HAS THE WAR MADE WOMEN HARDER ?

{BY ELIZABETH EYLEY.

According to the accounts available to-day, the Early Victorian molas'' WAS a fragile young creature, very susceptible in matters of the heart, easily fatigued, and prone to fainting on the slightest provocation

I wonder what she would say if at could see her great granddaughter, the * miss" of to-day? It sae judged from the surface aspect of things, great grandmamina would undoubtedly moura over the present-day girl's loss of femi- ping charmi

What has become of that pretty air of helplessness that was considered in her day such a necessary incentive to mas culine amorousness? Where can one find that docile, unquestioning obedience that marked the dutiful daughter and wife? How is it that the “mish of George tho Fifth's reign knows not the meaning of the word "* vapours "

And, above all, great-grandmamma would ask herself with a shudder, How has it come about that young girls who look just as sweet, just na maidenly, just an attractive as young girls did oven in my day, can read their sweethearta letters telling of battle and bloodshed, and instead of falling into their parents orms in a swoon can go about their daily duties with an added air of pride, and can even write to the one they love and tell him how proud they are of what he has done?"

To great-grandicamme all this would seem to mark the very depths of unscem liness. She would decide that the girl of to-day possesses a hard-cased little shell in place of the tender heart that all properly constructed maidens owned in her day:

But, no I say, great-grandmamma would only be judging from the surface of things.

To the thoughtful student of human nature it certainly has been interesting to listen to the new note that has crept into the conversation of the average girl and woman since the beginning of the

He proceeded to show how India bad in the past two years supplied and kept up to strength large forces in France, and had also sent troops and supplies to Eat Africa, Egypt, Mesopotamia, Muscat, and Aden. She had also to maintain troops on the frontiers and conduct certain important operations there. The Indian Army had proved to be a great Imperial naset, and the strain on the country had been a heavy one. For instance, 8,600 combatant officers had been withdrawn from Indin, and, in order to replace these, the Indian Army Reserve of Officers had been raised from 40 to 2,000.

Recruiting had been excellent, the num- bor of recruits since the opening of the war having exceeded the entire strength of the Indian Army as it existed August Tot, 1914. The expansion in mili- tary transport was equally good. Bix- teen new corps or cadres had been formed. The Indian Mazine had done splendid work; 771 vessels had been chartered and fitted as transports, while 73 steamers and many emailer craft had been purchasul- for Mesopotamia.
