other pleasantries. She is quite acclima-
 tized to her job now, and Is a helpful

 Many railway lines have also adopted
 women conductors who wave their flags
 and whistle their signals and give flying
 leaps upon moving trains with the
 aplomb that comes from complete fa-
 miliarity with their new profession, and.
 also, of course, the girl motor bus con
 ductor Is no longer a novelty in either
 London or provincial city streets.
 Then there are postwomen in their dark blue livery and girls who look after the elevators in government buildings and stores and hotels and big blocks of of fees; and there are the munition women III their long khaki cloaks and skirts and caps edged with bright scarlet The wom- ems auxiliary force with it's uniform of dark blue faced with khaki is also an uncommonly useful body, while the wonn- en bakers have adopted uniform that consists of white linen overalls and caps that are most becoming.
 GIRL BUTCHERS
 There are quite number of girl butch CTS in country towns who wear coarse blue aprons over linen trousers and olouses, and the other day I met girl In trousers riding a bicycle, carrying on her arm basketful of cats meat. She was being followed by a procession of miauling pussies who seemed to know that she was on her rounds delivering the portions of horsefesh on a skewer that forms the usual feline repast. Another growth of wartime industry is the pit girl, who hourishes just now in the coal districts, and in some of the Scot tish mining counties. She is a braw and
 strapping lassie, who wears her rough bifurcated garments with ease if not with grace Among the most useful organizations now to be found in London and In cities and towns throughout Great Britain are the womens fire brigade. They have been known to save life and property on sev- eral occasions during the past year or two, and as they are usually under the guidance of some old and skillful fire man, their services are entirely practical Their fire stations are well-equipped and the girls are fearless and sufficiently quick in dealing with emergencies But even now the list of the women who work" during these anxious days and nights in our right little tight little is- land" is terribly incomplete. One can only add "etcetera, etcetera and again etcet- era" to the huge total and still the end would not be near.

 All the women employed in work that
 concerns military service except, of course. army nurses, Red Cross nurses
 and w. A. D." nurses, wear khaki uni forms. As a rule, they are as strictly divided into ordinary Soldiers" noncorn-
 missioned officers and officers, ranking from subalterns to captains as are the masculine forces of the empire They drill and have route marches and go through
 musketry practice and bombing courses with tremendous enthusiasm, and are ex- tremely useful in many ways in connec-
 ton with our home forces.
 SCHOOLGIRLS IN UNIFORM Girl Guides" and Girl Scouts are also becoming a very strong body in all parts of the country. They are nearly all schoolgirls who have adopted similar rules of life and training as those initiated by the Boy Scouts" of whom General Sir Robert Baden-Powell is the "com- mander in chief" The chief Girl Scoutv Is his wife, Lady Baden-Powell, who, when inspecting her forces, wears, as they do, neat pleated skirt of dark blue serge coming just below the knee, and a blouse of the same material having a handkerchief, colored according to the division represented, knotted round the elAi Oeil dliu d udIf Dluc SlFaW or 1elL SOr-
 brero with leather strap beneath the chin. Girl Guides also carry long slaves that they use for signaling purposes, or when scouting in the country They
 have been found of the greatest service
 during these war years as messengers at public offices or at military depots.
 ANOTHER CALLING
 Another wartime calling that employs uniformed women Is the driving of the royal mail carts which carry 95 per cent or his majesty's mail bags from head postoffices to mail trains and vice versa
