WITH WOMEN
OF TODAY
Rev. R. J. Campbell, a famous
English clergyman, said in a re
cent sermon:
‘Masculine women never will
save the world from the waste
and deviltry of war and the bad
passions which lead into war
and which today are probably
more prevalent than they were
on the day of the signing of the
armistice. I know women who
naturally are charming^dbut who
delude themselves into thinking
that it is admirable to drink too
much, to smoke too much and
to swear constantly, I never
knew a woman who did that who
did that who didn’t get the worst
of it.
a Princess Mary of England
(Lary Lascelles) is determined
that her babies shall have the best
that modern science can achieve.
Recently she was seen shopping
incognito in the nursery depart
ment of a huge London shop.
It is said that the Russian So
viet government has ordered wo
men to wear their dresses low at
the bottom and high at the top.
Sleeves must reach within four
inches of the wrist joint, skirts
must come to within four inches/
of the ground, and women must
not sit with their legs crossed in(
public places.
Nurses are scarce in Great
Britain and the cause is said to
be that women are offered more
money to enter business lines.
HOBSON’S CHOICE.
An easterner, on a business trip
in the west, stopped at a country
hotel. He entered the dining room
and was shown to a table by a
rather eccentric looking waiter.

sir?” asked the waiter, as he
brought the customary glass of
