The Maker of Bandages
Red Cross Workers Solve i'm One Minute the
Mystery of the Stony Hearted
Mrs. Britt.

A diamond is not the hardest thing
in the world. A diamond will cut
glass and bore through case hardened,
tempered chrome steel, but glass and
steel-the diamond itself too-are soft
compared to some things. The hardest
thing in the world is hard woman.
Mrs. Britt was such woman.
have seen hard women in my time,
but never one who was harder. She
smiled seldom, and when she smiled it
was like the glitter of Ice. She spoke
infrequently, and when she spoke her
speech was the tinkle of hail on slate
roofing. She did not look as if she had
ever wept in her life.
Every morning Mrs. Britt appeared
at the Red Cross auxiliary in upper
Broadway. She was the first to arrive
in the morning, the last to leave at
night. No one knew much about her,
though. She was not the sort that
make condolences. But that she was
worker-a hard .worker-nO one would
dispute. Efficiency, as you'd suppose,
was trait of Mrs. Britts.
Are Efficient Women Hard?
Effloiency-dreadfu word thatl How
often hard women are efficientl How
often efficient woman are hard! She
was both, Mrs. Britt. The moment she
came in at the door she had her hat
and jacket Off The next instant she
was at her place. her mouth set, grim,
austere and hard-hard at work. Prob
ably she did her work only from sense
Of duty. Hard women always profess
that trait. Duty, dutyl But, then,
few women are as hard as Mrs. Britt.
In contrast to her was Mrs. Farlow.
She was soft and womanly and gentle
the exact opposite. She was not
very efficient, of course, though she
tried. Day after day Mrs. Farlow sat
Mt the work table, her mouth culver
ing, smiling wistfully, the tears starting
in her eyes. The bandages tfrat came
from her were often soiled and rum
pled poorly sewn, too. by her poor lit
tie trembling fingers. 1t was won
der she could even see to sew at all.
Again and again what she. turned in
had to be thrown away.
But no one reprimanded her. No one
even let fall hint that she was more
Of burden than a help. The hearts
of all those women ached with woman.
ly pity for the poor, stricken mother.
Once in awhile, though, in her corner
at the back Of the room Mrs. Britt
would turn around and throw glance
at her. The glance was as hard as
rocks-harder, In fact
Mrs. Farlow had son In the Rain.
bow division The son was the Oldest
Of her four children, and until he went
away the little mother had been the
bsppiest woman in the world. Now any
day he might be ordered of to France.

Farlow back on her chair; with the
other she thrust at her the half fin.
ished bandage. Her tone as grim as
her face, she spoke, and again the
sound of 1t was like hail pattering on
slate. you're not thinking of your
son." she said. you're just thinking
of yourself!"
There was murmur of remon.
