By MRS. GRANNY RYLON.

The Washington Post, of Febru-
ary "a, says:
Women are now so thoroughly
identified with war work that it is
important to become familiar with
their uniforms, for they are be-
coming numerous, and are of great
interest. The familiar blue of the
navy mingles freely with the more
modern khaki among the yeowomC .
and the girl field clerks. and the
somber gray of the motor corps girls
are becoming as familiar as the
time-honOred white of the Red
Cross nurse with her graceful, long,
blue cape. The volunteer workers in
nursing, sewing, instructing and
scores of other branches have
adopted still another costume fol-
lowing the lines of the nurses uni
form, but with a soft, flowing veil
of French blue and a comfortable
blue cape of ample proportions. In
fact. the uniformed women are
growing so general that conven-
tiOnal dress will soon become con-
spicuous. The chic khaki uniform
of the female field clerk would make
the plainest girl attractive, with its
killed skirt, smartly cut coat, cam
paign hat. and masculine puttees.
There are dispatch bearers, too, who
have a leather bag attached TO a
strap over one shoulder which, in
addition to an air of Importance,
gives an added touch of smartness
and jauntiness. One girl, just from
a fashionable school, chose this line
of duty and enlisted in it, just be-
cause of the cut Of the uniform.
But the apparent frivolity in choice
of costume has made her no less
trustworthy or efficient in her
work"
The Young lady from the fashion
able school does not seem TO be alone
in her saturial patriotism. Over
night We have rushed TO wells, uni
forms, and trousers which seem to
fill an inherent want in our souls
