There will be many strictly modern rooms but there will be rooms als.0 in which all the war years' pent-up longing will burst forth in the most romantic versions ver-sions of the traditional Home, sweet Home with variations according ac-cording to taste. Period themes and quaintness will be stepped up to have a dramatic dra-matic quality. Modern ideas will creep in and add to this effect. Simple furniture will be built in and fabrics will be cut and sewn especially to fit the spaces they are to fill. The bed curtains for the slanting wall in the sketch are an example and the triangular shaped window curtains to give extra fullness. Frills will be even fuller than those of our dreams, and many a homemaker who never nev-er before used her sewing ma- chine attachments will be learning the mysteries of the ruffler and hemmer.

Name Address This is no dreamed-up headline no "tone poem" conceived on an inspired typewriter. If s the way the army explains the command "Fix bayonets charge!" Only the Infantry has it put to them in these words. As one doughboy said: "I'll remember those eleven words the rest of my life." Remember? How can he forget them? They describe the climax of the Infantryman's assault they describe the most cold-blooded action on a battlefield. battle-field. Yet Infantry officers and men have advanced, countless times, to kill or ! be killed ... at Saratoga ... at New Orleans the Argonne . . . New Guinea . . . Salerno. There's no rescinding of this order no retreating no nothing but plain killing. Right now, the men of the Infantry are closing in for the final kill. They're advancing every day advancing to the order of "kill or be killed." Remember this the next time you see a doughboy on furlough. Remember this the next time you almost forget to write that letter. Remember it till your dying day. You can't pay the doughboy back but at least you can be forever mindful of his role in this fight for freedom. j i "Keep your eye on the Infantry THE dOUGHBOY DOES IT!" i |
