Stew and Dumplings Are a Point-Save- r (See Recipes Below) When I got my captaincy and tailing orders, tha coma with my little girls, to wish me Godspeed By KATHLEEN NORRIS WHAT has happened to and fidelity women in this war? What has become e fineness and of the faithfulness that made it -nature for our war wives old-tim- second- to cherish the memory of the men who were away on battle-front- s, to preserve the sacredness of home and home ties in their absence? Gone with the wind, evidently. Recently an eminent military authority was responsible for the statement that among married men in the fighting forces today, one out of every three receives news from home that his wife is no longer faithful. That he Is no longer loved. That the home of which be dreams, in the smoke and blood and horror of the firing line, is no longer ready to welcome him back. That the children for whom his arms and his heart hunger are no longer to be his, to live under their fathers roof if indeed he ever has a home again. The cruelty and selfishness of the women who write such letters to lonely, homesick men is sufficiently dreadful. But even worse is the implication that our girls are being brought up without any respect for marriage, motherhood or themselves. When a woman goes through years of weakness and illness, as many women do, there is no comfort in the world to her like the deep happiness of knowing that her husband is faithful, is concerned, is eager with tender help and care. Soldiers Give Up Much. And when men leave their homes, leave safety and friends, beloved small children and wives, behind them; when they are regimented out of all individuality; when they may no longer have a will of their own or be free for a single hour without some other mans permission then what sort of a wife is it who begins at once to entertain herseii with friendships of other men, who presently writes her homesick soldier that she has met another love, that she wants to be free, that he must make some other living arrangements when he gets home? The army official above quoted says one soldier out of every three gets this sort of letter. Our enemies could hardly devise anything more destructive to the morale of our troops. To wait for mail from home and to eagerly receive it, only to be stunned by fresh misery and loneliness, a sense of inferiority and failure, is an experience that may well weaken the courage and determination of any man. AIDING TIIE ENEMY if the cruel hardships of werent enough, many in uniform have to enthe loss of their wifes love. Just the fact that their At tear men dure husbands are absent seems to be an excuse for many women to find pleasure in some other mans company. Often this illicit romancing leads to a desire for a divorce. Thousands of wives have written to their husbands in service, asking for a separation. Miss Morris calls these disloyal wives saboteurs? They are wrecking the morale of fighting men and far more effectively than enemy propaganda could do. They are not only wrecking their own and their husbands lives they are endangering their country. ing Forget it. Baby. Let things go on like they were before, until I get home.

It doesnt take much mental arithmetic to make us see that well be doing with less meat this year than before but then, youve probably already noticed that trend at your butchers. As a nation Lynn Chambers Menus. roint-Savin- g In 143 This is a genuine letter, one of many that come to me. Here is another, this one from a professor of English who has been overseas for more than a year. Wants Wealthy Man. Ann and I have been married 10 years," he writes. She wanted me to volunteer, and when I got my captaincy and sailing orders she came a thousand miles, with my little girls, to wish me Godspeed. That was 14 months ago. We have been very happy, have a lovely home, books, friends, work in common. Now she writes me that she wishes to go to Reno; she has promised to marry a much older man, quite wealthy, and prominent in our town. He is 52, Ann 34. She asks me not to make any 'fuss and hopes that I will someday find a woman more worthy of me. She says the girls will share their time between us. Is that the way wives write to their husbands in war time? the letter concludes bitterly. Is that the best they can do to brace their men through the cruelest ordeal that human flesh and blood ever faced? Were tired, discouraged, homesick, over here. We know how this war is going to end, and that well come home some of us victorious, but believe me, its a slow, hard pull, and to have nothing to which to look forward, nothing for which to work, nothing loving and comforting to which to come home, is pretty disheartening.
