HOW SOLDIERS' WIVES LIVE

"Everybody's Journal," the magazine par excellence for the women of Australia and New Zealand, is catering magnificently for its readers in these times of war. The November issue, just to hand, is the third of its Special War Numbers, and establishes its claim to be called the best to date. The special war material in ''Everylady's Journal " begins with a little cluster of interviews with returned Australian girls arid articles from London correspondents, \fnieh describe vividly the state of excitement into which England was thrown by the outbreak, of war. Amongst, other very interesting articles by (.■'■'• ■» *■ wnmcii writers, Lady Helen Munro-Ferguson; iigad of...the Red Cross Society, explains, m an interview, what goods are still required. W. A. Somerset supplies a descriptive sketch of the Australian troops inarching through the streets, illustrated with a couple of remarkable photographs. Military affairs, however, do not monopolise the space in November "Everylady's Journal," for the usual fashion and domestic departments are very strongly maintained, the dominant note being practical economy. Free patterns are, as usual, available. It is worth noting that, whilst, the price of all English and foreign magazines has been raised, that of " Everylady's Journal " remains at sixpence, and the size has not been curtailed by a single page.
