Toul Hostess House Keeps Doors Open for All War Workers
Miss Marguerite Stewart, formerly a W C A secretary in Houston, led the overseas Hostess house at Toul. She recalls no woman being turned away, with cots on benches when beds filled and nurses from various allied organizations stopping there. The house, near the station, doubles as a club for nurses and a hotel for war workers. The bath tub, the only one in Toul, became a famed attraction after a plank-wrenching effort to bring it from Nancy. American officers, Red Cross staff, and WWC A workers all used the facilities, including a bar now staffed by American girls in W C A uniforms serving hot chocolate and apple pie. Stewart chaired the W C A nurses’ club at Base Hospital No. 18 for six months amid front-line proximity and air raids, calling Reconstruction work in America of greater potential than in France after nine months in service.
