VARIED SOCIAL LIFE OF
ARMY AND NAVY WOMEN

velously resourcefuI in devfSiIsSS varied
amusements within such Limitations.
The girl who pays a visit to one OF these
isolated army posts where there are a
number of young officers, enjoys a
homage calculated 20 turn the aead Of
the most sensible of Miss Columbia's
daughters. but the young brida who
gains her first experience of army life in
such environment is likely TO find need
for much patience, infinite social d.
plomacy, and not little philosophy,
and even this equipment may not save
her from s. few heartburnings.
In the navy the only women who enjoy
social life under conditions that cor
respond 10 those in the army ere those
whose husbands or fathers are stationed
at navy yards or naval stations. Such
an environment usually betokens condi-
lions as nearly ideal as may be. Tor the
navy yards are, almost without excep-
ton, located in or near large cities, and
thus the coterie OF navy women have not
only their own immediate circle, but also
the larger activities OF the urban COM
munity at hand. In both army and navy
service social life reaches the acme OF
perfection in development at the Ma
tional Capital. where there are con-
stanty on duty enough officers OF each
service TO make a community OF their
own, to say nothing of the numerous re-
tired officers who make their homes in

In the whole range OF our military

daughters have few advantages.
The social life of the army and navy
is an always interesting subject, be-
cause it is so full of contrasts and so
radically different from every other
sphere of similar activity. 1t Is only
occasionally that the general p g8ic has
forced upon 1t evidence that l-Iere are
shades as well as lights in this attrac-
tive existence AS it is, the evidence
contained in this petition to the Secre-
tary of War that all Is not sunshine in
the life of the army wife will soon be
forgotten by that very large portion
of the feminine public which is fasci-
mated by the most spectacular branch of
official life.
The social careers of most OF the
women of the army and navy may be
said TO begin at West Point or Anna
polls. for it is at the Military Academy
or the Naval Academy that the curtain
is rung up on most of the pretty little
romances which eliminate in service
weddings with an abundance of pomp
and gold lace. The winter is the sea-
son OF the greatest social activity at

which is remarkable. when one takes
into consideration that they climbed
several mountain peaks and visited
many points of interest.
There is no scenery anywhere in the
United Stazes which surpasses that of
the White Mountains, the Switzerland
of America" Mount Washington, the
highest peak. rises to a height of 6.292
feet, forming the grandest mountain
east of the Rockies. 1t is visited every
summer by thousands of tourists, who
ascend. for the most part, by means of
the most novel railroad in America.
The itinerary Of the boys was through
picturesque Freyburg, Ne: North Con-
voy and Intervale, n. H., and UP Mount
Washington through the famous Tuck
erman's ravine. During the ascent a
cold wind and rainstOrm overlook the
party when abo'lt half way up. and the
night had TO be spent at Hermit Lodge,
little shelter of rough boughs and
logs built by the Appalachian Mountain
Climbing Club. whose good1y offices
have been gratefully appreciated by
many a lost and benighted traveller. In
this shelter the party spent a most
uncomfortable night. the thermometer

wind blowing at sixty miles. After a |
breakfast Of graham crack |

Unlike most camps of this kind. the
boys have nothing to do with this de-
partment but eat. which they do. il Is
