— "mind your manners." Let's face it. Men like us to be careful of the social niceties. And this goes double for men in uniform who are taught by Army and Navy regulation to mind theirs. A girl's soft "thank you" or "please" has started more romances than moonlight-and-roses. They love it when you allow them to be gallant by helping you into the car or seating you at table. Ask any man. He likes a girl to be kind and thoughtful as well as vivid and vital. There are so many ways to show consideration — by suggesting interesting places to see; by sending him back to camp on time (six weeks' restriction to post for being late isn't going to raise your stock with him!); by realizing that he probably hasn't much money to spend and keeping the date-cost light.

Or maybe they'd rather ease their homesickness by telling you about their family, their home, all the things they used to do before joining up. Don't make a frantic effort at conversation. It will come easily if you're just friendly and interested.
