90 to a home in Washington on Thanks
giving day where there would be a baby
he could hold while the mother is getting
dinner has made a big hit with the moth
ers. Four letters in the Soldier Guest Edi-
tors mail today asked that that soldier
be assigned to come and play with their
baby, and. motherl;ke, each letter con-
tained very partial eulogy Of what a
nice baby rules that home.
This particular soldier could not
fairly be expected to eat four dinners
of the sort that the Washington house
wives are planning to serve, but there
are plenty of other soldiers who have
little babies in their own homes who
will be glad to take baby into their
note not; the h Il interest sfts the mem in uniform m
have taken in the children of the
homes.
Testify the Eagerness.
Scores of letters continue to testify
the eagerness of the women of Wash
ington to do their utmost in giving
holiday cheer to the lonesome men
called to the colors.
Some are not forgetting the French
and English soldiers who are in WASH
ington, and a number have asked par
ticularly for allies. One hospital SER
Eeant who has just returned from the
Englishman and Frenchman be as
aigned to him to entertain. He said
the wish was not unselfsh, and that he
wanted to meet the allies and to make
them feel at home in the Capital city,
and to show them that the Americans
arc not all money-grabbers.
Here Is the way in which the woman
folks bid the soldiers. sailors and ma
Iines make thepselves at home with
them: y
