WOMEN IN INDUSTRY

WOMEN the world over may be proud of the fact that in answer to the call of duty and patriotism something like 2.500.O00 women and girls have entered the industries of Great Britain since the beginning of 1915. Women elsewhere have done the same.
 With the exception of certain skilled trades and occupations necessarily con- fined to men, the, whole world of work Is now for the first time in history open to women. Great Britain Is un- doubtedly benef1ting largely in many ways by the influx of women into the labor world-that is to say, into that portion of 1t which up to the present time has been the special preserve of the male. Curiously enough there is a very serious shortage of women's la bor in a large number of women's 8 trades, chiefly in textiles and clothing. The fact is that the high wages paid to munition workers is responsible for this desertion of the less well paid jobs. Domestic servants. laundresses and waitresses are at a premium.
 "They don't seem satisfied unless they are making something that explodes," " remarked an employer, who found it difficult to get women workers.
 This fresh industrial revolution has brought with it new problems. and the Women's Labor league is doing good service in initiating systematic inquiry and disc'sssion upon them. One speak CT at the opening conference in Lon don hazarded the prediction that at least 100000 men now in the army must be regarded as lost to industry, since they would be either incapaci- tated or would refuse to go back to their old occupations.
 Nevertheless the labor world will be confronted with the necessity of ad = 5usting it's whole basis and policy to the new conditions. It is clear that the woman worker cannot be excluded wholesale neither can she be exploited for tho benef. of interruptions em- ployers. but befors the matter can be adjusted there will be trouble.
 Meantime the Women's Labor league has started a series of conferences in an endeavor to settle the question that the workineman is thinking hardest about-the future of the women who have been drafte5 into industry to take the place of men and the effect on mems wag sS and the general standard of living. as well as upon fusAre chil- dren.

THE ROMANCE OF PEARLS

7 Naturally, where pearls have so de- cided a place of their own there are manyl distinctive touches to be seen in their mounting. A noticeable effect is gained by arranging a series of grad uated lengths in such a way that the upper ones clasp the throat closely. quite high up at the back almost in dog collar fashion. with one string aft CT the other falling below. This neck lace, if the term may pass for want of another, shows something of the atten- tion to the most minute detail to be seen here in all matters big and small. for the strings are fitted to the neck and sloping chest of the wearer so that perfect symmetry obtains.

WHAT woman is indifferent to it, the
 romance of pearls? Impossible to say wherein it lies, else would the elu- siveness of romance be gone, yet cer- tainly 1t is there today as it has been all down the ages, and it is safe to surmise will be till the end. Probably the fact that the pearl is a natural thing gives some clew to the secret. Other gems, beautiful and flashing and gorgeous as they may be. owe their final wonders to human agency. Seen as they are in nature they have none it is the wonderfully skilled and dex- terous cutting. the painstaking and lengthy polishing which give them their place in the world of jewels. But the.

pearl comes straight from its ocean bed, exquisite, natural, mysterious, re- mote in its elusive beauty, owing noth- ing to man and gaining nothing from human skill-a rare thing of beauty in itself, just as the light of the moon on the mountains or the shinamer of dawn on the sea, but if the pearl comes thus direct with the mystery of romance upon it there is a very wealth of knowl- edge needed before its elusiveness can be captured. as it were, it's value noted and appraised.
