♦ LEFT BEHIND. f
What a world of desolation
Now they’ve taken you from me!
Taken you—“to save the nation”
Over there in bleeding France.
Will they bring you back, by chance,
0. my dear, across the sea?
What an empty house to care for
With no lad to come to me!
None to put the dinner there for—
Empty chair and empty bed
And that dread of you as —dead,
O, my dear, across the sea!
i
You so tender —in the trenches!
How you used to pamper me!—
Sun that scorches, storm that
renches —
Stubborn, though the guns are loud.
You will do your little bit
I) that hell; lam sure of It;
And your head will be unbowed;
And I know you’ll dream of me;
And we’ll win—and, oh, I’m proud
Os my dear across the sea!
—Ruth Wright Kauffman, of the Vi
gilantes.

iHOSTESS HOMES.
Working girls who have no homes
iin which to receive calls from their i
'soldier friends will be provided for by
| a committee of Atlanta women now
i arranging “hostess homes” in prep?-|
ration for Camp Gordon, the great can
tonment where 40,000 to 50.000 re
cruits of the national army will be
trained in the next six months.
A number of these homes will be
established both at the training camp
and in the city, for the benefit of
girls who w;ork for a living, and do
not reside with their families, where
their mothers or others occupying the
maternal relation could chaperone
their callers.
Tne government will encourage t«a
soldier boys to spend a portion of
their leisure time with the girls, pro
vided they are the right sort of girls,
and the “hostess homes” will pro
i
vide just the right sort of accommo
i dations for those who do not live in
i their own homes.
| Besides the "Hostess Homes,” a
j committee on training camp activi
ties composed of a number of promi
nent Atlanta business men are plan
ning all sorts of recreation for the
soldiers. They expect to turn every
church in the city into a social cen
ter on Sunday afternoons. They ex
pect the military bands from Camp
Gordon to take turns about giving
free concerts every Sunday afternoon
ja* the Atlanta auditorium. They ex-
- pect the motion picture shows, city
parks and other places of wholesomi
amusement to make special provi
sion forth a entertainment of the
soldiers.
Ir ill of these and various other
activities the Young Men’s Christian
’Association and the Young Women’s
Christian Association are actively co
crat’ag.
