"A LETTER TO THE
BOYS OWN MOTHERS

A motherly woman who has seen
much Y. NJ. G. A. service in Europe
and helped, many a homesick boy to
get a new grip o himself, has told
of her experiences in a way that
shows how well the mothering of our
troops is being done. To the mothers
OF these boys she recently wrote as
follows:
Many, many dozens Of times a lad
has entered the hut looking dreary
and sad, but after a cup Of tea in
my sitting room and an hours talk
all about the loved mes left behind.
he has cheefed up wonderfully and
gone away brighter and happier for
letting off a little steam on the sub
ject Of home n mother. And we

well worn ones Of the dear home
land and all the relatives left behind
there. I need not describe the hut.
but 1 wish you could sometimes see
your boys in it in the evenings when
the red curtains are drawn and the
red lamp shades all show up and the
tables are lined with contented-look-
ing lads drinking their hot tea and
consuming plates of fried eggs saus-

given for preservation during the
day"
One might enumerate instances by
tho hundreds to show not only the
necessity for women's work among
our soldiers in France, but also the
morale building effect of their pres
ence. A simple little incident OF a
busy day in camp shows what a camp
mother especially to the
younger boy. One OF these fellows
had cut his hand and had come to
the woman Y. M. c. A. worker to
have 1t bound up.
After neatly giving her frst-aid at

said to the boy:
There, laddies, that's all right.
Isn't that a. nice as your mother
would do it,"
But the lad sheepishly said, "But

She did. and the kiss had more
than healing for q cut finger; it heal
