But here is a sample of Canadian opinions on this same article. There are 30 soldiers (all University students and therefore have a degree of common sense) in my hut, and all have read the article enclosed and have more or less to comment on the subject. _ By actual vote, sixteen said it was right in every detail, declaring from what they knew of English and Colonial girls. the former would make better wives, and that the great majority of Canadian girls wanted autos, pleasure, and a good time. _ Eleven of the thirty cunsidered that the contrast was a little Do British Girls : ‘Make the Better Wives ? too much in favor of the British lass,. While they approved of what the article said about the good qualities of the girls in this country they were not in favor of having their own sisters placed in an inâ€" ferior position _ The remaining three deâ€" cided to keep private counsel and would make no comment The question is much talked about over here and it has spread about that that the war brides are not being warmly welcomed when they reach vanada, Australia or whatever l A soldier who signs himself "Scottishâ€" | | Australian," writes to "The Dundee Bulâ€" ’ |letia"; "In your edition of ‘The Bulletin® of Jan. 23 there is an article relating to ‘Scottish and English girls going to the |Colomes, â€" especially referring to the. . many recent marriages which have taken . place among the Australian and Canaâ€" , dian troops. Your correspondent speaks in a way that gives the impression that the average British girl is not suited for life in the Colonies, and expresses with a shake of the nead that her experience out there will be anything but happy | _ Now sir, 1 would like to say a few | words on this point, n my experience of |life in Australia and New Zealand 1 traâ€" | velled pretty well in both countries, and also was a worker in the cities and the ‘country districts of both countries, and I say most emphatically, and am quite without fear of controdiction, that the average Scottish or English girl has abâ€" solutely nothing to fear from competition with her Colonial sister. country they intend to reside in, the peoâ€" ple there giving them the cold shJulder when they arrive. â€" But we scarcely credâ€" it such a narrowâ€"minded statement. Though we are not experts on the femâ€" inine side of the life, we all have our o«n opinions and my own is that the overseas goldiers fresh from mud aud shells and gory fields found a different temperament i0 the girls here which was to their likâ€" ing. Atleast khaki was much fussed about when a ')ldler came on leave from France. Here‘the i« anadian girl was at a disadvantage as she had no opportunity to welcome soldiers while on leave. 1 am confldent they would have responded equally well if there had been a chance Certainly they did their duty in writing letters and sending parcels toboy friends. I venture to say that many of the boys when they reach Canada this year will modify their opinion greatly when they meet old friends again. i 1M I have met lots of Australians who ‘ have married in England or Scotland, | and they have told me that it was not: looks at all they were thinking of when they married ; it was simply and solely because the Scottish girl has the ability to buckle to and make a home either in city or country. J â€" Aunother thing, the Colonial gic will Il not be a servant, nor will she go on the land if she can avoid it. _ Consequently, I have met in both countries Scottish and English women who have without any trouble at all made themselves good positions. Why ? wWell, the average Colonial girl is very fond of a good time, she won‘t do this and she won‘t do that ; her hands are very nice and soft, and she bas a fair share of jewellery on her finâ€" gers and wrists. Why, you have the proof in Britain now. Look st the number of marriages taking place. Do you think all the men are fools ? I do not think so What is the reason which is making the British girl so attractive to Colonial eyes ? Her love of home, and her ability to make a home. The men see it at once and are not slow‘to take the advantage. The Colonial girl is not near‘y so fond of her home as the Scottish or English girl ; the average home training in the Colonies is nothing to compare with the average home life of the Scottish or Engâ€" lish girl.

Ripon, England, April 13 Quite a large namber of our youngk rpeopie aitended the party at Mr Alex Campbell‘s of Crawford on Monday evening, given in honor of their son Douglas, who bas recently returned trom overseas and all report a very enjoyable time. TORONTO ‘t is to the Ecottish and! English girls that the men look for, for farmer‘s wives. My advice to the girls in Britain is, if they really want to marry Australians or Canadians or New Zealanders, they have absolutely nothing to fear, and if they are going to citiese or country towns there is not a bit of difference between their cities and country towns and ours, As long as a girl is healthy and has common sense she can much more than hold her own in the Colonies, She has only to go there and see for herself, and she can snap her fingers at the wiseacres who shake theirheads and talk nonsense, Mr and Mrs Bert Kennefick and family and Mrand Mrs Jas.
