 But where they have a real chance to gain knowledge and ma turity that will really help them and the young men they will marry is in taking training that will make them better wives, better home makers and eventually better homes makers and eventually better mothers.
 For their marriages and their homes and their children are go- ing to be deeply important to the young men who come back after lonely years in strange places And the girl who is capable and understanding in the role of a wife and mother will be mature enough for any young man.:
 It is more important for her to be able to create happy home for her young man, than to be able to share with him the knowledge of what it is like to live in a foxhole.

claimed one of the outstanding war
mothers of Delphos, if not of the dis
