Dropping the Heroic Attitude
All along the line there is be-
ginning to be a general let-down in
the heroic attitude taken by women
during the war. The Near East"
may demand their charity and sac
rifice as much as Belgium, but it is
difficult to get them keyed to the
necessary pitch of enthusiasm over
further horrors; they have been
fed up on atrocities and the pen
dulum is beginning to swing back
again.
They saved, rationed their FAM
lilies, sewed for the Red Cross and
practised amazing economies. Now
they went to cat, dress and be
merry 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. Shopping
Tor amusement, shopping when they
never intended to buy, matching
scraps of bright colored ribbons to
while away a morning. Judging
their friends by the initials on
their dollies and the size of their
motors, and the names-that always

card baskets - no l don't believe
