WOMEN LIKE BOYS.

e TR AY. ATUBUTHNOT LANE AND "FOOLISH” PRACTICE

"Look after yourself as you would look after your motor cycle. bee that every gear of your body is running well.” .. This was tho advice ot Sir .W n _ liani Arbutlinot Lane, the surgeon at tho opening of Warrington Health Week. We did not realise that doctors were our best friends, lie said. AA’e should not let doctors stand at the bottom of the cliff to pick ns up when we were ill. We should, rather, let them stand at the top to tell us to go back. People wept to their doctors only when they had tumbled down the cliff'. , “Consult your doctor frequenly, said Sir Wiliam, “from tho cradle to the grave.” The object of pre-sent-day women should be to look like women, not hoys, as the present conditions seemed to demand. He did not think it was the fault of the women. Unfortunately, owing t. O tlie war, they were, at a disadvantage in that there were top many women. Wc did not know what to do. with them ancl to attract attention thev tried to make themselves look as unlike women as possible. This was foolish.
