Hostess Houses Help Keep
Men IN Touch With Home

More than once relatives expecting
to surprise their soldiers arrive to
find that they have either gone home
on furlough and that they have pass
ed them on the way or that they have
been transferred
The cafeterias In the hostess houses
are open not only to the women
friends who come to visit the soldiers.
but to the soldiers themselves when
they are on !. leave. Family parties,
birthday parties, even wedding ami
versaries are. not infrequent happen
ings. Many Of the people who come
bring home cooked things, things Of
which the men are especially fond,
and supplement these with coffee and
ice cream. A corner is sometimes re-
served for such party. or table or
two, and with father, mother. children
perhaps and the soldiers, it looks like
home.
Hostess houses everywhere, wheth-
err on the Atlantic, Pacific or Gulf
shores. or in the interior have but one
purpose-to provide home-life place
where soldiers and their women Wis.
itors may meet Since this is their
aim, everything that will interfere
with conversation Is barred-formal
meetings, dancing and program enter
tainments.
Thirty-four hostess houses are
open: four are closed because the
men are gone; twenty-four are under
construction and seven more have
been requested. Two houses for
friends Of colored troops are open
and eight are among those that are
being built.
A commanding general has said
that the hostess house does more than
any one thing in camp to keep the
men contented.
