WARTIME RULES
ADVICE TO WOMEN FOLK. That admirable paper "Home and Country” quotes four rules for the use of ordinary people in war-time, notes Sil' W. Beach Thomas. They are put into the mouth of an old Oxford lady. They survive, I believe, from the last war. but are so good that I cannot forbear to quote them, and I trust they are common property throughout the women's institutes: —"Obey every public order, however silly you think it." "Believe nothing anyone tells you, however wise you think it." "It' your legs shake (as the boldest will at times) eat glucose barley sugar." "When in doubt do anything you would have done if there were no war."
