WOMAN'S WORLD.

SOCIAL AND PERSONAL Britain at Work. , In the course of his talk at the Soldiers' Club in Sydney Street on Saturday evening, Trooper Clutha Mackenzie had a special word to say to the soldiers who had yet to leave for the front. ''One of the great bugbears present in the minds of soldiers leaving for the front," ho said "is the thought that they may lose their sight. It is riot the terrible thing that you may think, not by any means. There is so much that is doco for one now that one need never feel cut off from life, even if they are blinded. Sighted people do not realise how quickly one can roadjust oneself to different conditions."

Another point that was brought outby the speaker was the wonderful way in which .Britain is facing the ivar —the wonderful work she is doing. "Till you so there and see for yourself it cannot be realised. England is wonderful. When Now Zealanders go Home they are rather apt to talk about Now Zealand a lot. i did myself, but Britain is a revelation." Reference to tho work that women had been doing in New Zealand since the war was made by Trooasr Mackenzie, and he spoke of the way in which it was appreciated by tho men Women in this country had not the opportunities for service that the;' had in England, and thcro thero was not a thing they were not doing—even to tarring the roads. Youth and beauty wero laid on the altar of sacrifice and nover grudged. In some of the munition factories the complexions of women and their hair became yellow, and whatever beauty they possessed went after they had been jr. the factories but a.little while.
