War Scarred Debutantes

Observing an eyeworthy young thing of our acquaintance wearing a sort of neat gold stripe over her heart the other evening, we asked' what, it signified, a columnist in the "Bystander tells his readers. She said it was to show that it was her! aecond season as a debutante, that she had been through six engage- ments, and that she was keeping her powder dry. She said she held honorary lance-corporals rank in the Mayfair Iron Division (Storm Troops), and was expecting a month's leave quite shortly."

As we took leave of the cheerful, charming creature, we saw her Mamma in the distance, and noted a gleam in that tough old cham- [paigner's eye which reminded us ominously of Släfried Sassoon's lines about

purple Majore at the Base. Speeding glum heroes up the line to death, and we couldn't help won- dering what happens to debutantes who desert from the line. Are they (we wondered) buried alive, in the manner of the Vestal Virgina, in Berkeley Square by night, or is there a grim little ceremony in the Dorchester courtyard some morn- ings at dawn?
