Duties of ‘Colonel's’ Lady
Times Special .
CAMP ATTERBURY, Ind. Sept. 17—This letter, published in part, explains itself. It was written by Lieut. Col. John C. L. Adams, com-
|1mander of the 330th: infantry here, when he was a major in charge of}
the 39th regiment. It is to Mrs. Adams: 2 “Dear Madam and Esteemed Wife: ; “As. I take over my duties as regimental commander, I am issuing orders concerning my future policies. Therefore, I feel that I should by all means inform you, who has so ably acted as ‘my ‘chief of staff in the service of supply, of just what will be expected of you. “This is to inform you that you are no longer the young and dashing wife of, a major, but are now an old man’s darling. Hereafter when handsome young lieutenants dance with you, it will not be because you are goodlooking, cutting a sprightly figure in the dance, but because you are now the colonel’s lady, and that they: have hopes that you will ‘show them the way to promotion and pay’ by putting in a good word for them with the Old Man. “But being , the colonel’s lady entails certain obligations for you, some of which are quite simple, such as smiling pleasantly while your husband, with fatherly interest, kisses each bride of the ‘regiment. “Qther obligations. are .of a more serious nature.
“First, by your ‘example to the others of our lovely regimental

camp-followers, you should demonstrate that military matters are
the prerogative of the male members and that any pants wearing by the feminine cohorts is purely for decorative or utilitarian purpose, that does NOT include that of command. It should also be remembered that the prerogative of bossing their own particular male member of the Faleon clan should be exercised judiciously as it is permitted by him, just as a special dispensation to the object of his. affections. Your conduct should be an adequate demonstration that the wives do not hold commissions of the same date as that of their husbands, and that gossip sessions should not include tidbits of military information, nor washing of the dirty linen of the ‘army. “But your hardest task will . probably be when the time comes for you to send us away to battle, or while we are gone. It shall be your duty, along with them, to send us away with a smile, so that each of us will always remember each of you there individually, with heads thrown back proudly, chin courageously high, waiting for us to return. While we are gone your lives must not contain any useless brooding, nor morbid fears, but should pursue a normal course that will cause us to find you just as desirable and lovely and interesting as ever to us when we return. You must be prepared, should any of us by chance not return, to go forward in that life for you and our children which we will have gone to fight for in your behalf. Then when you have completed such a life, which we will ‘expect of you, we:will be proudly waiting to greet you. So that none of you shall falter in this high purpose, ‘it shall be your duty.to
