(To the Editor.) /' Sir, —While dancing with a soldier recently, I asked him if he was enjoying the evening, and this was his reply:— " Oh, fair—it's rather a drab outfit to-night: the girls must have put their coloured frocks away for the duration. You know, we boys get frightfully tired of our dun-coloured clothes, and so we do like to come to the dances and feast our eyes on the bright, happy, colourful frocks of the girls." 1 So, girls, bring out your brightest and so relieve the monotony for these brave lads. Life and colour belong to each other. Don't think you are being patriotic by being sombre in your clothes. All things within reason, certainly; but, oh, lei's wear bright frocks with a bright smile for the sake of the effect on others, even if our hearts are aching for someone overseas.—Yours, etc.. RAINBOW.
