at a picnic the other day it was one of those very hot sticky g days when there was not a breath of air and a musty odor floated into city streets from cellar gratings and open doors a friend call ed to suggest a picnic there would be eight of us and we would lunch in a shady woods and have a dip at a nearby beach before returning home we found a shaded hilltop an ideal spot with a table and benches in just the right place to catch a bit of breeze from the lake our lunch was very simple the most cooling things we could think of sandwiches sliced tomatoes hardboiled eggs peaches and iced coffee from a tall thermos when it was over we lounged about in lazy fashion and a good old gossip was in the making when one girl started fishing in her purse for a darning needle she needed it to splice the wool for a pair of flocks for her soldier she couldn t find it finally she dumped every thing out she decided she might just as well houseclean her purse while she was about the matter what a motley array of things she produced there was a huge key that folded it was for the front door of their home one of those great oak ones many inches thjok they had always intended to get a more modern lock put on but you know how it is there were three handkerchiefs there was a box with a pal of ear rings in it she had intended wearing them at a tea one afternoon and had forgotten and here they were still in her purse everyone laughted when a pair of dice rolled out tjhey had been playing a perfectly harmless parlour game with matches the other evening she explained i have pfbsn- been embarrassed by the things that have been in advertently ejcpcfeed in my own purse but i hadht quite realized that other women mighft carry about with them a quite unexpected assort ment of possessions by this time the rest cd the girls began to get interested out were dumpjg their purses one after the other what a collection what a variety what an unbelievable assembly of articles nearly every one con talned a comb and mirror a compact rouge and lipstick all the things needed for a quick repair job so ha c a ma mos ca a- p o t and in one case three some had a fountain pen and an address hook there were bobbypins hair pins safetypins and just pins but in no purse was a darning needle to be found there were key rings golf tees car tickets ufesavers gum there were theatre stubs ticketsto the symphony ball games and even a ticket by air to another city lucky woman there were cleaners stubs jewellry repair stubs parking stubs there were dri licenses me car to golf clubs and other organizations in one there was a red cross button in another an iojde pin no wonder purses are getting better and bigger every year as we looked around something else would catch the eye a pair of driving gloves a hair net a bandana to wear when it was windy a pair of scissors in almost everyones pur there were letters some were just bills others from friends one sweet young thing had to take a bit of kidding about a bundle of five when she admitted he wrote to her every day and she carried several around with her always several girls had snapshots one a th mote a symbol of her red cross work there were innumerable scraps of paper on which were written shopping lists recipes addresses there were clippings one contained a list of new books another the guest list at a summer hotel in which our fellow picnicker was included we sat and looked at each other then we laughed we were glad there were no men present all our vanities and weakness and foibles exposed by a woman s purse shall ye know her we gathered everything up again we had been cheated of our gossip but our lunch was now digested and we made our way to the beach where soon sounds of splashing and laughter were heard i t t f war service to the utmost of our ability if you could tout stand on a high pinnacle on the southern shore of our motherland and watch english spitfires and hurricanes attacking to the death great hordes of german bombers and fighters as they come across the english channel if you could see planes fall out of the skies like broken birds great barrage balloons fold up like a child s toy one when it is punctured if you could hear the earsplitting explosion of bombs the din of antl aircraft fire the chatter of machine gun blasts if you cpuld see the great geysers of water spouting high in the air as a bomb drops or the sudden bursting into flames of a home or a factory or a mill as an incendiary bomb makes a direct hit if you could but live for a few short hours where
