RENAISSANCE of romance is coming—has come—for women. That is an important part of the aftermath of war. Any talk of | an industr struggle between the sexes {s nonsense. To the girl at home, job or no job, the returned soldier is @ hero. For four yeurs she has been thinking of him in that way, and she will keep right on—for a time, at any rate. There will be more marriages than ever, particularly marriages between young persons. And of course that will be a fine thing for the nations.” Kathleen Burke, war girl, is speaking; Kathleen Burke, descendant of Edmund, and the’ first woman Ww enter the fortress of Verdun; the “thousand-dollar-aday girl, Who raised that sum every twenty-four hours over a period of months for the Scottish Women’s Hospitals; | the wearer of five medals for distinguished service on four fronts, includ- | tag the cross of a Commander of the British Empire; the Honorary Colonel @t our own 138th Field Artillery, U. 8.

During the war, you know, the soldier sald, rather bitterly, to the workman, ‘You get pald five pounds a day for mak- ing shells, and I get paid five cents a day for stopping them.’ Then I asked Miss Burke if the in- dustrial situation was being compli- cated by women workers, and she spoke enthusiastically of the new ro- mance war has woven among men | member of the royal family.
