Her friends laughed at her. but

Mrs. Reilly tells thrilling story
of her return to Warsaw and of the
subsequent German occupation of that
city.
"Ordinarily it took about four hours
for an express to reach Warsaw"
she said, hut a half day elapsed be-
fore we reached home We were pack
ed in the train like sardines. We had
not time to provide refreshments, so
when we reached Warsaw we were
fatigued and famished.
In Warsaw everything was in
turmoil. Troops were hurrying hither
and thither and general excitement
was tremendous. But within a fort
night business was resumed as usual.
Merchants reaped harvest, hotels
were crowded and restaurants were
filled.
Then the wounded began to be
brought to the base hospital at War
saw. A Polish relief organization
was formed. A number of girl friends

Nicholas, in the spring of 1915, exc

she said that the time when peace

pended on the supply of raw material.
When | remarked that that would de-
pend in its turn upon how much raw
material we let Germany have, she
said the workers wanted fair di-
vision of raw material between the
allies and Germany. When l asked
whether the principle of equal work
for equal pay may not result in q
good deal of unemployment among
women, she said that she was anxious
to see women leave unsuitable and
arduous empioyments and looked to
some form of endowment of mother

that Poland would be free. The am

Polish people in a spirit OF skeptical

Perhaps not. but to me it seems griev-
GUS that the good work of these girls
should be of no further use to them
selves or their country. Where they
have been employed their output has
sometimes doubled that of the men
they replaced. and If our industrial
system cannot make room for them,
so much the worse for the system.
1t Is just possible that engineers who
come back from the front will not
see eye to eye with those who have
been protecting their craft at home.

It is not an easy task to wear the
severely tailored, suits which are
fashionable this s It is much
simpler to get a belted and rather
ordinary pocketed model and look
like everybody else. But If one has
the slimness and the type of face and
form to q a strictly tailored cos
tune there is nothing more striking
in he whole of fashions styles from
morning aprons to evening gowns.
The woman or girl who adopts the
tailleur suit must have an unerring
sense of the fitness of things and she
must never ruin the effect of her suit
by wearing inappropriate hats, boots,
or blousas to complete her costume.
She must be unusually careful about
her carriage and walk for a straight
