BITS OF I Eil RUMOR F Om 11 ROM HEREWHERE Not Less Wifely or Motherly (1, R Because of War Expenences and New Occupations. n When the first conductoretto ap- peared on the rear platform of a Lon- don omnibus, the complacent persons, U who every day won the war from the crimson depths of club chairs or the stralghtbacked sofas of Victorian drawing rooms, hold UP their hands In righteous horror and prophesied the c downfall of British woman -hood, says $ a London despatch, Well, they saw a great deal more than that before it finished. They saw the weaker sex pushing loads of lug- gage down the platforms of railway stations; saw them conducting under- ground trains, driving lorries, deliver - Ing Mail, policing thestroeta, gathering harvests, felling forests to make, rail- f road ties over there where most of the men folks were. "What's to become of the homes?" the unimaginative crowd cried. "Those girls are not fit to be future mothers. of the face." And a great many more ,such stupid and quasi-sontImeutal things. Meanwhile, the girls carried on. The country inns saw quite a new type of guest. The woman travelling salesman. It has always seemed rather absurd that men should choose as their life's work the peddling of ribbons and laces, of silk underwear and feminine frills. When the war took these men away from their work, their employers substituted women. The woman commercial traveller is one of the most notable outcomes of the war. When the men came back they (lid not seem any too keen to re- sumn their old time occupations. The war had taught them what Is, man I s work. So they quite readily accepted 1=-itions in now fields of endeavor. And the women remained. Shopkeepers say the new drummers speak the language of the trade as none of their predecessors did. Why shouldn't a, woman be more eloquent on the subject of crepe de chino under- wear and Irish crochet than a man? Revolution in Garments. The driving of ambulances in France and Flanders has sent women into an industry quite new to women in any vountry. It is not an uncommon sight when touring in England to drive up to some garage and be met by a woman in businesslike manner, who asks what she can do for you. Of course the Uniform is skirtless. The breeeh- es habit has come to stay. These new garage keepers are of- ficlent too. The farm girl has come to stay This shows endurance, for the Englis� farms are. not as well equipped with labor-saving devices as similar farms in tills Country. The houses are badly heated and very often the fare Is of tile crudest, In spite of this there, were thous- ands of girls vrho left the large cities because the Government of their coun- try said that the soil must produce more food, and ' went Gut to do their share in making It produce more. Now these girls find city life suf- focating. They say they never felt so well in their lives, They certainly loolz It. Mauy have special kinds of farm work as their life's occupation. One of the most Important Is! market gar- deuing. Usually there are �wo girls as Daitners in this Industry. One looks after the business part of the game. The other is overseer of the. garden. Market gardening Is one of the moat lucrative trades in England. Chauffeurs and Artists. The woman chauffeur Is quite a re- cognized Institution now, When there Nvere rumors, of women taxi drivers in London, the taxi men threatened to go out on strike. The picture papers amade quite a ease of the first woman taxi driver, She was Interviewed and photographed ftud generally sensm- tionalized. She was an artist, and z,U111c, out of a little studio in Yeoman's Row to substitute the wheel for the palette. There waq no strike, To -day the woman taxt-driver dodges In and ont of the traffic as it she had always berm dodging. Speaking of artists, there were three girls who woreengaged In some! kind of war work which took them In -4 to country places. They were obzor- vaut of everything and noticed par- ticularly that the country towns wore especially lacking In good literature, artistic chintzes and crotonnes, china, pictures and all the things which mean real life to the artist. This ]a what they did: Took the old- est house in town --it was a fifteenth century dwell In g­cle aned it up and turned It Into an up-to-date art shop. They nosed around the second-hand shops in London and found treasures, and tile result was a very attractive shop whore customers might roam at ease, Inspect everything without be - Ing pre-_,�ed to buy, have toa, It they linpDoned in at the tea hour ---In short have It kind of comfortable club. To4ay the girls, have More work thall they can do, Their place Is 0110 of the show places of the country, and for the first time in their lives, tho girls are becoming prosperon,3 through their connection with art!
