WHAT WAR HAS DONE TO
ONE ENGLISH WOMAN

Maude Radford Warren, the we'll
known writer, has written an article
for the Woman's Home Companion
on what the women in England are
doing, and she says:
SIN England and in France 1 met
women of all classes, giving all there
was of them to their country. The
poor woman, who thought she was
working as hard as she could. has
been taught by the war that she can
get more out of herself. The career
of the great lady is no longer So
ciety, but the business of war, and
she asks more of herself than she
ever used to ask of her maids.
Three years ago Lady Henry
Grosvenor was leading the usual lei
surely life of her class, differing from
her friends chiefly in the fact that
she was a collector of antique fur
niture and art objects, and gave a
good deal of time to the study OF
her bobby. Now she lives in cheap
building with munition girls, eats the
same kind of food they do and works
even longer hours. She is in charge
of the Y. NJ. G. A. canteens in Wool
wich Arsenal and in the Wears fac
tory at Crayford, and also supervises
two hotels for women and one for
boys. She buys food by the ton, en-
ploys thousands of workers, and
feeds. daily, tens OF thousands. And
she does it so .skillfully there is no
waste and no Complaint"

Indifferent to the urgent call for

ing the home fires burning by busily
plying needles for the Sammees.
