as soon as she came back!
"But why were you cleaning before

"Heard what?" asked Tilly Turtle.
"They gave a party here two nights

had planned to have it under the haw-

"They thought it wouldn't make any

Molly Mole put in mildly.
"Oh, it's quite true!" said Sally

"It's a mercy they didn't fit the

to be absolutely free from opiates and
other injurious drugs. Concerning
them Mie. Auguste St. Brleux, Sask.,

BRITISH WOMEN WORKERS.
All Class Distinction Levelled by the
War.
Walking up the Strand recently I
saw a young woman dressed in a kha-
ki Russian blouse, long khaki tron-I
sers and a khaki turban; writes a vis-
itor in London. She was perched on
a ladder, busily washing windows.
Hundreds passed the spot every min-
ute but few even raised their eyes to
look at her.
Women in trousers have long ceas-
ed to be a novelty here. Three years
ago this one would have blocked traf-
fic in the Strand. To-tlay she is sim-

fzed "to keep the home fires burning,"
The war found British men unpre-
pared and confused, but unafraid. It
found women almost entirely ignored,
though their patriotism ran just as
high as that of their brothers, fathers
and sons. After three years of strife
there are still no quitters among the
women, and few pacifists or' "con-
scientious objectors."
In the first days every woman
wanted to be a, nurse. It made no
difference that she probably had

The romance of nursing appealed
to the lady in Belgravia, the cotton
spinner in Manchester, and the typist
in Whitehall. And nine times out of
ten the Manchester miss and Lady
Belgravia were equally willing to
tackle tbe job of scrubbing the hos-
pital floorii, and doing the rest of the
strenuous labor incident to a nerse's

The two most popular types of con- cure for them is the old established

The former is poured in sectinal
moulds, the concrete being suitably
reinforced with steel rods, and the lat-
ter is built with concrete blocks,
which may be purchased from a man-
facturer or made by the farmer him-
self during the slack season, those'
blocks being set up in mortar in the
same manner as ordinary masonry.
World's Tallest Women.
The average height of the French
women is five feet one inch. The
American, women measure two inches
taller, or five feet three inches. The
English •wemen touch the tape at a
half inch higher than that, or at five!
feet three and a half inches. The'
women of the other countries meas-
ure from one to five inches less than
the French.

millions of pins turned out annually
by the factories? If they merely "got
lost" our floors and streets would be
littered with them. They not only
"got lost," but they vanish by rusting
away to dust. Doctor Xavier, a Paris
scientist, kept observation on individ-
ual specimens. He found that an or-
dinary hairpin took only 154 days to
blow away in dust. A steel pen nib
lasted just under fifteen months. A
common pin took eighteen months,
while a polished steel needle took two
and a half years to disappear.

Shaving Single, Handed
in a Military HQ_Spital
Only those who have been there can
realize what the Gillette Safety Razor is
doing for the wounded!
Clean shaving on the firing line, possible only
with a Gillette, has saved endless trouble in dressing
face wounds. In the hands of orderly or nurse it
shortens by precious minutes the preparations for
operating. Later, in the hands of the patients, it is
a blessing indeed!
As soon as their strength begins to return, they
get the Gillette into action, and fairly revel in the
finishing touch which it gives to the welcome clean=:
liness of hospital life. For though he can use but
one hand—and that one shaky—a man can shave
himself safely and comfortably with a Gillette
Safety Razor.
11 may seem a little thing to you to send a Gillette to that
lad you know Overseas, but to him 11 31,111 mean so much ! 11
