the directors of the French Restora

effort just at the moment on this
campaign for rebuilding the schools
of France.

~ war overnight. Once the ink
was dry on the armistice
papers, most people were as though
there had been no war. A few re-
membered and worked on, but the
great strain was over, for women as
well as men. And it may be that
thls is very much as it should be.
But in Europe it is different.
Things went too deeply and went on
TOO long. On every type change
has been registered, but nowhere
has this been more noticeable than
in the case Of the merely frivolous
English woman. And, oddly enough,
frlvolity is found oftenest among
older English women.
Before the war your English
woman Of fashion, particularly in
London, led life Of utter Useless
ness. She breakfasted in bed-al
ways,-idled away her morning, and
frivolled through the afternoon and
evening with bridge and theatres
and tea and dinner. If she lived in
the country, parish visiting was her
nearest approach to earnestness
having the curate to tea or playing
croquet gave her all the thrills she
was expected to have.
