Liberty Girl

Yes, it was Grace, who, in her sprightliest manner, her face aglow from the invigorating breezes of an April afternoon, called out, Ah there, girls! How are you? Oh, my lucky star must have guided me, for I have something thrilling to tell you! As she spoke the girl guided the car to the curb, and the next moment, with an airy spring, had landed on the ground at their side. With a sudden movement the uniformed figure clicked her heels together and bent stiffly forward as her arm swung up, while her forefinger grazed her forehead in a military salute. I salute you, comrades, she said with grave formality, at your service as a member of the Motor Corps of America. Yes, girls, she shrilled joyously, forgetting her assumed rôle in her eagerness to tell her news, Im on the job, for Im to see active service for the United States government. Ive just returned from an infantry drill of the Motor Corps at Central Park, New York. No, Ill be honest, she added laughingly, in answer to the look of amazed inquiry on the faces of her companions, and fess that I didnt have the pleasure of drilling in public, for Im a raw recruit as yet.
