Phil Simms. who used . to work along side of me in a newspaper snop and who is ;- now at the war corre spondents': headquarters of the British Expeditionary Force, France, has writ ten me a pathetic .letter. He seems anxious that 1 publish this dilemma. So here goes; "Do you think you could open a national subscription for me in yourcolumn for the purpose of buying me a dozen suits of BVD shorts? Mine are a bloomin. bleedin" shame. I go ; round . melancholy and worried fearine they'll scrape .me up off the battlefield in them. They do not Import them any more." Considering, the way Mr.' Simms has ttast I feel that I have donve enmicb f0r him.r And anywaywar is war. She works in a newspaper syndicate office where she writes descriptions of .dresses for fashion articles they call them "captions." :- She speaks lightly of things feminine and ,as a result she hasn't had time to take care of her own femininity. It .is gone. -i , Her, -9uslg j omesline, strung withw5mensapparer and every day is . wash day. Her eyes need the en couragement of double Jensed glasses and, her fingers are cramped from pointing out beauty for another wom an's wardrobe. She is no longer straight and strong. She is a type. To hex imagination is a curse. A pink dress, garlanded with roses, means a moon-haunted' porch, swingings rocker and a man in flannels puffing a cigarette . Nobody who. reads her captions knows she is an old maid who wears paper, cuffs to keep her sleeves from wearing out and who eats her. lunch alone. It is just one of the little trag ledies that no one notices and if they did notice would not care. - "One little girl drives a dozen men iwild. One little girl makes an old man a child. One little kiss and you jump to the sky. One look like this ' and you're ready to die. One little girl makes your bank-book a sight, And I though your rent's overdue, Still you ' . j : .1 s-vu t a J uuy uiauiuuu rings, uu, wuat wuuuex ful things one little girlie can do" thus runs a popular Broadway ditty.
