The sun shone in 4 sky dappled with clouds, aad a fresh breeze set the flags streaming gallantly from tHe VPP DOVDY SBAEASAS &. { khaki coats, march as flagmaste, snd the pennons fluttered | gully on the cavalrymen's The erowds thronging tue roufe were certainly less dense than in pre-war days, and if there were fewer light= hearted youths to buy the gaily color- ed paper-ribbon whips, = still the whips were there, a delight to the heart of London childhood. Paper handkerchiefs, too, with wonderful orders, and still more wonderful portraits of the King and Queen, wreathed in the folds of crossed Union Jacks, and yards of flimsy Paper with gaudy prints of (he Lord Mayor's coach were displayed to tempt the more sedate purchasers. The route followed this vear was Ehe usual one, from the city by Fleet street, the Strand, Northume berland Avenue, and the embank- ment. Punctually at noon the pro- cession left the Guildhall, headed by mounted city police am# Canadian mounted troops in the place of honor, Next followed men of the | royal maval division; * the royal ma-| rine artillery, the royal marine light infantry, the navy auxiliary service, and the naval volunteer reserve. As | the first strains of the bands sound- | ed down Fleet street office windows flew open and became an animated | gen of heads The wartime office ! staffs, mostly girls, ran down to the | streets, or balanced themselves pre-| cariously on 'window ledges, and | Scrambled to every available point of vantage, Following the boys of the War- spite with thir guns -and crew, and the boys training at the technical school of the royal flying corps, came (wo motor lorries bearing a captured German aeroplane, the new well-known black crosses show- ing conspicuously on the wings. Be. hind the monster marched a sturdy contingent of 'city volunteers, men for the most part whose Volunteer- ing days were long since passed, but who once more had donned a uni- form and shouldered a rifle in their country's hour of need. Behind them swung cadets, followed by hoy scouts, their gay scarfs adding a brilliant touch of color to the procession. To most people, however, by far the most significant part of the Lord Mayor's show were the women. For the first time that.day they had been ineluded in the procession and had taken their places in the "marching ranks with the men. With one voice the crowd cheered, and cheered again a8 a battalion of women agricultural workers, carrying rakes and milking Stools and leading a team of horses attached to a haycart, swung into view, their trim white counts shining in the sun, With an #asy stride they march along dnd mavy heads turned instinctively to watch them out of sight, Lorries of laughing women munitien workers followed, the girls blithely fluttering gamboge-colored hands---stained with the powder in the filling factories--and ready far a jest and gay word with the crowd who gave the "canaries" a rousing welcome, Field guns, strange ob- lances, | jects in their "camounage" war J et A AA a i bary & Practical T FHomé Dress Making|F Lérrons Prepared Specially for This Newspaper By Pictorial Review Phint. and « red Cerman guns 3 be] fates en they had | f gallant Brit. | wonder and Pipers marche of kilts their tartan the wind Still it v cession that and held e 3 women that made « tingent of the lary Corps, women in the Pro- sttention.

Was if worth it this year? Yet London was the better for the show. It had taken on a new and deeper significance Fhe women and men, from all parts of the United King- dom and the great dominions, march- ing together in one vast procession, equipped from emd to end for na- tional service, were earnest of the res solute determination of the whole empire to keep the sword drawn until victory crowned their efforts, And when it was all over London went about its business once more with refreshed hope, and a stronger resolve than ever to see things through to a finish, Women In War Service, The foilowing story presents a new phase of the many-sided war work that English women have been called upon to perform "In London, at midnight, scores of well-known women start away from their homes, each driving her own motor car, end from that hour until «With supreme indifference.

"How many women are thus en- gaged at present I do not know, but a Leys nrpnths ago I was told that sev- hundred were then carrying on this. unusual service," night after night, week after week, month after month, in all kinds of weather, at all seasons; and many of these women belong to the highest families in Eng land.
