WOMEN AND THE WAR

activities. These
reception houses
are placed at the
entrance to the
cantonments for
the use of women
visiting their sol
dier relatives. So
necessary have
these proved that
tents and bor
rowed rooms were
pressed into use
until houses could
be built. Often
the Association
rooms in the near
est town were
turned temporar
uy Into hostess houses.
“We put up an extra cot," re
ported one western secretary, who re
turned to tell the War Work Coun
cil the special needs of her commun
ity, “for an old Lithuanian mother
who came a hundred miles to see her
boy in camp. She cannot speak a
word of English and she has to have
her old black pipe every hour. But
her boy loves her.
“Another charge bestowed upon us

He was wild with anxiety about her
till we said we would look after het.
“A thirteen-year-old imp has just
been turned over to our care. She
ran away from a convent, and, be
ing adventurous, made straight for
camp.”
Any hostess can tell you heart
breaking stories of times when the
hostess house has been the refuge
of stricken women. She can tell you
also of incidents when the hostess
house has brought about a happy end
ing.
Prayers of gratitude for the Host
ess House are murmured every night
in many towns by women who are of
no particular importance to any one
except to some man in the army—
and to God.
The commandants of the camps are
as appreciative of the hostess houses
as is the most forlorn woman. No
house is erected except at the direct
request of the commanding officer.
Fifty-four houses are now in use,
others are being built as fast as lum
ber and carpenters cdfc be secured.
Each house has its individuality.
The plans for the building at Camp
Gordon, Atlanta, Georgia, were re
drawn by Miss Fay Kellogg in order
to save three magnificent oak trees.
A fine old Southern mansion secured
for the Young Women’s Christian As
sociation headquarters at Petersburg,
Virginia, is as popular with the sol
diers from Camp Lee as is the official
hostess house.
The hostess houses serve the entire
nation.
The work with girls is one of the
most important functions of the War
Work Council. It deals with all kinds
of work with girls. Girls in small
towns, in cities, in country villages,
and in the great manufacturing cen
ters are all touched by the unusual
conditions of a country in a state of
war preparation. Their patriotism
may urge them toward unexpected pit
falls. Their very enthusiasm leads
them into danger.

NOTABLE GATHERING OF 1787
Convention That Formed Constitution
of United States Assembled at
Philadelphia May 25.
The convention that formed the con
stitution of the United States met at
Philadelphia on the 25th of May, 1787.
The articles of confederation under
which the revolutionary war was
fought were not satisfactory, and it
was proposed to amend them. Most
of the delegates to the convention
were so instructed. The states of Vir
ginia, Pennsylvania and New Jersey
appointed their delegates “for the pur
pose of revising the federal constitu
tion”; North Carolina, New Hamp
shire, Delaware and Georgia, "to de
cide upon the most effectual means to
remove the defects of the federal
Union”; New York, Massachusetts
and Connecticut, “for the sole and ex
press purpose of revising the articles
of confederation”; South Carolina and
Maryland, “to render the federal con
stitution entirely adequate to the uctual
situation.” But when the convention
met discussion of the situation led the
delegates to decide upon framing an
entirely new constitution instead of
patching up the old articles of con
federation.
The convention sat nearly four
months, and on the 17th of September,
1787, the completed constitution was
signed by the president of the conven
tion, George Washington, and by all
the members except three. It pro
vided that “the ratifications of the
conventions of nine states shall be
sufficient for the establishment of this
constitution between the states so rati
fying the same." The first state to
ratify it was Delaware, on December
7, 1787, and the ninth was New Hamp
shire, on June 21, 1788. This made it
the constitution of the states that had
ratified it, they constituting the union,
but New York did not ratify until July
26, 1788, North Carolina until Novem
ber, 1789, and Rhode Island until June,
1790.

he intends to re-enlist as a mere mat

civilian life. “No, I’m surely going to
stay In until the war is over.”
