"A TIME TO TRY"
The Duchess of York made a public speech recently. Her theme was unemployment. It is a rare event for ladies of the Royal Family to speak in public, and the Duchess' words were followed with close attention by hundreds of girls and women. " A trying time is the time to try " was the keynote of her address at Kingsway Flail to the Too H League of Women Helpers. Other points were: " A new problem for the civilised world has arisen suddenly—the problem of enforced leisure. " Leisure has been called the crowing time of the spirit, but at the present time, looking around at the misery of thwarted energy, it is anything but that. "In certain places by sympathy, brain, and the craftsman's lead enforced idleness has been transformed into well directed leisure." The Duchess urged her hearers to help to transform the " black patches " ot poverty into circles of light and .friendship.
