"Business as Usual"—Thanks to the Women.
There is no time in war tor the Kingslcy sentiment, "For men must work and women must weep." Everybody must be up and doing if the Hun is to be beaten, and no one realises this better than the women of Great Britain, as these interesting pictures show. Photograph No. 1 is of a determined old soul who was snapshotted pushing her milk barrow along Piccadilly. No. 2—Miss Christie Childs, who. unaided, controls the station at Wilton Park on the Great Central Railway. No. 3—Miss Lee looking after the shop of her father, a Barnstaple butcher, most of whose men are in Flanders. No. 4—Mrs Pankhurst (in the light coat) and some others of the "fighting suffragettes," who waited on Mr Lloyd George and urged that women be taken on for making munitions of war. No. s—Lady Cowdray (in the centre) inspecting the women's dairy instruction school she bad installed at her place in Carlton House right in the heart of fashionable London. The first and third photographs arc by the Photopress the others by the Central Press.
