GENERAL GRANTS ANSWER

There is more than a possibility
that the war will be brought to a sud
den end by Germany, while she is still
on French and Belgian soil, if she can
do so. in the hope of bargaining with
the allies around the peace table. The
proposal of the new chancellor for inn
mediate cessation of hostilities is CAM

The appointment Of Prince Maximil-

socialists into the government were
merely forerunners of another peace

, form very definite ideas as to the
| character of women most useful in
this service. And one of these con-
illusions that she has drawn is this:
That fat women are the least desir-
able.
One of the reasons given by Mrs
Vanderbilt for this is, she says, that
they lack the endurance that thin,
wlry women have exhibited under
long hours of work.
In this work of preparing the sand
wiches, coffee, ETC., at the canteen
and serving them at stations and
camps means long hours of standing,
and women who are heavyweights tire
very quickly at this,
As war has demolished many the
cries in vogue for years and some of
them musty with the age of centuries,
Mrs. Vanderbilt cited one that she
herself can vouch for, and that is that
fat women are even tempered, good
natured and easygoing.
we have always thought that rolls
of fat covering the nerves somehow
protected the nerves from strain"
said Mrs Vanderbilt. However, this
is not SO, as l have observed in this
work The only women who grew
easily lllDutltlJ anu HOW ana dSdllt
hysterical, were fat women,
And, besides, it has been proved
T, that they cannot stand the strain of
the work nearly co we'll as slender
women. I say this in reference to the
small degree of sickness we have had
among our canteen workers. Colds,
| pneumonia and bronchitis cases,

confined to the stout women in the
! service.

| bilt, ut is much more difficult for
| stout women to get about. For in
stances, we serve men at railway sta

| the. work women have climbed from
| one train to another, and there is such
small space that slender women man

| Space is a valuable thing in all army
work, and even the cots are narrow,
and often have to be fitted into small
| space
This seems bit hard on the stout
women, but these are facts gained
from actual day after day experience
in canteen service.
The ideal age of canteen work

Mrs. Vanderbilt. that girls who ans

American soldier over here, a very
great service.

Paris, Sept. elf there are any
strong, athletic young women who de-
voted their summer to golf and other
seasonal pleasures perhaps they will
pause now and consider this call to
service in France.
The call was voiced to me recently
by Mrs. w. X. Vanderbi For more
than a year, directly after our coun-
try entered the war, Mrs. Vanderbilt
took charge of the canteen service for
the Red Cross.
As the American army grows in
numbers, the increased demand for
such canteens presents pressing
need, Mrs. Vanderbilt explained. At
the same time, she pointed out, girls
engaged in the present service were
working, often fourteen hours a day,
and that girls to tighten the work of
this, number We're very much needed.
I'VE are anxious to establish a
number of additional canteens at
points throughout France said Mrs.
Vanderbilt, through which the Amer
lean boys pass on their way to the
front. If we had the workers we
could do this, as this is the only reason
we have not been able to open these
extra canteens.'
While the desire to recruit a large
number of women for this work fills
Mrs. VanderbiPs working hours with
considerable anxiety, she explained
that the women who present them
selves for this work should be essen
TALLY TIE right sort
THE chief consideration" said
Mrs. Vanderbilt, 'is good health. I'M
less a girl is strong and has splendid
health she is useless for this work"
| asked Mrs. Vanderbilt what class
of girls had proved the best workers
THE butterfly type of girl So
called" said Mrs. Vanderbilt, has
been magnificent. She is most adapt
able to conditions. This is because
she has had no preconceived notions
about how to do and how not to carry
on certain pieces Of work The adapt
able girl is invaluable. OF course,
sooner or later they all adapt them
selves perfectly to the work, but some
do it much more quickly and easily
than others.
"The woman who has had executive
experience | find, has a much more
difficult time of adjusting herself to
this work She has her own notions
of how things should be done. OF
course in this service, working in close
connection with the American army,
and subject to its regulations, there
is only one course to pursue. lnnoNa-
tons and experiments are not de-
sired, particularly at this time

she recalled certain experiences in

Ellabelle Mae Doolittle, the noted
poetes of Delhi, sat on the front porch
of her home dreaming. Several per-
sons who knew her passed the house
and were not even recognized. Thus
is was plain she was in the throes of
her genius
Mrs. Peter p. Doolittle, mother of
the famous girl, came out on the porch
with the dust pan and broom. She
swept while the girl dreamed.
, "Oh, Ellie, move your feet, please, =
Mrs. Doolittle said. She wished to re-
move a large quantity of dirst from
beneath the feet of her illustrious
daughter.

wrecked grab this dust pan and

Mrs. Doolttle, as sharply as though
she were speaking to neighbor.
1t came as a shock to the poetess.
Did she answer her mother? She did
not. What do you take her fora
rowdy? She arose and glided gently
into the house. Up the stairs she
went sadly and into her boudoir. Soon
she had her pen in hand.
Miss DooIittle had decided to teach
the old woman lesson in rhyme.
Scratch. scratch, scratch" went
the pen. Miss Doolittle was writing.
In less than half an hour she was
on her way to a meeting of the
Women's Betterment league, where
she knew her mother would be. In
her hand she carried a poem, rolled
tight and tied with baby blue rib
bon. Promptress Pertie was rapping
for order when the fair girl entered.
