New Woman's World
In Making Over There

her pen name of Inei Hayncs Gllmore, ia

prior to the war. She accompanied her

two year. She has visited both the
French and the Italian fighting lones. Her
last "trip to the French front took her over
much of the present fighting terrain. She
has made a careful study of social con
ditions in All.cd countries.)
Whenever I think of the women of
England in this war a picture flashes
into my mind. We were walking
down the Strand one Monday morn
ing. The Strand is one of the
most crowded thoroughfares in the
world more crowded, perhars, than
lower Broadway. Coming Toward
us, out of the great mass of vehicles,
was a motor truck so enormous that
it looked like an apartment house on
wheels. And at the wheel was a
little slip of a blue-eyed, rosy-cheeked
' English girl in a pink smock and a
bie hat
The English women were probably
better prepared for this war than
any other women in the world. For,
long before there was any votes for
women movement in England, Eng
lish .women were accustomed to ac
company their politician husbands
on electioneering 'trips and often to
speak for them. Always the English
women of the upper class have had
an , enormous sense of responsibility
toward those economically less for
tunate than themselves. For genera
tions they have been, organized in
philanthropic work. They have
known how to co-operate. In the
last twenty ye.ars the votes for
women movement completed the
work for national organization. So
that when the war broke out the
English government found ready to
its hand an efficient machine made
up of many of the women of Eng
land. I have no words or phrases to
describe how magnificent the women
of England are.
A Whole Sex Mobilized.
In England, more than anwhere
else, you get the impression of ; a
whole woman sex mobilized behind
thevmen. And there are more women
lin the English war zone than any
other. With their alert, active
fieures and their intelligent, weather
"brown faces in their slim, trim khaki
they seem like a race of Amazons.
Last August the English papers
warned the English -women to be
prepared to volunteer for work in
France to the number of 30,000 a
month. These Tommy-Waacks, as
they call them, are working at every
conceivable thing to which the lim
ited woman's strength can be brought
anything that will release men for
JJij. trenches.
lairing the first part of the war
whenever I put the question to Eng
lish, officers, "Are you going to en
franchise your women alter uus war
is over?" They always answered,
'Before it is over. Our women have
keen magnificent." And, in fact,
England stopped midway in the war
to give its women the franchise.
England did this as a war measure
for by so doing she released the en
tire strength of their women citizens
for war work.
Whenever I think of the French
women in the war I see this picture:
A tig room in a munitions factory
with women operating strange ma
chinery almost as far as the eye can
teach. Near, a tall robust olive-dark
trirL wraDoed in a huge grease-
stained apron, her arms bare to the
" shoulders and covered with machine
grease to the elbows, working like
. lightning. , She is lifting weights
heavier than I would have thought
any. woman could lift. She is dirty
and. perspiring as perfect a symbol
of hard work as any man machinist.
But her hair the glory of the French
woman always is marcelled, curled,
coiled, studded with hairpins, and
hedged, with brilliant side combs.
Heroic Grease-Stained Girl.
' 'The French artists have flooded
France with idealistic pictures of
women in this war. Slender, delicate
creatures with floating- hair, their
bodies draped in the tricolor, they are
eternally leading the troops to victory.
They are floating in the air above the
soldiers' heads, or appearing as vis
ions to the dying in the battle field,
or bearing their souls to paradise. I
- am always hoping that some French
- artist, will see the symbolic value of
those perspteing grease-stained girls
working in the munitions factories,
that some time a medal with such a
scene on it will be struck off.
When we consider the French
- woman in this war we come upon
changes so great and so many that it.
almost impossible to catalogue
them. iThe French novel perfectly
oortraved the French woman of the
prewar period. She, was distin
guished by a kind of perfected femin
inity. -tShe was exquisitely dressed,
socially both 'changing and clever
' an individualist and she lived an in
dividual life, meager, of course, but
characterized by a great superficial
beauty,' But it ended soon as far as
society was concerned. There is an
M FrnrJfsavinp- that "Friendship
' between women is only a cessation of
hostilities." And perhaps feminine
France of the years previous to 1914
is to some degree summed up in that
phrase.'- ,
Madame Was Boss.
"Jnrn tne pfasant women were like
the peasant women all over the world.
They worked quite as hard as the men
and sometimes at the very things that
the mill did. But as a sex they did
not express themselves at all. The
middle class French women of tht
period were, however, practically
speaking, more feministic than any
other women in the world. That is to
say, the French woman of the bour
geois class was always the partner,
whenever it was possible, in her hus
band's business. If they kept a cafe,
- for instance, he was cook or waiter,
and she sat in the cashier's desk.
There could never be any difference
- of opinion in observers., as to who
was boss. . Madame held that enviable
position. The leisure class women
of that same remote period lived, as
far as i feministic activities are con-
, eerned, in a kind of incredible social
loneliness. The young girl of France
had none of the liberties that the
-yming. English girl or ,the young
American girl takes as heir right She
,was kept qtuetJ'ymfefcomej and in due
;T i ', ; " . v 1',-,' "C ; V,.' .... .,
time, in case she had a dot, she was
married to a young man picked out
for her by her parents. Marriage
alone released her abilities and effi
ciencies. Even then she lived entirely
in her family and her husband. His
career became her career, his game
her game, and to the furtherance of
his future she brought all that she
had of charm, social training, power
to influence people and intelligent am
bition. , Those prewar French women,
many French novels to the contrary
notwithstanding, made perfect wives
and mothers. But they ended there.
They had apparently no social vision,
no sense of responsibility '.o their
sex or to society. Each was a pirajte
craft. They stayed in the home per
fectly content never to leave it, except
only as the social game required it.
French Women Changed Utterly,
The war has changed all that-
changed it completely and changed it
forever. The French woman has
never been the same since August,
1914, and she will never be the same
again. Those peasant women, for
instance, who only co-operated with
their husbands to run the
farms, are now running them all alone
running them with an enormous in
terest in the work, and running them,
it is whispered, in some cases with
more progressive ideas than were ever
brought to the task before. All over
France are little farming communities,
which are as much governed by wo
men as though the other sex had en
tirely disappeared from the world.
And, indeed, that other sex has dis
appeared from- their peaceful agricul
tural world. They have been swal
lowed by that cruel world of the
trenches, which, alas, often keeps
them for eternity.
The middle class women also are
not only helping to run the business
in which they acted as partners be
fore the war, but they are often run
nincr it alone. In addition, thev are
douig all kinds of things that have
never before been done by women in
France. x . ,
Everybody knows because our
newspapers are filled with pictures of
them that they serve as conductors
on trams and trains, as bus drivers
and taxi drivers, as starters, elevator
girls and farmerettes; but they have
also invaded the factories, the depart
ment stores, and the banks, not only
as workers, but as governing powers.
Have Become Cosmopolitan.
Then, too, perhaps the French
women have been thrown into contact
with more foreigners than any other
nation. Offhand it would be difficult
to count the number of countries rep
resented by soldiers in France. I re
member that in the 14th of July pro
cession in Paris in 1916 representa
tives of 14 countries marched, and
that was before we, had come into the
war. This influx of the youth of al
most a score of countries has forced
French women to open their doors to
multitudes of strangers. It has helped
to break down that cherished seclu
sion of the young girl. It has brought
her into contact with all kinds of
minds and all kinds of ideas. Inevit
ably, it seems to me, after this war is
over, that seclusion of the' young girl
will become a thing of the past. In
evitably the dot system will go with
it. Inevitably freedom of all kinds
will come to the French woman. How
soon she will demand the ballot no
body knows, but it seems to me to be
only a question of time before her.fine
French intelligence will teach her tha,t
before you can enter the house of so
cial freedom you must possess your
self of its key.
Forced to Organize.
As for the leisure-class women, an
enormous burden has been placed up
on them. Consider the matter of hos
pitals alone with 100,000 wounded; the
result, perhaps, of the death mills in a
single week, to be taken care of. Not
only have the women had to help meet
this gigantic situation, but they have
had to organize living conditions for
the refugees which have poured first
from Belgium, then from invaded
northern France, through Switzerland
into southern France, and from Serbia.
They have had to provide these people
with food and clothes, with places to
live, with money and with work.
In addition, as war conditions, grew
more stringent, they have had to take
care of the war cripples, the blind, the
undernourished and the tubercular.
This enormous organizing burden did
not come upon them slowly and by
degrees; it came all at once and it kept
coming all of the time. The French
women have had to learn how to or
ganize and then to co-operate; and at
first, it must be admitted, they were
not clever at it. "
But they were nationally character
ized by the fine intelligence of French
culture and they have progressed by
leaps and bounds. They are now uti
lizing every element of their extraor
dinary domestic efficiency in their
public work.
Italy Superb in Defeat.
When I think of the Italian women
in the war I see this picture. I was
in the Italian war zone when the
disaster of last November came. I
fled from Venice with the first refu
gees. We went in the train to Mestre,
where one changes into the train to
Rome. It was 8 o'clock at night and
we should have made immediate con
nections. The station master told us
that the train to Rome was 15 minutes
late. v At the end of -15 minutes he
said it was a half hour late. At the
end of a half hour 4ie said it was an
hour late. Later he admitted he did
not know when it would come. In
the meantime the station was the
scene of the wildest confusion. Trains
were filling with troops with an al
most miraculous quickness and speed
ing north to the endangered line. Civ
ilian population was pouring, into the
station from all the country round. I
was ordered to go into the waiting
room and stay there. I was a' for
eigner and might be a spy. In that
moment of awful stress the Italian au
thorities were taking no chances.
Near me in the station sat a little
Italian mother, refugee, surrounded
by babies and bundles. One little boy
lay in her arns asleep; a second lay
at one side asleep; a third lay at the
other side asleep! a fourth lay on a
near bench, asleen. How would she,
alone, take care of alt of those babies
and ail of those bundles in her.- flight
to the south, Jor she was little, frail
and delicate? Yet somehow she has
come to symbolize all Italy to me
Italy staggering under enormous bur
dens, yet patient, watchful, resolved,
ready to meet any situation.
And so the Italian woman, perhaps,
naturally less feministic than either
the French or the English woman,
has been forced into all kinds of war
work that has taken her out of the
home. The Russian woman has had
an extraordinary careen, in this war.
Sh'e even organized that world-famous
Battalion of Death. But for
years before this war the Russian
woman has been working with the
Russian man to bring about the
revolution. They have long played so
heroic a part in their national affairs
that many people put them for abil
ity first among the women of Europe.
War Crushes Women, Too.
Out of the nearly 12,000.000 who
have died since 1914 over a half mil
lion have been women, and as the di
rect result of war activities. These
include the Armenian women who
were masacred by the Turks, Serbian
women killed .by the Austrians, civil
ian women who died in Belgium and.
northern France, army nurses, women
workers in munition factories and
civilian women living close to or
within the war zone, women killed in
Zeppelin and aeroplane raids and on
the water by submarines.
War, as it is waged today, is waged
against women as well as against men.
and by women as well as by men; and
the women have risen to their oppor
tunity. They are fighting this war in
a different way, but quite as hard as
the men are fighting it. The result
of the war will turn Europe into 'a
woman's world. It is a heart-breaking
truth, but it is a truth, that so
many men have been killed that the
women of Europe must be not only
the women of Europe for a genera
tion or two, but they must be the men
of Europe.
In Lyons they told us that in order
ing machinery from America manufac
turers said: "Make everything smaller
and lighter than in the past, for in
the future women must work these
machines." That detail, perhaps more
strongly than any other, points out
the new duties that women must take
upon themselves fhe moment peace
is declared.
File Clerks in Demand.
, File clerks are needed by the gov
ernment, salaries $1,000 to $1,200 a
year. Both men and women are eli
gible. Examinations will take place
July 10. Applicants must have had
at least a year's experience, or must
have done filing work m connection
with other office work for at least
two years.
Nurses, both men and women, will
be examined July 19 for Panama Ca
nai service. Men s salaries range
from $95 to $125 a month and wo
men's from $85 to $100.
White Serge Eton
By GERTRUDE BERESFORD.
TI7HITE serge Etons are popular
for seashore and mountains.
Sometimes the Eton is made of a bril
liant shade of rose or blue and col
lared in white serge or gabardine, and
worn with a white skirt. This model
of white gabardine wears an unusual
collar of navy and "white striped silk.
The vest of charmeuse satin is
crossed by blue silk cord, which holds
the Eton under two pearl buttons.
With a white silk sports shirt is worn
a navy blue tie. A sailor hat of the
same popular shade of blue is a fit
ting finish for this extremely smart
suit. The skirt is cut with a tunic at
sides and lack. If this suit is made
up with white collar and cuffs, i a va
riety of waistcoats in stripe or plain
rose, or blue charmeuse, worn with
a hat and parasol to match, will, be
a distinctly novel touch. v ' '
