round beneath fading starlight, the

AS to the underground, and at the
foot lift or escalator a woman porter
is bullying the ti"sin,
These women -in -grey are self-con-
scious no longer, When the war' was
young they would peer shyly ftlont
Ihiddeu doors: their voices were ever
soft, gentle and' low. It was all vary
fey and a trifle disturbing. Now, for
Many months, they have exchanged
the Mary Rose manner: for the pre-
sence and diction of a sergeant -major.
One stento' roars us on to the
trait. A, second calls us out of it in
mid -London, Above, the ever present
bus conductresses have also sited
their diffidence. Growing steadily in
numbers and vigor, they can now
punch their way, unabashed, through
any antnibus or tramcar. 1t is nearly
a year since Mr. Emlyn Williams put
the first stage conductress into his
play, "The Morning Star." Today she
is almost a period figure.
Women are also in the van at the
main railway stations. Mounted be-
side the driver of every goods dray,
they are now as acrobatic as any of
the van -boys they have followed.
The toll continues: this woman hi
blue overalls is a street-swcieper;
this one, a Window cleaner as expert
with the leather as Galsworthy's Mr,
Bly and less, obviously a character
part. Over the way is the peaked cap
of a woman meter -reader — electrici-
ty or gas. Off a suburban street a
woman shoemaker does the work left
by her husband. A woman butcher
cleaves a joint. A dust cart rumbles
by, three salvage girls sitting on the
back step, A woman porter (domestic
version) will admit 'them to the
block of flats down the road.
In town around midday, women
"newsies"—some of them grandmoth-
ers—are calling the early editions.
At the termini, rialway-women in the
huskiest tradition, trundle cases
along the platform, label luggage or
check tickets. Overhead, the confid-
ent tones of a woman announcer
warn all passengers, many of whom
are waiting sleepily, that it is es-
sential' to change at W for X, Y, and
Z. Outside a post office van -woman in
red -piped uniform hauls a plethoric
russet mailbag. '
Everywhere, about noon, we see
thte housewife in her own uniform of
slacks and turban, delivering her own
unwrapped parcels to herself. Trades-
men's van have gone out, but the
'shopper must still go in. At any time
before lunch she can be found with
the ''triumphant booty, of the morn
ing's queue.

Man may come to inspect the tele-
phone. The bank has a woman cash-
ier. Plumbers' mates are not what
they were. All the while, through sta-
tions
tations and central' street's, flow the
tides of women in uniform—from the
Wren's tilted sailor -hat to the Land
Army's aggressive pullover.
A few trades remain aloof. Women
sweeps are still prized specimens. So,'
at the opposite pole, afe women bar-

Women's Work Is
Never Done
J. G. Trewin in "Britain."
Women ("delicate creatures") in
this fantastic year of 1943 are billet
painters, welders, and electricians'
mates. They are cold sawyers and
hot straightenenrs. They operate pow-
er hack saws and drive cranes, Pro-
verbially their work is never done;
today it is always beginning in some
unexpected quarter.
We are so inured to the idea of
women -at -arms, of at work in a
foundry, mill and forge, that we may
overlook the routine jobs of every
day, women's new place in the ebb -
and -flow of the city streets. Social
historians are likely to think as much
of this as of the armature winding,
the chucking, the hot straightening,
and those other technical exotics.
London now offers an almost com-
plete cast of women understudies.
They keep the plot moving from that
first morning drive along the milky
way to the porter's last midnight
clarion.

: Coaltion Seen
The Huron and Huron -Bruce rid-
ings were redeemed by the Progress-
ive Conservatives in Wednesday's
provincial election when Dr. R.
Hobbs Taylor, Dashwood, won in
Huron by a majority of 465, and J.
W. Hanna, Wingham, won in Huron -
Bruce by 139.
James Ballantyne, Usborne, Lib-
eral, was the member in the last
Legislature, with a majority in 1937
of 1180. He was displaced at the nom-
ination meeting last month by Ben.
son Tuckey, Exeter, who failed to
carry the riding against Dr. Taylor.
The vote. in Seaforth was compara-
tively light, less than 100 votes being
polled during the morning. This may
have been partly due to cars not be-
ing available for drawing voters to
the polls.
When the result became known a
victory celebration in honor of Dr. Oestricher Taylor •Tuckey
Taylor started at - Exeter and pro. Seaforth . , 91 275 346'
exceeded the Liberals in members
elected.
The final results are Conservative
38, CJC.F. 33, Liberal 14, others 3.
At dissolution of the Ontario Leg•
islature the Liberal Party held 'a
wide working majority with 59 mem-
bers. The C.J.F. had on members
and the Conservatives had only 19.
10 seats were vacant.
All three party leaders were elect -
'ed on Wednesday—Mr. Nixon in
Brant riding; Col. Drew in Toronto
High Park, and Mr. Jolliffe in York
South.
Eight cabinet ministers went down
to defeat.
Ex -Premier Mitchell F. Hepburn
was swept back into the Legislature
with a majority in Elgin of 2523.
A significant resultof the voting,
is the vote run up by the C.C.F. It
exceeds any forecast made for them
and makes them a formidable con-..
tender in the Federal field. -

a probability. Col. Drew with the

bers is expected to be named prem-

Defeat of the Liberal administra-

cisive. Both the Progressive Conser-
vatives and the C,C.F.—the latter
under E. B. Jolliffe, Toronto lawyer
and former Rhodes scholar, at 34 the
youngest of the party leaders—far
the milkwoman will be up again. The
wheel comes full circle; women's
work is never done.
