enough; she had hard face, heavily rouged
checks and shifty eyes. Mrs. Douglass evil
IDENTIFY shared my opinion of her, for she po-
litely requested her to leave the park and
asked the sailor to act as our escort to the
gate. On the way she told the young man
some plain truths about life in general, and
the young lady from whom we had rescued
him in particular
WHAT is THERE FOR THEM AT HOME?
And so it went on all the evening and far
into the night. We talked with dozens of SOL
diers and sailors and dozens of girls-all kinds
of girls, good and bad, and some that were on
the threshold between the good and the bad
and only needed little push to send them one
way or the other. Some of Sne younger ones
the fourteen and fifteen year old ones-we
took home to their mothers, who usually re-
ceived them with recrimination and even curses.
And what homes! Stufy, squalid rooms
filled with screaming dirty children. Do you
wonder that girl who has spent all day in a
factory or a sweatshop goes to the park for
her evening recreation? OF course, you don't.
And can't you realize what the glamour of
uniform means to such girl? sailor or
a soldier is to her being from another sphere.
She is fairly hypnotized by the stories Of his
adventures. This is RoMANcE-the only ro-
nance that has ever come into her life outside
that which she sees in the moving picture
houses. Do you wonder at the lure of the uni
form or the popularity of the park bench
when shared by one Of these heroes? You do
not, if you are human.

Thanks-for strong souls made eager for
The perfect sacrifice.
For faiths re-risen, like a star,
For Royalties reborn;
For all who shall be-all who are
Found worthier; for the cross, the thorn,
The lance of parting in the side;
Even for our broken hearts that break
For honor's sake
Bravely; they shall be healed by pride
In one who makes herself again
The star-hope Of a world Of men.
But most-give thanks, America,
You come not all too late;
God grants you STILL to live or die
Nobly, one hour of Fate;
