rafH ijMtTL Ttey come to Trie Maker of Bandages Red Cross Workers Solve in One Minute the Mystery of the Stony Hearted A dlnmond Is not the hardest thing In tho world. A diamond will cut glass and boro through case burdened, tempered chrome Btocl, but glaBS mid stool tho dlnmond Itself too aro soft compared to somo things. Tho hardest thing In tho world is n hard woinnn. Mrs. Urltt wns such a woman, 1 bnvo secti hard women In my tlmo, but never ouo who was hnrdor. Sho smiled seldom, and when sho smiled It was like tho glitter of ice. Sho spoke Infrequently, and when sho spoko her speech was tho tlnklo of hall on slato roofing. Sho did not look as If sho had over wept In her life. Every morning Mrs. Brltt appeared at tho Red Cross auxiliary In upper Broadway. Sho was the first to nrrlvo In tho morning, tho last to lcavo at night No ono know much about her, though. Sho was not the sort that make confidences. But that sho wns a jworkor a hard workor no ono would Jfllsputo. Efficiency, as you'd supposo, was a trait of Mrs. Brltt'a. Are Efficient Women Hard? Efficiency dreadful word that I How often hard women aro efllclentt How often efficient woman aro hard I Sho was both, Mrs. Brltt Tho moment sho camo in at tho door sho had her hat and Jacket off. Tho noxt Instant sho was at her placo, her mouth sot, grim, hUBtcro nnd hard hard at work. Prob ably sho did her work only from a senso of duty. Hard women always profess tnat trait. Duty, uutyi nut, men, tow women aro as .hard as Mrs. Brltt In contrast to hor was Mrs. Farlow. Sho wns soft and womanly and geutlo tho exact opposite. Sho was not very efllclcnt, of course, though sho tried. Day after day Mrs. Farlow snt nt tho work table, her mouth quiver ing, smiling wistfully, the tears starting In her eyes. Tho bandages that camo from her were often soiled and rum pled, poorly sown, too, by her poor lit tie trembling fingers. It wns a won der Bho could oven see to bow at all 'Again and again what sho turned In had to be thrown away. But no ono reprimanded her. No ono oven lot fall a hint that sho was moro ot n burden than a help. Tho hearts of all those women ached with woman ly pity for tho poor, stricken mother. Onco In awhllo, though, In her corner nt tho back of tho room Mrs. Brltt would turn around and throw a glanco at her. Tho glanco was as hard as rocks harder, In fact Mrs. Farlow had a son In tho Rain bow division. Tho son was tho oldest of her four children, nnd until ho went away tho llttlo mother had been tho happiest woman In the world. Now any day ho might bo ordered off to France.

ISvcry hnlf hour sho would stop her work to look ot It. Sometimes, her faco wistful, sho would show It to the other workers, voicing tho nngulsh that Willi every waking breath she drew twanged hollowly In her mother's heart Ono afternoon Mrs. Fnrlow's oldest daughter camo hurrying In. Her faco was white. Sho hnd just learned that tho Rainbow division hnd been ordered overseas. Mrs. Farlow roso, her faco tragic. Ono glanco sho gave about her, then sho collapsed, sinking to tho floor. In her fall sho overturned a huge pile of antiseptic gauzo Just torn Into squares for Trlangulars No. 13. Tho room Instnntly was In confu sion. Instantly overy ouo sprang to tho mother's aid that Is, overy ono but Mrs. Brltt Sho roso and rescued tho bandages under foot Then, her faco hard as nails, grimly Mrs. Brltt wont back to her work. When Mrs. Farlow, Btlll stricken, wns led away to her car outsido tho drab flguro In tho corner was plugging away as mechan ically and methodically as over. Tho ono glanco sho throw over her shout- dor at the weeping woman was almost contemptuous. A hard woman, Mrs. Brltt; a heart less ono, too, It was agreed. For days nothing was seen at tho auxiliary of Mrs. Farlow. It was un derstood that In tior grief nnd appre hension sho was ill In bed. Then ono afternoon, pnllld and quivering, Bho camo In nt tho door. Sho smiled wist fully when tho others gathered about her. "Lot mo work," sho appealed plaintively. "Work may help mo not to think." Her Dandanes Worthless. Sho took a bandago and tried to bow, Sho mado poor work of It, how ovor. Then hor head sank on tier breast and tho bnndago slipped from hor hands. "I can't oh, I can't I" sho wept Onco moro Bho was led away. Tho sarao thing happened thrco or four days later. A week later tho mother wandered In ngatn. By now tho first of tho troops wcro In tho trenches, and her polo, transparent faco was like n wraith's. Sho took a bandago; sho tried to sow, and for a third tlmo Mrs. Farlow gavo tn. "Oh, my hoy, my boy t" Bho waited. Tho noxt Instant a faco was thrust Into hers. Tho faco was Mrs. Brltt's, and tho hard, bony vlsago wns quiver ing with 111 conccnled anger nnd con tempt "Sit down I Stop Itl" Bald Mrs Brltt With ono hand she thrust Mrs. to "you. . " & Contributed by Frank Godwin. Farlow back on her chnlrj with tho other sho thrust at her tho half fin ished bnndago. Her tono as grim as her face, she spoko, and again tho sound of It was like hall pattering on Blate. "You'ro not thinking of your son," sho said. "You'ro Just thinking of yourself I" Thero wns a murmur of remon strance. Mrs. Brltt henrd it. nnd sho flashed a look about her. But when she spoke again it was to Mrs. Farlow sho spoke. Think of Your Son. "You'ro not tho only mother In this wnr," sho said. "If you thought a llt tlo moro about them nnd a llttlo less about yourself you'd bo doing some thing. You d bo helping your son. for ono thing 1" "Why, what do you mean?" gasped Mrs. Farlow. Mrs. Brltt smiled another adamant Icy smile. Your son wouldn't dlo for want of care. Any ono of those bandages Tvo scon you ruin might save his Ufo. Any ono of them might Eave tho Ufo of some other mother's son I" Mrs. Farlow shrank aa If Bho had been struck. She'd never thought of It tnnt way beroro. Tho sllenco, tho grim reserve, which had cloaked Mrs. Brltt seemed for a moment to quit her. "I havo no Bon." Bho said, her flinty votco biting out tho words, "i nnd ono, but ho died nt Guantnnamo. It was tn tho Spanish war," snapped Mrs. Brltt "and thero woro no bandages nothing. That's why ho died. That's why I'm hero now, It's to keep other womon moth ers from becoming tho sort of woman I am." A harsh, brtttlo laugh escaped hor. "Oh, I know what you think of mo. I'vo heard what you snld. Well, Bald Mrs. Brltt, "my son wouldn't havo died Uko thnt ronybo If I hadn't sat around Bnlflllng nnd snuffling, novor doing a thing." Then, her Hps drawn Into a bony smile, sho glanced about her once moro and stalked back to her placo In tho cornor. That night Mrs. Farlow roso from her plnco at tho bnndago tabto and sought tho tablo at tho back. For tho first tlmo that day Mrs. Farlow had managed to crento half a dozen band ages, nono of which had to bo thrown away. Timidly sho held out a hand to tho drab, dingy flguro In tho comer. "I I'vo dono hotter today," sho sold timidly. Mrs. Brltt looked up at her. Out of the corner of ono glnssy oyo something welled, then fell, running slowly down her cheek.
