English Woman Has Received
Three Medals for War Work

When the war started in August,
1914, Mrs. Wynne was merely a
wealthy Engllshwoman, living a quiet,
normal life. She drove her motorcars,
hunted, did some charitable work and
was Interested in politics and her
many friends Now she is the only
woman in the world who has gained
the triple crown of the Croix de
Guerre. the Leopold and the st. George.
She was decorated personally by the
Ting of the Belgians with the order Of
Leopold, and the French government
bestowed upon her the Croix de
Cuerre which is rarely given to a
woman, for work actually done on the
field of battle, says a writer in the
American Magazine.
Then she went to Russia and there,
also. Mrs. Wynne tOiled and suffered.
She and her workers rushed daily into

Here is a suggestion for making n de-
licious dish for an inexpensive steak.
Mock Duck
On a round steak cut thin, place Il
stufling of bread crumbs we'll sea-
sCned with chopped onions, butter or
other fat, salt, pepper, and flavOrinGs
such as sage, celery seed, etc, If de-
sired. Roll the steak around the stuff
fng and tie in several places with n
string. If the steak is tough, steam or
stew the roll until tender before roast
ing in the oven.
If desired, the roll may be cooked In
n casserole, in which case cupful OF
more of water should be added.

Some Observations.

The trouble with some folks is
that they don't consider they nre
having a good time unless they
are, making a nuisance Of them
selves.
Nobody works quite so well
as the man who has had h good
nights sleep.
A man may think he is hiding
his disslpatiOns from his en-
plOyers but his work tells.
It's easy enough to find
friends In fair weather; the man
with an umbrella TO lend when
it Is raining is the bird.
As n general rule If the boss
isn't on the job himself the
clerks aren't either.
The history books would be
bigger than they are if all men
had accomplished half the things
they intended to do.
What's become Of the old
fashioned boy who had the no.
ton that he had to go to New
York to make his fortune?

Of Rome to little animals which live In
