Graduate nurses are employed at

workrooms are each separate; ~

/ little individual rooms gre fresh and
( scientifically clean. Their coldly
scientific aspect is modified by filmy

] In each room there is n chart show

The spirit Of Mrs. Morris perme-
a.cs .hc whole place. She .s on :he
| Job every day and interested in every
! development She knows the details
OF the shop by heart and Is fun OF
enthusiasm for every phase of the
work. In reply to the question as
| to whether 1t was a paying business
| she exclaimed:
"From the dav we opened Il was
a paying proposition. Besid - doing
a FUN business here In the house we
| are now doing "A good mail order bus
| mess. ] had no idea when ! started
what a demand there would ne fo-
/ these things. l get orders from all
/ over the world for our preparations
| One lust came today from Singapore.
| We get many orders from the middl-
! west---nrders for $2s or $50 worth
| OF material at a writing. Some Of the
| letters are badly worded and written
! But the demand Is greater than J

when ! get these orders from
women so far away cannot help
| feeling that they are reaching OUT
! for something and that maybe by
! helping them to improve their ap-
| pearanCes we are helping them more
| deeply. Women have reached the
! point where they want To eXnrocs
themselves; they want 10 do their
part, Some of them do not know
exactly what that is, but they are
trying to find themselves. This crop
ing has come in real earnest since
the war The war did women lots
Of good. just as ! feel il did men lots
OF harm. The home used 20 he the
factory and the women in It the fac
tory worker, That factory work had
| been transferred elsewhere before
the war. but it was during the war
that women realized Il, Now women
are getting out and offering a worth
whilo contribution to the world,
They are no longer satisfied with. a
pat on the back for work we'll done.
They want recognition and compen-
sation.'
In this proclamation Mrs Morris
was no doubt EXPIRE ssinE herself and
many OF her friends. Charity work
and lending their names to commit
tees no longer suffice for these wom-
IN. They must be doing something
that brings recognition, respect and
compensation.
Women also owe II to their chill

an outdoor woman. She plays golf
in tournaments--sh swims. she
rides and plays tennis. As a busi-

business woman should have some
outdoor exercise Mrs Morris Is

called was wearing a sort Of sand
colored Canton crepe suit with
brown hat and brown low shoes, Her
ewes are dark; her face and hands
soft IN texture and tanned from the
open air. She has a great deal OF
nervous energy and the faculty OF
injecting her heareT with enthusiasm
for her work Small wonder that

House sesm 80 pleased with what

The patrons. or rather patronesses
OF Primrose House are for the most
mart society women. As we have
said. MANY OF them are Mrs Morris'
f~iends. put nnws OF what the place
