■ A diamond Is not the hardest thing
In the world. A diamond will cut
glass and bore through case hardened,
tempered chrome steel, but glass and
steel—the diamond Itself too—are soft
compared to some things. The hardest
thing In the world Is a hard woman.
Mrs. Britt was such a woman.
I have seen hard women In my time,
but never one who was harder. She
smiled seldom, and when she smiled It
was like the glitter of Ice. She spoke
Infrequently, and when she spoke her
speech was the tinkle of hall on slate
roofing. She did not look as If she had
ever wept in her life.
Every morning Mrs. Britt appeared
at the Red Cross uuxlltary In upper
Broadway. She was the first to arrive
In the morning, the lust to leave at
night. No one knew much about her,
though. She was not the sort that
make confidences. But that she was n
worker—a hard worker—no one would
dispute. Efficiency, us you'd suppose,
was a trait of Mrs. Britt's.
Are Efficient Women Hard?
Efficiency—dreadful word thut 1 How
often hard women are efficient! How
often efficient woman nre hard 1 She
wus both, Mrs. Britt. The moment she
came In at the door she hnd her lint
and jneket olT. The next Instant she
was at her place, her mouth set, grim,
austere and linrd—-hard at work. Prob
ably she did her work only from a sense
of duty. Hard women always profess ! derstood thnt in her grief and appre
By MAXIMILIAN FOSTER
Of the Vigilantes.
His picture was in the locket she
wore. Every half hour she would stop
her work to look at It. Sometimes, her
face wistful, she would show It to the
other workers, voicing the anguish that
with every wnking breath she drew
twanged hollowly In her mother's heart.
One afternoon Mrs. Farlow's oldest
daughter came hurrying In. Her face
was white. She had Just learned that
the Rainbow division hnd been ordered
overseas.
Mrs. Farlow rose, her face tragic.
One glance she gnve about her, then
she collapsed, sinking to the floor. In
her fall she overturned a huge pile of
nntlseptlc gauze just torn Into squnres
for Trlungulurs No. 13.
The room Instantly was In confu
sion. Instantly every one sprang to
the mother’s nld—that Is, every one
but Mrs. Britt. She rose und rescued
the bandages under foot. Then, her
face hard ns nails, grimly Mrs. Brit',
went back to her work. When Mrs.
Farlow, still stricken, was led away to
her ear outside the drab figure In the
corner was plugging away us mechan
ically and methodically as ever. The
one glnnce she threw over her shoul
der nt the weeping woman was almost
contemptuous.
A hard woman, Mrs. Britt; a heart
less one, too, It was agreed.
For days nothing was seen at the
auxiliary of Mrs. Farlow. It was un-
thnt trait. Duty, duty! But, then,
few women are as hard ns Mrs. Britt.
In contrnst to her was Mrs. Farlow.
She was soft and womanly and gentle
—the exact opposite. She was not
very efficient, of course, though she
tried. Day nfter day Mrs. Farlow sat
nt the work table, her mouth quiver
ing, smiling wistfully, the tears starting
In her eyes. The hnndages that came
from her were often soiled and rum
pled, poorly sewn, too, by her poor lit
tle trembling flltgers. It was a won-
' der she could even see to sew at all.
Again and again what she turned In
hud to be thrown away.
But no one reprimanded her. No one
even let fall a hint thnt she was more
henslon she was 111 In bed. Then one
afternoon, pallid and quivering, she
cmne in nt the door. She smiled wist
fully when the others gathered about
her. "Let me work,” she appealed
plaintively. "Work may help me not
to think."
Her Bandages Worthless.
She took a bandage and tried to
sew. She made poor work of It, how
ever. Then her head sank on her
breast nnd the bandage slipped from
her hands. “I can’t—oh, I can’t I" she
wept.
Once more she was led away,
The same thing happened three or
Farlow back on her chair; with the
other she thrust at her the half fin
ished bandage. Her tone us grim ns
her face, she spoke, and ngnln the
sound of it was like hnil pattering on
slate. “You’re not thinking of your
son," she said. "You're Just thinking
of yourself 1”
There was n murmur of remon
strance. Mrs. Britt heard It, and she
flashed a look about her. But when
she spoke uguln it was to Mrs. Farlow
she spoke.
Think of Your Son.
“You’re not the only mother In this
war,” she said, "If you thought a lit
tle more about them and a little less
about yourself you’d he doing some
thing. Tou'd be helping your son, for
one thing 1”
“Why, whut do you mean?" gasped
Mrs. Farlow.
Mrs. Britt smiled another adniqant,
ley smile.
“Your son wouldn’t die for want of
fare. Any one of those bandages I’ve
seen you ruin might snve his life. Any
one <5f them might save the life of
some other mother's son 1"
Mrs. Farlow shrank ns If she hnd
been struck. She’d never thought of It
that way before.
The silence, the grim reserve, which
hnd cloaked Mrs. Britt seemed for a
moment to quit her. “I have no son,”
she said, her flinty voice biting out the
words. “I lmd one, but he died nt
Gunntnnnmo. It was in the Spanish
wnr,” snapped Mrs. Britt, "und there
were no bandages—nothing. That’s
why he died. That’s why I’m here
now. It’s to keep other women—moth
ers—from becoming the sort of woman
I »m." A harsh, brittle lough escaped
her. “Oh. I know what you think of
me. I’ve heard what you snld. Weil,"
said Mrs. Britt, “m,v son wouldn’t have
(lied like thnt mnybe If I hadn't sat
around sniffling nnd snuffling, never
doing a thing."
Then, her lips drawn Into a bony
smile, she glanced about her once
more nnd stalked buck to her place In
the corner.
That night Mrs. Fnrlow rose from
her place nt the bandage tnhle nnd
sought the table nt the hack. For the
first time thnt day Mrs. Farlow had
four days later. A week Inter the
of n burden thnn a help. The heartsj mother wandered In lignin. By now
of all those women ached with woman-1 the first of the troops were In the j managed to create half a dozen hnnd-

Once In awhile, though, In her corner! face was like a wraith’s. She took a
at the back of the room Mrs. Ilrltt ‘ bandage; she tried to sew, and for a
would turn around and throw a glance] third time Mrs. Farlow gave In.
“Oh, my boy, my boy!" she walled.
The next Instant n face was thrust
Into hers. The face was Mrs. Britt's,
nnd the hard, bony visage was quiver
ing with 111 concealed anger und con-
