OLD NEWS: Bernie Babcock's 1922 'Billy of Arkansas' falls in love, but is her soldier true?
"Bishop," Aunt Nan said one day. "Billy has always been pretty, but it seems to me she is growing more beautiful every day. I look at her and wonder. And she does not act the same either. She was always unselfish and thoughtful, but there is now some strange sweetness, some tenderness, something I don't know what, but Billy is changing."
