have the papas taking long train
trips and waiting around New York
impatiently for their wives to ar
rive. Perhaps the efficient way
would be for Papa to sit at home
in Iowa or Indiana and wait for
his wife to make the train trip out
to her new home alone.
IT'S A BIG MOMENT
But Papa looks mighty good to
Mama standing right on the dock
in New York. After all, it is a big
moment in her marriage. 1t would
be an awful let-down to face the
moment alone-and lonely.
If Papa is there it means he is as
excited as she is over this great
adventure. 1t means that though
he had to leave her overseas when
ne was shipped home, now that
ne is his own man again he doesn't
intend to let anything to keep them
apart. It means he is eager to as
sumo his responsibility for his
family.
The Army and Navy may know
about efficiency. But husbands who
are ignoring that STAY AT HOME
