was sewing a button on bis flapping flannel cuff. He was right about the war teach- ing the Y. M. C. A. that it needed the | feminine touch. For years the West Side Branch has been worrying along with gomething missing; it didn’t know what. It had its classes and its gym and its dormitories and its res- taurant and its easy chairs and its this and that and the other, But there was something the matter somewhere. Nobody realized it was because there wasn't a woman about the place. The Executive Secretary, FE. Graham Wilson, and some of the others were suddenly inspired from heaven. Miss Laurie of Bellefonte, Pa., and Miss Watts of Harrisburg, who had served as “Y" Secretaries in France and Germany, had come home wit hthe Rainbows, and why not set them up in an improvised “house” partitioned off from the main lobby, give them a free hand in furnishing it—and see what would happen! What happened can best be realized by the person who drops in any eve- ning between § and 9 P. M. There jare other times, ‘too, but those are the rush hours. Lonesome lads in khak! and shy gobs in blue edgg up toward the open door in twos ‘and threes, hardly believing their eyes, then sidle in, and the first thing you know, some one has tackled the piano, and the rest is easy. It's | HOMF, that's all, SOMETIMES THEY JUST SIT INA CORNER AND LOOK, “Seems like some of these boys didn’t realize,” says Miss Laurie, “how much they needed mothering and big-sistering till they came in jj here. ietimes they just come in and sit in a corner and look. Others | make for the writing materials and Pe start letters to the folks back home. | Again they will be hungry for talk and will crowd around, chatting and reminiscing till we feel as happy and popula: It is a perfect joy to see how they respond to our friendliness.” Miss Watts broke in to explain that there is only one thing barred, and that ts formality, “We are going to make this corner as near like home as it's possible to \do. No fuss, no cémpany manners, no leffort to entertain, Just a case of do- ing whatever you like, however you like it, We are going to sew and mend and darn, Or sing a song, Or |play jazz. Or classics. Or take a hand at checkers. Or listen to some- body's story if he wants to tell it to us. We'll even advise, if he asks us to, just as his sister’or his mother would do if they could. “Whether the fellows are returned |soldiers and sailors, or whether they Jare just boys who are away from the binding debutantes in a hall room, | Back to the land of Com- fort—which means to don a suit of Rockinchair. If you want freedom—from of ordinary underwear— buy Rockinchair, home making their way in the dig | city, we want to be their big sisters, or thelr ‘mothers’ if they'll let us. They liked it all in France, and we think they’ll like it here.” Miss Laurie and Miss Watts are [i rather too youthful to suggest the role fertekus franc in the Adirondacks or at Saratoga, of mother to the sprawling big chaps |n'rrancé sone. The Weadns will be who make such good use of the "Y's" new hoine corner. Yet they have had birthdays enough to make them un- derstand when Bill or Peter confides about that girl whose picture has been toted around in an inner pocket since goodness knows when, And to offer sensible suggestions in the case { that quarrel. Or the letter that didn't seem to mean exactly what it said. Or any of those other things that & fellow gets perplexed about once in & while. Both young women were selected for service abroad use they were po- culiarly fitted personality and temperament to be the useful all- around pals and helpers they have deen for more than eighteen months. First they were located at Is-sur- Tille with the Service of Supplies. | ‘Then they were at Bar-le-Duc, where | the jelly comes from, and finally were sent to Rolandseck-on-the-Rhine, with the Army of Occupation, being assigned to the 166th Infantry, a part | of the 424, or Rainbow, Division. There were a good many times when those fellows over there “needed a friend,” and not one time when Miss Laurie or Miss Watts failed them. The boys paid them the cherished compliment too of calling them af- fectionately “Mother,” notwithstand- ing their lack of gray hairs and com- fortable double china. “Ain't it funny,” as one buck pri- vate put it, “how they've got tho knack of being your ma one minute and your sister the next? Women,” he concluded, with a sageness beyond his twenty-two years, “do make things better somehow, whether it is war time or peace time, or over there re, i used to think girls or over was in the way when there was any- thing big doin’.
