T. E. Lawrence. Women in uniform have been much in the public eye lately. No sooner had we begun to grow accustomed, through the various newspapers and films, of trneir presence in England, than we beâ€" gan to grow aware of their appearance here in Canada. Here is in Britain they are appearing in every possible variety of uniform. At first as always, women in uniâ€" form other than nursing sisters, both overseas and in Canada, were regarded as a huge joke. But the heroism of the women of Britain and their assumption that warfare is the concern of women as well as men; their steadiness of nerve and strength of body as well as their quick response to commands or signals are only a few of the qualifications of which the uniform is a symbol. All these characteristics may be preâ€" sent without the unHorm but the prinâ€" cipal of the uniform as a sign of trained service has long been accepted. In times of panic or emergency there is an instinctive impulse to turn to a man or woman in uniform for guidâ€" ance. In the afternoon, the bride and groom left for Parry Sound, where they will take up residence, the bride travelling in a Chillian wine dressmakâ€" er suit, with matching accessories. Prior to her marriage the bride was entertained by Mrs. Thomas Blackâ€" man, Mis. W. W. White, Mrs. Clare Messecar and Mrs. G. McDonald. Now the first call for women to take an active part in the war services has come. The first call came from overseas. It was a call addressed only to women transport drivers who are able to buy their vehicles as well as pay her transâ€" portation overseas and her upkeep in England. Once in England they were expected to join one of the voluntary organizations recognized by the Briâ€" tish Government. The second call for women to take direct share in the war comes from the Canadian Government and calls for a larger number. Mrs. Lyman McFadden, Mrs. W. W. White, Mrs. George Adams, Mrs. C. Brown and Mrs. David Hamilton poured tea, and serving the many guests were Dora Hamilton, Grace Pond, Mary Adams, Mary Baderski, Florence Baderski, Rose Carling, Betty Ostrosâ€" ser, and Mrs. Ted Powers.
