If a boy was born it was either killed or sent to his father. The girls had their right breasts burned off that they might | better draw the bow. With the Amazons, fishting was more or less a pastime. With the women of today, fighting on the field of battle would by accentuated by a higher ideal: The civilized woman would fight for her home, her coun- try. So while there can be little com- parison between the fighting propen- sities of women today and those of yesterday, this much can be said: Whether women go to war or not, | they suffer the brunt of all battlc fought. Some poet has well said: “He | who goes to battle is indeed brave; | but she who stays at home fs brav- | er” In the present colossal struggle be- tween the great powers of Europe the women of the entire world are tak- ing a hand. Women in every nation, are giving their mite to stay the ter- rible hand of war. With the wonder- ful organization of the Red Cross this work goes on in a quiet, system- atic manner, without any of the frills and furbelows that geherally dis- tinguishes such efforts. Hardly a city, town, or hamlet in the entire United States but can show several women who are interested in the great European war in a purely hu- manitarian way, favoring neither one side nor the other. Have Decper Interest. Then there are the women in this country who have a deeper interest in the fray- They are the ones who have relatives on the firing line. All these women have banded themselves into one great silent organization and are working toward the same end—thc alleviation ‘of suffering- American women married to men of foreign birth and American wom- en who are abroad and cannot gst home are also doing great work in organizing societies for various and sundry objects, but all with the samec end in view—relief, The wife of the German Ambassador, the Countess von Bernstorff, who was in Europe | when the war bLroke out, refused to return to this country, with her hus- band,. saying that she K was needed | more in Germany. She has devoted | herself to taking care of the wound- ed. The wives of the Russiagn and French Ambassadors, Mme. Bakhme- eff and Mme.

Jusserand, wife of the French ambassadcr, is also a native-born Am- erican, Boston being her birthplace, and through her many social connec- tions all over the country she has had remarkable success. But it is not money alone that Mme. Jusserand is collecting. A French seamstress in New York sent her a piece of necedle- work to be used for some French suf- ferer. The seainstress offered her ser- vices In making any’ articles of cloti- ing which would be necessary for the French wounded. From this idea Mme. Jusserand devised a system by which nearly 1,000 seamstresses in this coun- try are making garments for the French. Mme, Havenith Active. While the wives of the Russian, French and German ambassadors are seeing that their husbands’ people } abroad are being taken care of, the wife of the Beigian ambassador, Mme. Havenith, is sparing neither time nor meney in looking after the people of | Belgium, who perhaps suffered great- er than any cther people affected by the war. Mme, Havenith is also an American girl, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles M. Ffoulke, and upon the oc- casion of her debut in soclety, was considered onc of the handsomest belles of the season. She but recent- ly returned to the legation and has already tnapped out several different schemes for the allevation of suffer- ing among the Belgian peasantry. The devotion of the women is one of the redeeming features of any war. The following beautiful story shows the devotion of the women of Weins- berg: In 1840 a battle was fought be- tween the Iimperor Konrad III and | Welf, brother of Heinrich the Proud, | at the foot of Weinsberg, a - hill crowned with a castle on the banks of the Neckar. Konrad was victor, and he beseiged the castle until those within surrendered. All the men were to be made pris- oners; but the women were to go away in peace, with as much of their ireasure as each could carry. The entire army of Konrad was drawn up o as to leave the ladies pass without hindrance, the emperor at the head of his troops, when such a wonderful procession came down the hill that the warriors were amazed. Each womaa carried on her back her greatest trensure—nusband, son, fath- or, or|brother. Many of the officers in Konrad's ar- my were angry at this, calling it a trick; but the old emperor was Daily Fashion Talks BY.

The amount of pain he suffered was one of the im- portant symptoms, and the doctor and nurse were continually asking him how much pain he had. “Confound it,” he would say, after trying to analyze and measure and weigh his pain, “I don’t know exactly how nmwuch. I don't know whether youwd call it a pain or a discomfort toda I wish there were some way you could find out for yourself same as you find out my temperature. You weuldn't want to depend for that on asking me how hot I felt, wou'!d you, and I can't tell you about the pain any.more accurately.” J No One Can Know What Another Suffers, It is a strange and interesting thought that no person know anything about the pain another suffers. Perhaps we all have different measures of pain. Perhaps what your neighbor calls a terrible headache you would consider a mere passing dis- comfert not worth mentioning. Or contrariwise, perhaps what he calls .. slight pain you call the doctar for. How Do We Know hat He Iias To Bear? Sometimes we say that this person or that does not bear pain How do we know? Hew do we know what he has to bear? someone makes a terrible fuss over a little pain. it is a little pain? can possibly well. We say How do we know that No One Can Feel Another’s Pain. The incommunicability of pain is samething I have often marvelled over. Someone you love is suffering intensely; you sit close beside him; you hold his hand in yours; but the pain is as far away from you as if you were on the other side of the sun. Of course that is natural and inevi- table, yet sometimes doesn't it seem marvellous to you that two can be so close in heart and body and one suffer so intensely and the other be per- fectly free from that pain? It is simply part of the eternal isolation of mind and soul, to which, in spite of all our loves and our intimacies, we are all condemned.
