Girls T hey
Left Behind
Them
Love and Matrimony Must
Be Reconstructed AS
Well AS Business
and Commerce.
BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX.

Several letters have come to me
from women who have their soldier
sweethearts and husbands safely
back from cover there" but who are
sorely puzzled by the change that
has come over them.
In every case, the men in ques-
ton have been in the front line
trenches, and have gone through the
shot and she'll of those last terrible.
fighting days. They felt, rather
than heard, the numbing silence
more awful than the din-that began
at II o'clock, that fateful November
morning when the order to cease
firing" was given.
at was the silence that got me
l could stand everything but that"
one woman quoted her husband as
saying, and she goes on TO say that
after the first enthusiasm of home
coming was over, he seemed to care
| for nothing but to sit quietly and
think. The old amusements about
which he had been so keen, before
he went to France, now fell flat, and
even the especial interest of a gar
den. that formerly occupied every
spare moment, fails to exercise any
charm.
There seems to be nothing else
to suggest to these women but to
wait and let time, the a!l-healing
uneuent work its habitual miracle.
Some men are prr-eminetly fitted
to be soldiers, men of rugged fibre,
iron nerve, slow sensibilties, such
are capable of shedding the harrow
ing spectre of war by reason Of their
temperament.
Others, more sensitive, are OBJ
sessed by their experiences, and find
it impossible to eradicate war i'm
pressions Immediately. They live
over and over these scenes, until
something more compelling comes
along to replace them, or until time
gets in its handiwork.
Quiet the Best Restorer.
This period of adjustment is the
time for conscientious wife to be
what Sir Walter Scott calls "a min
istering angel" Don't expect one
who has just escaped death-and has
seen his friends drop around him
by the score-to call for his dancing
pumps and betake himself to the
nearest cabaret as soon as he has
hung up his trench helmet
| However, it is all a question Of
nerves and their sensitiveness to re-
ceiving and retaining impressions.
The cabaret may be exactly the med
icine that will work wonders in re-
storing a certain type, it may give
the necessary stimulus craved, or
again, it may be an added horror.
So if you are wife, or a sweet
heart, and are puzzled by having a
soldier man given TO long, deep re-
aection, don't despair. 1t may be
only natures way of restoring the
balance. 1t is hardly fair to expect
sensitive man who has been
through the hell of the trenches to
come back to you as if he had re;
turned from a jolly weekend, and
is feeling particularly fit after the
experience. ~
In the first enthusiasm of getting
back it may seem that way, but the
energy for frivolity is more than
apt to flag, and pipe and slippers
to win the day.
A correspondent who signs her
lnsms Louise" Is feeling particula1.

Young Scenario Writer.

Dear Miss Fairfax. Omaha Bee:
l am a constant reader of your "Ad-
vice to the Lovelorn" and am coming
to you for a little advice, although
1t does not pertain to love. am a
girl 13 years of age and am writer
Of scenarios. I have one which is a
comedy and has been pronounced
perfect by critics. Now. my trouble
is this, have submitted my scenario
to several companies and 1T has been
rejected. VIII you please give me
the addresses of several firms whose
market Is now open for two-reeled
comedies? Thanking you in advance,
I remain, MOVIE WRITER.
1t is somewhat surprising that q
13-year-old girl should write perfect
scenarios. II they have been pro-
nounced perfect by critics-would
you mind telling mo who tho critics
are? Trained writer's do these seem
arios, and I doubt If you can find a
market for them.

>ly discouraged at this state of af-
fairs. She was married just before
her husband sailed for France, and
she has taken a great pride in her
loyalty, sternly declining to attend
any of the meetings of the dancing
club, of which they were both en-
thusiastic members before the war
began.
She had fully expected to find her
young husband quite as keen on
dancing after he got back as he was
before he sailed. And I think, in
spite of all her determination to be
a model wife, she is beginning to
feel just little sorry for herself.
Louise tells me that she is just
18, so it is not difficult to understand
why she expects her man to display
the customary ardor for dancing and
musical comedy that he had before
he went marching off. He has been
through an experience that is likely
to exercise SOLDERING experience for
years, if not for life.
No man can have been through
the hell and glory of Chateau-Thier-
~ and not have reached the climax
Of human emotion. He has taken
part in the greatest conflict that the
world has ever known. He has drunk
his coffee in the gray of early morn
ing with his comrades, and at night
he has come back without them.
He has made a crony Of death week
in and week out in the trenches, and
there have been times when death
would have been easier than living.
Whatever life has to offer in the
way of emotion, keyed to the ut
most limit, the men who fought dur
ing those last days experienced to
the full. And a man cannot drain the
cup to the dregs and in few weeks
accommodate himself to the pace
of a suburban husband, interested
in his former dancing club and the
lawn mower.
He can easily drop back into his
old place if he went over there and
got no further than one of the big
training camps, but it is not quite
reasonable to expect it if he went
lover the top" and has come back
to you either gassed or wounded.
Dropping the Heroic Attitude.
All along the line there is begin
ming to be a general let-down in the
heroic attitude taken by women
during the war. The near east" may
demand their charity and sacrifice
as much as Belgium, but it is diff
cult to get them keyed to the neces-
sary pitch of enthusiasm over fur
ther horrors; they have been fed
upon atrocities and the pendulum
is beginning to swing back again.
They saved, rationed their famil-
les, sewed for the Red Cross and
practiced amazing economies. Now
they want to eat, dress and be. mer-
ry and realize that all Of life is not
wailing and lamentation.
But it would take an incorrigible
pessimist to believe that they will
ever go back to the utter frivolity
of their pre-war existence. Shop
ping for amusement, shopping when
they never intended to buy, match
ing scraps of bright colored ribbons
to while away a morning. Judging
their friends by the initials on their
doilies and the size Of their motors,
and the names-that always rose
like cream to the tops Of their card
baskets-no, I don't believe they
will go back to these things; little
abiding light must have come to
them while they rolled bandages for
their men over there.

Too Stout.
Dear Miss Fairfax: May I, too,
come to you with my troubles? Why
in the world is 1t that 4 girl who
is fat isn't expected to 60 places
and have some fun as we'll as other
girls?
try not to be silly and too sensi-
tive, but for some reason I don't
seem to succeed in having any
pleasure at all.
1 would be ashamed to act like
some of the popular" girls here
do, but why do they seem to be so
happy when a girl who tries to act
decent can't get to first base? This
doesn't seem fair to me.
OF course l have some friends, but
they are mostly among older peo-
pie, but I don't want to be old yet,
there's time for that later.
Now, I'm not quite ugly enough to
stop an eight-day clock, still have
never won any prizes at a beauty
show. I suppose that I would get
along all right II 1t wasn't for this
awful fat, but the harder I work the
fatter / get. What in the world can
! do about it? Don't people realize
that fat people have feelings and
might be hurt by unkind remarks,

manufacturing furniture for the ref

Latch the gate and set the post and

To hold the gate and posts in posi-
