THREE STRANGERS

Burbank officials were excited for a
time Saturday afternoon when three
strangers entered the place. Sus-

The men proved to be new oil men
in that field, according to telephone

Her First

True to the statistics on war babies,
there is a greater percentage of
boys than of girls.
Most of the soldiers who have
married foreign-born girls are from
small towns and farms in the Middle
West, the Far West and South. The
names of the foreign born wives
now married to American men are
just as foreign as their maiden
names were. Nearly all Of tAe hus-
bands are naturalized American
citizens or the sons of immigrants.
The girls have been used TO work
all their lives, and in considering
their future homes they do not
shrink in the least from the idea of
work either on the farms, to which
SO many of them are going, or in
their households. The eagerness
with which many of these little war
wives speak Of "the farm" to which
they are going has a tone almost
of reverence.
These girls, among other occupa-
tions, have been farm workers.

children are usually playing in the
big reception room of the Hostess
House. The sight Of these children
three, four and five years old
evokes a question in every visitors
mind:
where did they come from?
Whose are they? Our doughboys

Certainly not, but a number Of our
soldiers have married the widows Of
French and British soldiers and, in
cidentally, adopted the families Of
these men. From the stories Of how
we'll the doughboys got on with the

it or not. Some Of them cry, and
others take on the sullen indiffer-
ence which turns to temper when
disturbed. Nevertheless they all
want to cry, and this stubbornness
is not vicious. 1t is merely the
helplessness and dumb anger of
the peasant class when situation
presents itself that is new and I'M
comfortable.
For to the peasant class most of
the girls belong. Those from the
Continent come from villages and
farms. A majority of them have
never seen city before they come
across town from the North River
ferries. The Hostess House seems
big, yes, and grand, but not at all
homelike at first.
So, to help kill the first homesick-
ness, these girls who have changed
their nationalities so shortly write
letters. There isn't much of any,

they cannot do the work. The pay
ment of the unearned money is to
be shared, equally, by the employer
and the state. 1t is very beauti-
full plan in theory, but the working
out of it is full of dangers.
Into High Street, Shoreditch, the
other day drove a taxicab with four
men in it. They left the taxica b
waiting at the curb and sauntered
up to the head of the queue that
was waiting for attention. They
gave a shilling apiece to the four
men at the head of the line and
took their places. They went in
side and signed as being out Of
work. Every one Of the four was
definite about his want of employ
ment and his need of an unemploy-
ment income until the government got
him a job. When they got through
they returned to their cab, and were
whirled off to Epson, a pretty dis
lance and pretty fare!

Prices are high, but these classes
have always found prices high and
their wages inadequate to meet
them. Their pensions are less in
adequate than their wages used to
be, and they have better housing
than formerly and more amuse-
ments than ever before.
The people idle while the govern
ment does the worrying! "They tell
us we sived the country" said a job
less cockney corporal in London not
long ago. "Well, bli'me! we want
a chunk of the bloomin' country we
sived!" And chunk to him does
not mean toiling for it and building
up the capital to buy it. GIVE it
to us!" That is the cry.
Sometimes these idle workers are
droll in their methods. High Street,
Shoreditch, Surrey, has a labor bu-
reau, one of many in England now
that is making superhuman efforts
to place men in lucrative jobs. The
promoters of these government and
semi-government agencies have even
gone so far as to propose to give
the wounded, inefficient men the

are gathered as soon as the ship is
docked) one is reminded of the old
Ellis Island cages and ferries. Most
of these war wives belong to the
same class as the immigrants of the
days before the war. The only va
ration is that the new immigrant
picture shows nothing but women,
with few children, and practically
all Of them very young.
From the transport the wives are
taken in Red Cross ambulances to
the Y. w. c. A. Hostess House at
Forty-first Street and Lexington
Avenue. This is a capacious place
where large number of them
can be housed. They may stay at
the Hostess House until their hus-
bands are discharged. This is sup
posed to take place at once, the
War Department having issued an
order several months ago that SOL
diers accompanied by their wives
should be discharged at the port of
debarkation. Sometimes there is a
hitch about this, however, and sew

tractlve to the American girl, who
is naturally prejudiced before she
sees her foreign competitor. From
conversations with the war brides
themselves it is apparent that the
American girls in turn seem rather
queer to them.
Most OF the foreign wives are
very young. A number of them
were only fifteen years old. They

Some Of the husbands have
sort Of hang-dog look when they

most of them when they first arrive
have the defiant air of being pleased
with themselves for having done
something rather unusual. When
they leave the Hostess House with
their discharge papers in their
pockets and their wives on their
arms they seem to begin to realize
that there is more to the situation
than a mere adventure.
Miss Helen Farquhar is in charge
of the work among foreign-born
wives when they go through New
York. She says that the Y. ".
c. A. has followed up many of the
girls to the extent of keeping track
Of them in their new life. They
usually write back to the Hostess

Idleness spelled in capital letters
rules the hour.
The returning soldier is war
weary and tired of straining to the
very limit of his strength. He
wants to rest and to enjoy HIM
self; his womenfolks want to enjoy
him. We have the same condition
here in America; fond mothers cod
die the returning warrior and put
off the day when he shall go to work
again. Our boys, however, are not
so weary, and the future draws
them with strong appeals.
But in the British Isles, and, to
a less degree, in France, men and
women wander through the streets
when they should be at some kind
Of work, or loll with their compan-
ions in the parks or in public houses,
content with the day and thought
less Of the morrow.
Money? The government is pay

in England, Scotland and Wales, at
least. The munition plants and the
shipyards are closed; the women's
auxiliary army corps is being de-
modified. But peace-time factories,
if they are ready to work full time
and want labor, cannot get it;
houses and hotels and shops call in
vain to women to come to them. The

1t has been remarked that these
little half-American babies are the
best cared for children in the
world. 1t is true they get plenty
Of attention, such as it is. In fact,
they get too much attention. They
get too much instructed care.
