Yet the older women are every bit as important to Britain's war effort as the younger women in uniform.
 War has almost completely dis- rupted English family life. Women have not only seen their men go but their children and often even their homes. The task of picking up the pieces and starting fn again to build home Is an undertaking that calls for a great deal of cour- age-particularly for a woman over 50.

days respite from their children which time they can use either to rest or take care of other household tasks.
 There are, of course, countless older women who have still one or several members of their family to care for. For the women who stays at home, added to the ordinary household duties are the wartime worries of catering - which Is no snap.
 Her chief worry Is to be able to serve meals which will sustain as well as cheer her family, and every ounce of her ingenuity Is called in- to play. In many cases, this Is en- tirely new venture. Many women In the past have had one or two maids, whereas now It's up to them alone to do their share.
 One lesson they have learned by now is that serving Q good meal does as much towards helping mos rale as towards aiding health.
 The Womans Voluntary Service, with units in everytown and village of every size, offers all manner of opportunities for older women whose entire time Is not taken up with household duties.

A GARDEN

garden is lovely thing, Large or very small Some have acres skillfully handicapped To wild roses on an old stone wall Flowers planted round pool Iris and lilies fair, A careless beauty 1t would seem That can only be achieved with care. A garden is a lovely thing, From sweet garden pinks to phlox But in circumscribed two by four There Is satisfaction in one geranium box.
