American Y. W. C. A. has a hostess
house In Brittany where the Signal
Corps women live and a but where
the nurses spend their free time. Both
these centers are fitted with many of

"At a tea given at the nurses' hut
one Saturday afternoon," writes Miss
Mabel Warner, of Satlna, Kansas, Y.
W. C. A. worker there, "thera was an
odd gathering—one admiral, a bishop,
a I'resbyterlan minister, a Roman
Catholic priest, a doctor, an ensign,
one civilian and myself."
Firat Victory Boy's Work J
"Say, I'm wlar to yon, all right," a
Western Union messenger boy whis
pered to one of the directors of tho
United War Work Campaign In tfc*
Now York headquarters. The direc
tor's desk had only just been moved
In and tho work of the big drive had
hardly begun.
"I'm onto your stunt," tha boy went
on as ho swung a grimy flst over the
desk; "you're goln' to give us fellows
that ain't old enough to go to war a
chance to earn an' give to back up a
fighter an' help wilt the war. Listen;
I'm In on this."
The crumpled fO bill he dropped on
the desk made him the first of "a mil
lion boys behind a million fighters"
who are to be lined up as Victory Boys
during the week of the drive.
There will be a division of Victory
Girls, too, and every bot and every
girl enrolled will have to earn every
dollar he or slut gives to tha war weifc
fund. i hfs.ii wi ■
