MY LADY'S FOOTWOMAN She was fair (sa>s tho "Chronicle"), blooming with health, and neat in her white-cuffed Holland coat. She sat beside tho chauffeuse.. When tho car. stopped outsido a big storo she jumped down dexterously and opened the door with au almost military turn of hand so that my lady might Ttass "out.. When her children ask her in years to come what she did in the War, she will be ahlo to respond, "Oh, yes, darlj'ng, I was a footw>nian.*l used to open the door of the car- fur the duchess. That was my.bit. .. ." ,_' ■ ■ The footwoinaii is making her appearance," riot only in the London streets, but in the country. Here is ono of tho now spheres of "activity" opened to women by the war. It is a genteel occupation, fit for tho tragic class of. companions who cannot find women wanting to he companioned. But to call it war work is humorous. Ono can imagine, nothing more remote from the grim brutality of war or its golden splendour than the calling of tho girl who spends her days in op_en r ing the earriago door or in arranging her grace's rugs.
