PLAYING BIG SISTER TO THE WOUNDED.

‘‘Everylady’s Journal,” as a woman’s magazine, cpncems itself mostly with home interest, and wisely reduces the,amount of reading matter ’about the [war to the lowest possible limit. But in the August issue, for example, we lind a fine series of. brief jrt’cles by promimut people'like the Hon. Arthur Robinson, M.L.U , and Miss Beatrice Day, the well known actress, on the subject of how we may best help the returned soldiers. The consensus of opinion is that, while we must avoid foolish methods that would simply spoil our men, we must strain every fibre of 'Onr being to repay these galleut follows tho debt we undoubtedly owe them. The war again is affecting, or wiil affect, the finances of all of us. “Everylady’s Journal” continues to publish its useful articles on my. Profitable Home Industries for Women, and various ways and means of buying and spending with econoWe should think a first economy for any housewife is to get this magazine for its many cash-saving facts. One item which would alone make the August issue of ‘ ‘Everylady’s Journal” worth its price is a beautiful cake-doyley to be worked in crochet, and specially arranged by Mary Card—the design consisting of the French national surrounded by Gordeon’s famous lines; ‘‘Life is mostly froth and bubble, Two things stand like stone: Kindness in another’s trouble. Courage in our own.” Add to these features several free patterns and many fashion designs, and it may he said that the current issue of “Everylady’s Journal” makes a spendid magazine for the woman -.in the home. If unobtainable locally, 3s 6d sent to T. Shaw Fitchett, 376 Swanston Street, Melbourne, will bring it by post for six months.
