TWO MINUTES
TN spite of the ten years which have expired since the end of the Great War, the solemnity never seems to depart from that little ceremony' of the "two minutes' silence" which was -started years ago m England and which has gradually spread throughout the world. It is a memorial more dignified and more universal than any concrete monument which can be devised — something which will grow into the history of our race, and make the sacrifice of the "boys" real to those born years after the war has become a memory. Armistice, Day has a special significance to the women of New Zealand. The sacrifice of the men 'who fell m the war was an immediate one; that Of their wives and mothers, an enduring loss. Our deepest sympathy is extended to all those who took part m the stately and tragic functions of the Day of Remembrance.
