WITH THE WOMEN OF TODAY

The boys are not the only ones who are coming home these days with gold chevrons on their sleeves and tales of the great war on the tips of their tongues. There are women and girls returning also and many of them have seen much more service than some of their brothers. , . . ,

Miss Dee Van Balkom Is one of these . She has been in war service

clnce the outbreak of the war. Her

career Is a most Interesting one and

on account of her unusual accomplishment -is by no means typical.

Miss Van Balkom is a linguist, globe

trotter, pianist, and wireless operator inthe Signal Corps of the army. At

the very outbreak of the war she

Joined an ambulance service of the

Canadian army as driver and went to the front. In her spare time she studied wireless. In the fall of 1916, she came to New York to take a rest and then returned to France a year later to take charge of the foreign service telephone girls. While abroad she served at Chauroont and Colombey-les-Belles, where American Association headquarters were. She is now back in this country for - another rest, but instead of staying quietly at home she has returned to Camp Upton and is acting as an entertainer for the returned soldiers. She is being greeted every time she appears at the base hospital or in the welfare buildings of officers and men whom she met in France. At these entertainments she confines herself to popular songs and modern ballads and telling stories based on her year's service abroad. She wears two gold service stripes on her left sleeve. Miss Van Balkom was born in Su

matra, where her father was a tobacco I

planter. She has travellel all over tho world, living at various times In Londan, Amsterdam, Australia and Toronto. WOMEN FARMERS A SUCCESS. The federal food board says that so

successful was the work of women on I the farms in New York state during j the past season that many farmers have already put in applications for women workers for the 1919 season.'

At the beginning of last summer the eight women farm labor specialists of the New York state food commission faced the problem of hundreds of women applying for work on arms,

with but few farmers wanting them.

But In the middle of July the demand for women farm laborers was far ahead of the supply and never caught up until the season ended. Through the" activities of the women farm labor specialists, 3,123 women were placed on farms. The greater majority of these were placed In New York state. The women were especially recruited from among college girls, teachers, business women seeking change of employment or on " vacation, and from the leisure classes. The number of industrial workers sent out was comparatively small. Farm labor proved to be particularly attractive for school teachers, several hundred of them being recruited. Some of the units were composed entirely of college or high school girls. One of the units was made 'up entirely of girls belonging to the same fraternity.

work every day It seems to me that you ought to be able to do housework, especially If you had help for the heavier work or some of the new devices for making work easier. The saying is true that no house is big enough for two families. The money you have earned ought to be enough to pay for any help you might need. The strain of living under the conditions you do does not tend to improve your health. - Dear Mrs. Thompson: Last summer I fell in love with one of my classmates. I went several places with him until he went to the mountains. After he left he wrote to me several times. I finally got tired of writing to him. Then when he came badx I wanted to be friends again, but of course he was angry because I didn't answer his letter. Can you tell me what to do to get him to like me? X. Y. Z. The best you can do fs to speak to the boy in a friendly way when you meet. If he insists upon being angry, you will have to let him be. Dear Mrs. Thompson: I have been corresponding with a boy for some time. A while ago I let one of my girl friends read one of his letters and be got angry. Can you tell me what to do? This girl used to go with the same boy a long time ago and she was jealous of me. So she read his letter and then told him that I let anyone who wanted to read them. Please Inform me what to do to get him to like me again. BLUB EYES. Of course you have apologized to tho boy. He may never care to be friendly again. But this experience was worth while, because it has taught you a lesson. Never again let people read your personal letters. Dear Mrs. Thompson: (1) How long should a girl wear an engagement ring before she Is married? (2) If a girl is engaged is it all right for her to hold on to the ana of the boy to whom she is engaged? (3) Do you think a girl loves a boy if she is not a little jealous of him DOT. (1) A girl can wear an engagement ring from the time she is engaged until she is married or the engagement is broken. (2) She has the right, but it looks better nowadays for the man to take the girl's arm. (3) Yes a girl can love without being jealous. Her faith is too great to permit jealousy. Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a young man 24 years old and I have been going with a young girl for six months. Last Sunday evening I met her girl friend with whom I .fell in love. In fact I never saw a girl who suited me as she does. Last Monday I met her on my way home from work and I asked her if I could come to see her the next Sunday and she acted as if she was surprised and said she couldn't accept the date as that would be unfair to her friend. How can I drop my former friend without hurting her feelings? How can I win the love of the other? A WORRIED YOUNG MAN. If you are sure you don't love the first young girl you should drop her. You probably do still love her but you are Infatuated with the girl's friend, for. the time being and . your love will return for the first girl. You should stay with the first girl by all means.
