"Last month in London the Red Coss had calls for 7615 cases of supplies. They had but 2812 on hand. . "such is the appalling statement that is made. What is causing women- to slacken their efforts in this fashion? Has the war been so prolonged that what at first was almost a fashionable fad has now become just "uninteresting work"? This can not be. But the truth remains, Red Cross workers need some rousing. However Canada is not the only slacker. From London a correspondent writes: "JiiBt as there are. black sheep in every foid.so there is a certain number of'slackers among the aristocratic war workers���������fair "ones who do just enough nursing or canteen work or munition making or labor on the land to have the rigui to wear the pisturesciuc garb associated with these- industries and to gut their photographs in tlie illnsti.i- ted papers. thiB satisfactorily effoc- . ted, the ������������������enthusiasm of these swankers as they are dubbed by lueir scornful and earnest sisters, soon suffers a perceptible wane and the hospitals, factories anad workrooms that knew them for a brief space know them no more. Such triflers, however, represent the smallest minorities, the thing that chiefly strikes one in connection with the fair ones, titled or otherwise, who are doing lieipfi.l work in connction with tlie war, being the 'determination and dogged- ness with which they stick to it. A good example is pretty and quaintly named Lady Mary Cecilia Rhodesia Hamilton, eldest daughter of the Duke of Abercorn, who has kept on with her munitions work at the pickers works for over a year, in spite of one rather bad accident, and who apparently has not tho slightest notion of quitting." It is interesting to note, by the way, that this lady's engagement has just been announced to Col. Kenyon-Slaney, aide-decamp to the Duke of Devonshire. that the rapidly rising price of food stuffs means that the World's reserve supply is getting small ?
