traditional things women are supposed
to grow faint about? But, seriously
speaking between you and me, isn't IL
something of which TO be proua? This
bravery. too. extends further than mers
physical discomfort. Women can grit
their teeth and make up their minds
to bear great many things
How many girls are carrying heavy
burdens and never saying word to
the world about them? Supporting tho
family. for instance. when, the first born
son of the house picks up his little kit
bag and goes off TO make his fortune,
leaving the others TO struggle on as
best they may.

Of COURSE we have always known
women can stand great deal more
pain than men, but just TO have the
sheer joy Of hearing some one say it
again, the other day we put the question
to nurse who has had the unique OK
perience Of assisting a nose and throat
specialist some hundreds Of times at
a certain operation whore no general
!anesthetic is given Cocaine is locally
applied, and where the patient does
not actually suffer any pain there is a
chance TO Summon the stiff upper lip
while the doctor goes about his job.
Which" was the question put 'is
the Drawer in facing and going through
the operation"
There wasn't aosecond's hesitation.
1t was as though the lesson had been
learned by heart.

replied; "mcn cant begiu to stand as

quality and crochctCd on the large
needles These large needles used for
this sort Of work are Of wood and about
an inche in diameter. The large needle
and the small sized silk thread make.
as YOU understand. the last effect.
This is a style of trimming that any
woman might make and also find it
interesting work. Not only can one
make the regular crochet on these large
needles but what is known as the fish =
net pattern can also be made. This.
too. makes very interesting trimming
The artist has made You several
sketches which will give you an idea
how YOU might use this sort Of work
besides the way already mentioned. At
