NAVY MEN DISCUSS OUR AMERICAN GIRLS Continuation of Argument Started by Three Sailors. They Give an Answer Below nro printed expressions from men In the navy on two articles appear ing on the Woman's Page recently. They contained letters pro and con the faithfulness of American girls to their men at Bca. The second letter printed belovv Is from tho three sailors who originally took the stand on the fickle ness of American women: Dear Madam Aa a rule the headlines and war mapa of newspapera contain all the Information 1 dtslre, but tne article en titled "A Messsae to the Mallors." caught my eye. This message was from "The Olrl With a Memory." Mrst. let mo hasten to agree with '"fho Olrl With a Momory." Hon Is "dead rlgnt" and all rlgnt, too. The trouble Is there aren't enough of her togonround.and I don't know but maybe that In why the three sailors wroto aa they did. If there were plent of girls, or rather enough of auch Blrls. It would bo mighty line. And again, perhaps It's as broad as It's long, for supposing there woro oodles of them could wo find men worthv of them? 1NTE11E8TED. Dear Madam At tho request of tho crew of the U. S. 8. X I vvlah to. reply io tne chief quartermaster of the u. 8. a. X . These bojs havo seen from seven to fifteen months' service und are going to see more foreign service In a short time. . We wish to usk the chief quartermaster a few questions. Wero vou ever a real sailor? Havo jou ever battered tho waves of foreign seas? No. by your seuttmentB In this article of yourB. sou have not. Blnce you have not been home tn ono and a hair j ears how do you know that your girl la true to you? Dy letters? Do sou know that half tho letters that are written are not worth the paper tnei km written nnT We cite VOU a Coast DStrol sailor who haa never left American shores and has had many chances to got leave to go ana see vour saia gin. One young lady, whose young hero was one of tne earliest volunteers In the ij- on the condition of hie return from foreign service. Within two weeks of notice of his sufe arrival overseas, vvnlcn gave her a sufe opportunity to take advantage of his absenco she became Interested In a muni tion worker, vvno rorcsaw tne urait law ana procured war work which Would exempt him from foreign service. For flftcen months she has continued to receive his attentions after publicly announcing her engagement to tho officer In foreign service, thereby violating every spiritual law which Is con nected with the ancient betrothal. Another case which we recite Is that of a popular young ludy of North Philadelphia who mod. the remark on the Inquiry of a )oung eallor cf our ship an to why aho was wearing two diamond engagement rings, "Oh, If ono gets killed In action I'll have the other." Theso words of Virgil surely have some meaning, "Omnia femlna muta bale aunt" (meaning all women are fickle). Home writers have missed the point which we wvish to put over. We made the state ment that as a rule girls of foreign lands are more constant In their affections. We do not wish to convey the meaning that all are false, but only making a com parison. When I asked a certain girl of a foreign land tf sho thought her sailor would return (nn American sailor), she replied. "My sailor boy come back soon." Sho had learned to apeak Ungllsh very well. I Inqulled of another who hod a "boy" In the trenches "Vou no marry before the war close? "Nn. no." she replied. "Marry before ze war close, no good; marry after 2u war close, very good." These faits nro not taken from letters, but actual experience n A Traveling Case Most nttractlvo and practical Is a lit tle touring case, which may be tucked Into tho traveling bag. The outer bide of the case Is of chnngeable silk, tho lining of white rubber nnd the base is ubout six by eight Inches.

"It's the war work we were talking of last night." "Don't tell me that you are still thinking of mixing up with things that are none of your affairs, Ituth." "I still have an Idea that I shall he able to do some good somewhere," Ruth returned, steadily. "IJut, dear," put In Helen, "we hnvenjt made any definite plans. Don't disap point Jack. He has probably counted on having you tomorrow morning all te himself " "It ibn't that altogether," Jack re turned.

Why should 1?" Iluth's tone was full of Indignant surprise. "But we needn't argue about It," she added, con scious of Helen's growing discomfort. They hnd been stnndlng In the empty living room of the little apartment nil the time they had been talking, and Ituth felt a bad omen about It. The new Ilttlo home, still unfurnished, still unlived In, had been tho harbinger of the first quarrel between herself nnd Jack. Tho fact was like a prophecy. "Well, Bhall we go down, then?" Heleh said, lightly, drawing her fur cape about her nnd trying to nmlle an though noth ing had happened. All were conscious of the tension In tho atmosphere nnd no one spoke as they left the place and Jack closed the door behind him with a definite Ilttlo click. Jack asked a question about Jim after they had started for homo and Helen responded enthusiastically. Tho con versation for the rest of the short trip centered about Jim and Jlm'a affairs.

And ns the limousine purred softly off, Ruth caught a glimpse of Helen's ftguro disappear ing into the elevator. "Shall I come In 7" asked Jack as the motor stopped nt the door of Ruth's apartment.
