To be sure we have a bit of giddy fluff that is turned out dally by the mas sense, the hair dresser, the smart dressmaker and the beauty doctor to fcx trot and flirt and Bridge It's way through a utterfly existence. It doesn't even answer to the name of Grandmother however for the 1' V'fl 11 n IT P at ranaraMnn fca- aam lul. staklngly drilled to call it either by It's ,Chri?tlan name or a pet one. Oh where are the Grandmothers of yesterday! The Grandmother of memories and storybooks. In rust ling black silk skirts with a bit of )ld lace at her ivory throat and fall Ing over her Ivory hands. A wee !ace cap on her silver hair and the peace and understanding and love of a double maternity shining in her old young eyes. And I am a old sleuth! I have tracked her to her lair! I have dis covered her In her old time charm end old tlme lace and her habitat In England! American parents take their off spring to the Zoo and to the Mu seum of Natural History to see the Ichthyosaurus. Surely the next stey shrould be to take them to Tendon to show them a Grandmother. You can imaelne the dramatic situation. Llttlp, Robert meeting a lovely white haired old lady In Hyde Park "Oh roothpr what is that?" Mother "That la a Gnndmother. Mv pon."

Little Ro'ert (shuddering) "How levrjhle." He walks slowly .away lookliu back sadly. And there you are!

I know of oie wonderful old gen tlewoman of eighty years. She is erect and entertaining and charm ing and dear. She has had fourteen children and at present four of her sons are In Parliament, two in the Hruse of Lords and two in the House of Commons. This dear old lady has turned her motor over to the wounded soldiers and goes out behind a plodding old Dobbin "because she.thlnks It wick ed to pay the high price for petrol Just for her own selfish comfort. Lin many other ways the is doing I her bit for the war and she is but, one among many. She of course wears one of those sweet little lace 'leaps on her snowy hair and a bon net when she gnM abroad. v To Aniorlrnn ryp.
