Life close to the front is essentially a simple affair^ these overseas WACs report, and modest, practical Christmas gifts are more to the point than expensive luxuries. Monogrammed ctothes pins, for instance, ; are treasured by WACs living in - army barracks where personal poissessidhs are sometimes hard to ideur I tify unless clearly and plainly I niarked.

Two days later, to his amazement-, the same man passed him and again did not salute. "Didn't I speak to you about saluting the other day?" he asked curtly. .
