JAMOⱭ LONDON'S WOMEN CARRY ON

By Phyllis M. Lovell

London.

Life for the London house- wife is made up at the present time of strenuous happenings. Upon her fall the responsibilities of keep- ing the home going, of shopping in haste between the shriek of warning sirens, of making skilled use of those foods which happen to be available when she sallies forth with her basket, of contriving to eliminate all kinds of waste and of saving all paper, bones and metals. She must see to the safety of her family by day, and she must make sure-so far as she is able-that her family sleeps as well as may be by night.
