IN OVERSEAS HOSPITAL.

Miss Marie Lopez of Brooklyn,
n. Y, is one of the first group of
women to go to France with the
women's oversee hospitals. Trained
as a nurse and an ambulance driv-
er, she started out with the motor
corps, expecting to be most urg-
entity needed in. that capacity. The
exigencies of the war, however,
placed her in a post-operative ward
of an evacuation hospital, and she
is now working night and day car
ing for wounded poilus.
During the first days I worked
with others in the ward where
wounded men were undressed and
washed as they came in from the
field" writes Miss Lopez Now /
am in the post-operative ward. To-
night Mary Brown and I are sit
ting up. Our hours are from s p.
n. until a. m.
Picture us in the great long
barracks with two tiny dim lights,
one at each end of the room. There
are two rows of beds, all OF which
are occupied except for the three
made vacant by deaths in the last
"a hours. They lie in crude little
iron beds. and they get along with
oh, so little. Each man has his
tin cup at his bedside and one OF
his favorite EXPLANATIONS is a
boire!' We have water. or cold
tea, or a weak lemonade sweetened
with something that is not sugar
to give them. Occasionally some
one asks for a match To light his
pipe. He is not able to sleep. An
other may call us to turn him "a
gauche' or "a driot.' The orderly
sleeps in the anne room. The 9TH
er night we needed him badly so we
went to his bed to waken him. Half
asleep we took off his gauze pro-
tector. which he puts over his love
ly, long mustache to keep II In
place.
These soldiers are like children.
Smile and they smile with you. Al
midnight when the stiffness Ais
broken by some absurd request one
laughs. and the laugh echoes the
full length OF the room. Then ST
lence reigns again"

Hinman. who as field representa-

department of soldier welfare, has
many interesting stories to tell of
soldiers and sailors. 1t is just an
example of the appreciation which

good times being provided for them
by the war camp community service

The Rabbit" looks ahead of these
times to a future when there will

friendship of women who talk to

with the frankness and intolerance
of youth and leaves one with a d.

She explained to him that the uni

his consent to serve the cause for
which women are fighting as well
as men; that as women were not
allowed to wear the uniform. they

one thing they had always stood
for; and that the best they had 10

The separate skirt is in its hey

kind of summer affair with flmy
blouses and sleeveless sports

not very particular about what kind

fashioned into separate skirts. Thin

materials used. They are usually

suitable only for heavier materials.
Silk and satin skirts are also in
the running. They are usually
draped or plated, rarely made per
fectIy straight Blue silk is ia
YoTed and black satin.
PIaids are also IN high favor.
They promise to be as popular as
stripes were a season or two ago.
This skirt is a smart model which
can be worn on many occasions
during the day and 70 many infor-
nal evening affairs. II is A plaid
silk with blue the predominating
color. The three large buttons at
the front Of the belt form the only
trimming and the graceful drape at
the sides gives a distinctive note
and lends itself we'll TO the plaid
pattern. Tailored and tub blOuses
make this a morning or street cos

and nets make it suitable for after
noon wear.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: I have been
going with girl IS years old for
about ten months and we have been
engaged for about three months.
The girl has asked me several
times if she could keep on writing
letters to boy friends. I have al
ways told her that 1 did not think
1t was right that she should. | do
net write 10 other girls or care any
thing for them. Do you think she
should keep on writing to other
boys? NOBBY.
She should not write to other
boys since you object. If they are
soldiers she probably feels that
her letters mean too much to them
for her to stop writing even il you
do object. Do not insist upon her
giving up correspondence with SOL
diers.
