By Phyllis M. Lovell

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.

Going about during the day, one comes constantly in touch with women who, un- aided by the excitement of direct action, are carry- ing the responsibilities of. British home life. They Jare calmly courageous..
