WOMAN'S WORLD

(Continued from . Page 2) i A Clearer Understanding. A series of articles in the French papers lately has allowed the French people to know a little more of what England is doing in the war, but tho knowledge is oven yet very slight among the masses (states the Paris correspondent of the "Queen"). In tho first place, the articlos chiefly come out in papers whicli the masses do not read, and, again, for the masses to read an artielo and understand it thoroughly it has to-be written with a certain amount of emphasis, and truths have to be repeated. The question of repetition is quite a big one, as it is undoubtedly true that French people have, to be told the same thing many times before they believe it. To say a tiling does not prove that you mean it in France, but if you it several times it does. Therefore it is necessary for us to toll the people over and over again that we are doing our share, and are prepared to go on with it. A friend of mine went into her florist's the other day, and was asked "What is England doing?" And slie had to Rive quito a dissertation of the Navy before she could make the florist believe that the Navy had done anything. Wo may think that none of these little people matter, , but they matter a great deal if you live among them, and it is only because they do riot understand that they misjudge, for no part of the French nation is so inclined to love England as the "people"; they belong to the class of '.society, which can appreciate deeds without a decoration of words, and we have.a proof of it in the fact.that 110 .servants' 1 are happier or more faithful than , those: who serve English mistresses. . ;'

The wedding took place at Masterton yesterday _in St. Patrick's Church of Miss Katio M'Gown and Mr. Matthew Carroll. The Rev. Father Criiinano performed the ceremony..

It is understood that she wishes to go to the front to _ help to care for the •wounded. She is chiefly engaged at present in learning the dressing of wounds, according to Home papers, and is' Baid to.be very popular with the staff and. patients. / I suppose it is known in Australia that the matron of the Australia Hospital was decorated by King George with the .Royal Red Crass, writes a London correspondent. The nurses were-very delighted ( about it. They gave her a dinner at ! Wimereux in honour of the occasion. Fifty-five people were present, among them all the most notable men and women associated with the hospital.
