WHY YANkS

WAR BRIDES

H0 L6uSeT is III TeCSipl Ol d Iudrk-
ed copy of the Watch on The Rhine -
a newspaper published weekly in Ger
many by the men in the Third Di-
vision of the American army
If the story marked fits any local
soldiers love affair or not, we can
not say, but it will probably offer
some of our girls something to think
about. Here it is:
In a recent issue of our division
newspaper. l noted a letter from
Miss Alva Alexander, of Venice,
Calf, which has aroused in me more
than passing interest. l wish to set
forth what 1 believe to be few of
the ideas of the men of this division
concerning the womanhood of this
lani.
have no French or German sweet
heart and no intention of marrying
any other than good, pure and re-
fined American girl.
This young lady asks if it can be
possible that any American soldier is
contemplating marriage with Ger
man girl. I say, from observation,
and other sources, that there will be
a number such marriages. There are
some reasons why the American
soldiers look with favor on French
and German girls.
The majority of these girls pay no
attention to class distinction. Con-
sequently, every buck has his chance
with them. French and German girls
are not ashamed to do the daily tasks
of life, no matter how dull, dirty or
uninteresting they may be.
In the last few years the young
American has found himself Stunned
often if he is not society sport,
walking money bag, or dancing fool,
and is it wonder if he is eager for
the companionship of women who do
not make artificial distinctions?
Hospitality seems a lost art with
many American girls, who spend no
time with their friends at their homes,
but pass their time at theatres, ca
barets, and other amusement places.
The uncomplaining and hard work
ing women of this country, be they
enemy or friend have merited our ad-
miration, for they are not ashamed of
hard and dirty work, if such work is
essential to the well being of hu-
manity. -
In strong contrast to this, we re-
member the tendencies of the girls at
home to lead more or less the life of
social butterfly, thinking and plan
ming only for a giddy round of social
activities. We understand, however,
that the war has wrought change in
these butterflies, which we sincerely
hope is true Yet we read in the
home newspapers of great wave of
shallow frivolity sweeping the States.
Coming face to face with the stern
realities of life, as most of us have on
the battlefields, we have learned the
really worthy things of life. We have
gained a high regard for a fine,
strong loving character, and abhor-
renee for any sort of sham, pretension
and superficiality 1t is great re-
lief, then, that we find it so easy to
read the character of the women here.
Most of these women seem to look
on men as actual and real. No at
tempt is made to hide anything be-
hind a mushy sentientality. Con-
trast this with many of the American

SUIT OR A DRESS?

Youthful Looking Modela

Whether to buy q tailored suit. or q
dress and separate coat. that is the
problem which confronts the woman
who goes forth at this time to spend
her dress allowance, and this spring
the question is a puzzllng one. Some
years are what the garment makers
call "suIt years." when the problem Is
settled, before we even begin to shop.
by the manufacturers; other years the
shops show nothing, comparatively
speaking. but one-piece dresses and
coats But this year both suits and
dresses are shown In amazing variety,
and wise indeed is the woman who has
decision as to what she needs, before
she goes to the stores.
The new suits are distinctive In sew
eral ways. Coats are Just finger-tip
length, as q rule. and many Of them
have the loose outside pocket effect,
achieved by turning up the bottom Of
the coat at the sides and In front. The
skirts are narrow, as rumor predicted
that they would be. The more ex-
treme models have made allowance for
the wearer's need, either by Sitting
the skirt at the back seam for a few
inches up the hem. or, as In one case.
by making the skirt with the front and
back widths absolutely separate as far
up as the hips; these two sections
were then caught together at intervals
down the sides by short threads, heav-
lily buttonhOled. which held the two
sections together except when the
wearer was walking. When such skirts
as these are worn. there Is worn also
a heavy satin slip, matching the skirt
in color.
The tight-fitting. severely tailored
suit is not so much shown as are the
lOoser-coated, more youthful-looking
models. Narrow belts are on nearly
all Of these jackets, fastening at the
side; the skirts Of the coats are rather
full, and are quite apt to be incon-
spicuously trimmed. Embroidered silk
arrow heads make one such coat inter-
esting; another Is bound with narrow,
