Then, since the ice was broken,
they opened up on me about the
second front. II was obvious they
had been waiting for a chance,
but considered it a more delicate
subject even than lynching. The
Russians do not think we and the
British have any obligation tc
fight their battles for them. but
they believe Germany could have
been defeated this summer with
our aid.
"When will there he a second
'front.'" was asked.
/ told them a second front would
be formed when there was a rea.
sonable chance of success; / die
not tell them, as so many people
have told me. that the Middle East
constitutes a second front. The
Russian definition of n SECOND
front means an invasion of Eu.
rope.
eff we invaded the continent
without adequate preparation
and were defeated, the conse-
quences to Russia would be
more terrible than anything else.
When We do invade, Ii must
succeed" / added.
"Is there any sentiment In
Britain and America to let Rus
sia and Germany fight until
they are both weakened and
then finish off Germany alone ?"
told them 90 per cent of the
British and American people are
impatient 10 attack the enemy
now. Such sentiment as they
mentioned, il it exists at all, j:
too negligible TO count.
So we parted friends. but tho
future is not bright for those chill
dren. Food grows scarcer every
day, and many of them will be colo
this winter. There is not enough
coal for the factories. and people
are working desperately TO cu'
wood and dig peat.
Houses will be cold. and such
aids as kerosene and electric
stoves will not help because there
lis no Kerosene, and the electricity
is turned off for several hours OF
the day.
Children have a nourishing meal
in their schools. and workers in
their factories. but there is small

CAN'T GET RATION ITEMS

I know a woman whose two
daughters work in a factory. She
has their three ration cards, but
many of the items on the card are
no longer available.
BY standing in long queues many
wearisome hours. she can obtain
enough tea. black bread, rice and
occasionally meat for one normall
person. Her daughters. of course |
eat breakfast and supper at homer
and they try to bring her things
from their canteen. but that Is
difficult because everybody else IS
trying TO do the same thing.

Is it diplomacy, CleVerneSS or po-
likeness that prompts a youngster
to answer this way? 1t certainly
sounds like all three together. Actu-
ally it is just that the child is max
ing excuses. You ask her to part
with a toy and she doesn't want to.
She doesn't say no" however, be-
cause she would rather feel that she
is riQht in not letting you have 1t.
An excuse justif1es her moral posi-
ton.
To some extent everyone ration

cute in a child only because OF the
circumstances If a mother were TO

when YOU asked 20 hold her baby
or if she were to answer that baby

The idea is TO set the child

that you want him to learn in time

subject or ignore his remarks. That

'Yank,' the Army
Paper, Is Off
The Press
BY TALBOT LAKE

THERE is no one personality you
Il can pick out in writing up the
"Yank, " the weekly paper the Army
is getting out for the soldiers. 1t is
carving on the tradition started in
World War I, when the Army put
out the STARS and Stripes" Re-
Gently, the enlisted men personnel
Of "Yank" were given a dinner by
the old-timers of that last war
paper and at it they received Rags
II. a monRrel mascot which carries
whipped cream Turn into two quar-
stars and Stripes" fame.
The executive share Of the paper
is taken care Of by commissioned
officers, but the actual paper and
the running Of it is done by enlisted
men. Most of them have had pre-
viOuS newspaper experience, many
have books, plays and magazine
articles to their credit. All have
been in the Army for some months
and have seen actual training in the
camps.
The press agent Of Yank "a cor
poral in the artillery. and a pa.
before the war; explained that the
circulation of the paper Is a mill
tary secret, but told us that 1t is
huge. There are 81 members on the
staff, who will 60 to all war fronts
and send back copy to the editorial
office in New York. The first two is
sues have already gone abroad at
this writing and will be distributed
free. After all 1t will cost 5 cents.
It's a neat roto Job, Of "a good
sized pages, full Of photos, cartoons
and articles. All the work Is con-
tributed by enlisted men. There are
sports. movies, army articles, News
From Home" letters from readers
and all sorts Of stuff that will APP
peal to army men.
The paper is, at present, not
available to the public, but in time
It may be made so. Our informant
said that its aim is:
ITO bring news that will interest
soldiers Of the u. S. all over the
world. To impart to them fighting
spirit and a will to victory. To give
them useful information and good
shot in the arm"
In an open letter printed in the
first issue Of "Yank," President
Roosevelt said:
In Yank you have established a
publication which cannot be under
stood by your enemies. 1t is incon-
ceivable to them that a soldier
should be allowed to express his
own thoughts, his ideas and opin-
ions. II is inconceivable to them
that any sOldicrS-Or any citizens
for that matter-ShOuld have any
thoughts other than those dictated
by their leaders

COlorful Effect

According to this reviewer:
Never were so many well turned
out women seen in uniforms. They
made a good showing, with the
many units of the Red Cross, indi-
vidually impressive not only for
their numbers but for the colorful
contribution they made to the pa
rade. Whether it is the light mill
tary blue of their jacket and-skirt
suit with sOft-Crown visor cap 10
match, or the bright yellow cotton
dresses worn by the staff assistants,
known as the yellow Ladies, or the
forget not, and bright blue cot
ton dresses worn by Canteen work
erS. the effect was arreSting.
Even the red Innings OF the navy
short CapcS over white dresses worn
by nurses. and the variouSly COlOred
wells drapcd from white caps, such
as navy. purple and red, produced
great ColorfulnesS in contrast with
the thousands of khaki, navy or
white uniforms worn by the march
ing men Of the Army and Navy.
From the angle Of perfectly de-
Iallp0 union Ills WI II Wy WOllltllt
individually and in a group, the
khaki-Clad Canadian women took
first honors. Here was demonstrat-
ed that for a superior mass effect,
all accessories must be uniform as
well as the suits themselves. hCtu-
ally the light-blue suits Of the Red
Cross are more attractive than the
olive-drab Canadian suit, and more
flattering too is the viSored Red
Cross cap than is the fatigue cap
worn by the Canadians. But good
sturdy brown shoes of one type
sturdy-heeled oXfords-worn by all
these, with gloves to match, def
nitely make for better effect than
nondeScript shoes, some Of them
with spike heclS-Sandals pumps,
oxfords, open-toe and other miscel-
laneous styles. And the stride and
swing Of the Canadian marchers
brought applause all along the ave-
nue."

Surplice Blouse
Is Worn With
Slim Skirt
BY ELEANOR GUM

NEW York; you are tired OF
" the shirtWaist dinner dress you
might try out a long, slim skirt
topped by a surpliCe blouse. Perish
the thought that it's a doWager
style - since there amt no more
dOwaCcrs, there amt no more dow
agcr STYLES. A SurplCc may take the
high road or the low road - the
higher the line crosses, the younger
the effect.
Obviously one can take II or leave
il. but I thought you ought TO know
that many dinner dresses, particu-
larlv the new black Satins, are
fashioned on the old reliable sur
plicc line linked to slim skirts that
either contrast or match.
One of our better shops makes
black satin scaSOnablc by intrOduC-
ing il as iCC-blaCk." Mainbocher
has a way with shirtwaiSt dresses
and dinner suits, one meets them
hither and yOn. especially those
made of embroidered white organ
die or some plain sheer banded with
matching or natural lace.
The pcg-tOp silhouette is doing
nicely, thank you, whether long or
short. Even at the rather SnOOtie
night spots there are once again
some short dresses. The general
rule is that the short ones Guido the
long ones in detail For instance
short skirts usually arc frilled or
ruchcd or bound at the hem, while
the long ones depend entirely on
line.
Also. long dresses frequently are
one color below and another above
the waist or hip line, while the
shorter variety are more often one
color throughout, the alternative
being the dress with incidental col
OrCd trimming.

wouldn't be too sure OF that, Mr..
HumoriSt. When q woman dons
uniform she is changed outwardly,
but there's no guarantee that she
is completely transformed.
There has been lot Of fun poked
at the woman soldier, and much
silly discussion about her lipstiCk
and what not. The herman soldier
is allowed his little vanities-after-
shaving lotions and powder, for in
Stance-and while one wouldn't ex-
pect the government to issue lip
stick, there is no good and sufficient
reason why a woman should not
supply her own-or is there? Would
il make her less courageous or less
dependable?
Girdles for Army
The Government Is apparently
convinced that a girdle is necessary
to the good form Of the Army, for
it issues two year to the WAACs.
Just how these girdleS are TO be
chosen or fitted is not disClOSed--a
girdle obviously has TO be related,

otherwise it's no help at all. But
that's another story, one that does

HOW TO Use MASCARA

Mascara will not harm the lashos
If IT is used intellgently. DO not put
on too much. in the first place Have
plenty of water and less color. It
isn't necessary TO make a thick
paste of mascara before putting 1t
on Allow the color to dry on the
lashes before blinking. Then re-
member TO wash il of thoroughly
before you go to bed at night Then
brush on little oil. Your laShes will
be pretticr than ever. It's when
heavy mascara is left on the laShCs
AZ night that the latter become
brittle and break of.
