Now, children, once upon a time there
was a young American named Willy Jinks
who enlisted in the army. The poor boob
told every one that he didn't want to go
to war at all, but that he knew what the
nelghbors would say, and that, anyway, he
might we'll enlist, as he was sure to be
drafted if he didn't. When he got to
France he never told Of the enormous salary
he received in civilian life and he said he
didn't suppose he'd make as good SER
geant as some of the other men, but that
he would enjoy wearing the chevrons
around. He never even laid awake nights
planning what he would do if he ever
caught his commanding officer up an alley
in civilian clothes after the war. To his
great aston ishment he was assigned to an
Office job in st. Nazaire and never left
it. He wrote his girl that he was nowhere
near the trenches and hoped he never would
be- When the armistice was signed he
heaved a great sigh and wrote home he
was glad he had been spared all the dangers
and dIscomforts of life at the front. He
denied with some heat that he had ever
turned down commission. In fact he
said that he had repeatedly applied for a
commission, but that nobody had seemed
to give him any encouragement. He passed
up an opportunity to buy Boche officers

What

Spring Styles Suggested
for Swagger Soldiers

spring styles? But already the
the Sibley stove and whisper of what will
be worn in the A. E. f. by the .trig aviators
and the trigger doughboys next season.
l predict many startling and radical
changes, but the more conservative members
of the A. E. F., those who expect to extend
their European visit, the type of men who
sleep on and not in their breeches, will
cling to the old popular olive drab, or mud
trindle, for inspection and drills, varying
this with blues and browns cut in loose
flowing lines, for fatigue and lounging
wear.
If the little bird. hopping about the
orderly room where the Wise Ones congre-
gate, tells me truthfully, there will be
one radical change in headgear. In the
best circles the tin hat, once SO popular
among the rollicking young bucks, has
been discarded. The less conservative elc-
ment will substitute the plain black derby
crusher in the States. The latter, how
ever, will not be worn here with any
success.
Another innovation will be small iron
bracelet worn just above the right ankle.
