The war hns wrought great changes' upon the occupations, vocational and otherwise, of the women of Kngland. A picture of the new order of things was Riven recently by Margaret Bell, writing in the London Dally Mall. She says : "Boarding houses are full today, hut the alms and conversations have taken on a different tone. The uncertain lyears arc disguised under a uniform, tlie Incomes are augmented by war activities, the trivial gossip has turned into serious discussions on the ways nnd means to do the utmost for tlie country In Its present need. ' "The 'society' butterfly of the past has become the.? national bee of the present, nnd busily hums her way I (among fields of service which are not lulways fields of clover.

' "Rone are the grandmothers who ,once assumed the role of elderly nd- Ivlscr and were content to leave actual .practicalities to the married daughter. :The one-time gray satin or black lace ihas found a temporary haven on some obscure shelf, and the overalls nnd veil of a sewing sisterhood arc sufll- icient evidence that granny's present j role Is not only an advisory one. , i "The shy 'flapper.' with errant pig-, italls and a keen appreciation of choco- j lute Ice cream sodas hns given way to tthe alert .young woman who beguiles! shillings for charitable purposes andj , evinces practical Interest In the rou-j tine of house nnd kitchen maiding. j ' "The woman of no especial charm jnnd limited menns. whose hours were 'snont in nlannlnir how to make laeeed ' L.,t .,.,.- .,, f1...1c Hmn tn nti.A ll.r, ibenefit of her experience to unfledged Ihousewlves who ore launching their i first barques on the sea of domestic duties. ' Discards Her Lethargy. "The struggling governess still .struggles, but the rays of her pedagog ical searching are not all focused on iher own work. On days when she Is 'not employed In others' houses she 'does gratuitous service among the workwomen's children who play In the jgutters outside her home, "The war has transformed the lethnrglc woman who never left her Iboudolr until the sound of the lunch con gong came pealing up the stairs 'nnd announced that her first activities were about to begin. She has discard ed her lethargy, as she used to discard lier last season's hat, and may be seen any morning hurrying nway to some office or canteen, even before the milk-1 ninlds' carts have left the streets.

Wrangling Over Election of Successor ; . to Late Ruler, They Adjourn With out Making Choice. Berkeley, Cal. The Gypsy world has a new potentate. He Is President Woodrow Wilson. To him flrteen hun dred representatives of the wandering tribes have pledged their fealty. Assembled to elect a king, they have split up Into factions and are wrangling over the candidate who shall succeed his late Majesty Alexander, who died several months ago at Sacramento. But while undecided ns to whom they should choose to pledge their al legiance, the Gypsy delegates are unit ed in tlie admission that no matter how strong may be their attachment to kingly rule, they and their sovereign tenis, started their automobiles, "checked out" at their hotels nnd purled.

Women proved better war-time substitutes for man skilled In sliopwork than tbe average untrained male laborer, according to P.. 11. Potter, general storekeeper for the Southern I'uclllc company. Exper iments with eight young women put at work sorting scrap Irou, cleaning bolls and familiarising themselves with sim ple machinery have convinced Potter that should further raids be made upon his forces he will be able to keep going on an efllclent basis by employing women. 1 tnnst bow to the president of the Unit ed States. " In automobiles, In Pullman palace cars, In buggies and wagons and old "prairie schooners" the Gypsies came from all parts of the country. For weeks they have been loitering jn northern California. Queen Mary, widow of the late king, objected to the balloting for his SUC' censor, claiming that she wns entitled to rule. The necessity for having n male hand at Hie helm wns pointed out. Then there arose Michael Adams, sixteen-year-old nephew of the de ceased sovereign, but the leaders pro claimed Mm but a boy. "A man must rule," become theli slogan. "Woman has (he vote. Why should woman not reign?" said the queen, -Agreement was Impossible, and the Gypsies decided that there could be no lawful selection of a new ruler un til the body of good King Alexander should repose In un appropriate muuso li'tiin.
