Somehow we always think Of English
women as being out-ofdoorsy types, yet
there is an even larger percentage OF
those who before the present conflict
spent little time in the open, preferring
the heavy atmosphere of the pink shaded
boudoir.
These are the women who were always
ailing, always under the doctors care,
usually with a case Of nerves. These
same women have taken to the fields.

tasks from sunup to shutdown with
tremendous Improvement in health,
physical, mental and moral. They were
not wholly to blame for their condition
before the war For generations they
have had restrictions put upon them,
they have been hampered and reminded
of their sex So this new.found freedom
is al the more precious.

Bridesmaids Frocks
le Editor Of Womdn's Page.

Dear Madam-WilI you suggest n simple frock
for my bridesmaids? I to be married IN
June and want TO have four bridesmaids and a
maid OF honor would like something mex
pensive. but appropriate. JUNE.
Very pretty frocks might be made of
white organdie. the skirts fashioned on a
succession of rufiles graduating in size, the
smaller ones at the top. The waists might
be cut on the surplice, and four petals OF
silk In pink or yellow to resemble rose
petals might be brought from the waist
line on the bodice. A soft girdle and ends
OF the same shade would make lovely
finish. Picture hats of pink or yellow
georgette crepe trimmed with one rose and
black velvet ribbon would be very effective.
The maid Of honor might have her girdle
and petals Of deeper shade than the
bridesmaids

The tailored suit is an important
item in every woman's wardrobe.
This model, which is strictly the
conventional "tailleur" except for
the patch pockets and loosely fit
ting belt, is of rose-colored gabar-
dine. Any other less frivolous
color would do equally well-and
in linen or French serge it would
