New York - What's going to

lass lamps" Mankato, Mimi, for
the first time?
That's what some of the war
welfare workers who have been
meeting and consoling some war
brides arriving here with or with
out their husbands from overseas
want to know. In some cases they
frankly admit there is going to be
a establishment and the little
Parisienne who married Yankee
after short romance centering
around a cafe is going to save
enough francs to get back to
mother. But in others the girls who
came from the big cities in for
eign lands are going to settle down
and make themselves right at home.
The great majority of the soldiers
who married French or English girls
abroad come from small towns or
farms in the west and middle west.
Some of the brides have confessed
frankly that they were married Gust
for the trip" They wanted to see
America and 'hoped the marriage
would turn out all right" Others
said they were swept away by the
tempestuous wooing"of the Yankees.
Practically all the war brides are
short on American geography. They
know about as much about the rela-
tive location of New York and Kan
sas City as Kansas City girl knows
about the relative location of Paris
and Belfort. And coupled with that,
they have just come from Europe,
where it's only a hop. comparative
ly speaking, from one big town to
another.
A French girl who married Dali
las, Tex, soldier and arrived in ad-
vance of her husband, wanted to
know where she could get taxi for
Dallas. A young English girl from
the same boat landed with 81, which
She thought would pay her trolley
fare to her husbands parents in San
Francisco. A rosy faced Scotch girl
wanted to know where she could get
ferry to Cuba. -
! The war brides are already up
against mother-in-law. One Ore
gon mother-in-law telegraphed her
returning son that under no consid-
grafton would she receive his new
French bride. But like the majority
of mothers-in-law, she gave in.
