real patriotism is inspiring these
women 10 see that no man In uniform
is overlooked in the effort to comfort
and entertain all.
Divers ways are being looked up
by local society women TO please the
boy In khaki or the boy in sailor
suit. IL seems the things the lad
like best of all are dancing and tins
touch of home Many very amusin
bits relative TO the lads are heard, u
things that please and vice Yers'
At meeting a few days ago at whic
were some of our soldier lads Il
question OF dues was brought up, ar-
one OF the women present made the
suggestion of dollar year. The
soldier lad arose TO say that ne
thought the dues should be two dol
lars and fifty cents quarter and also
an entrance fee should be charged. Ha
also stated that about one Thousand
men here would be eligible "a mem.
bership in this club, When asked
what we should do with so much
money he readily replied, Have
good time. Every soldier can and
wants to pay, and we have plenty OF
money" That is the type OF lad that
America has for ffghters--nothing on
earth Is too good for them and they
are right; they fight like fighters and
they live when not fighting like
princes. Go into any cafe and watch
soldiers dinner-a steak as thick
as board is all he will have. The
boys don't want charity from any OF
us. The thing that makes them all
better fighters is the kindly, motherly
home interest.
Make it your business to invite at
least three enlisted men week 10
your table. No matter how homely
your food and your home, it is being
with you that makes the soldiers
happy. They don't want you TO go
TO movies or a dance. All they want
"a TO sit and talk and let them DO
some talking. They nave thousand
things they want TO say that tneyl
know full well no man understands.
III there is a child in the home let hinh,
talk TO the little one. He is better
for. IL and feels the kindness extended.
Last Sunday at Mrs. Lucas's home
bows ON leaving came to her with
their eyes trimming over with tears
OF gratitude. telling of the happiness
they had felt, and one said It was the
bappiest day he had had since ne lett
his mothers home.
So we women who have no place AT
the front have big place here.
There are dozens of women here VINO
can tell the timid sister what to DO,
for we are not all clever along the
same lines, and to those OF us who
know falls the task Of instructing the
willing but timid sister. One OF Ho-
nolulu's young society matrons who
has been especially helpful to the en-
listed men and with whom they feel
q special friendship was asked to walt

II Is happy statement 70 make that
about one.haif Of the homes here are
entertaining our fighting lads, and SO.
il should be. The old soldier, gen;
eraiiy speaking. prefers his own
method of entertainment, but the re-
crufts are the lonely ones, for almost
In every case they are lads Just out
OF colleges or high schools or young
men who have been In business life
but q short time. Naturally they are
the most lonely. Gen. Johnson, com.
menting on all that is being done tor
the boys, commends it highly.
