Some of the girls who read this first story of Lucy Gordon's army lifehave spent their lives on army posts as well as she, and perhaps haveeven lived on Governor's Island. A good many others, though, have onlyvisited posts, and have never felt that they knew much about the lifeof army girls, except that it was full of sudden changes. But in thislast year the American army has grown very real and absorbing to everygirl in America. Not one of them but has become an army girl in spirit,with some strong tie to bind her to our posts, to our training camps,or to our fighters on the Western Front.
The war is as yet only beginning for Lucy Gordon, and the old, pleasanttimes are just ending, but, like every other girl in America, she istrying hard to find the courage and cheerfulness which have never yetbeen wanting in our Service and which are going to help America to win.
In "Captain Lucy in France" she sees the perilous "Front" for herself,and has a small part in some great events.
Aline Havard.
