THROUGH THE EYES OF A 
WOMAN 
{Continued from page 102) 
that it would be wise to put a fev shillings by when the 
allowance brought unaccustomed wealth. We discovered 
that our various relations sometimes served in the same 
regiment or ships, which was thrilling in the first degree, 
and sometimes we found that socks and shirts would be 
welcome now that Winter has laid her cold hand upon the 
scene of campaign. " Not much of a Christmas ! " one of 
the women remarked. " I 'oped that it would be all over 
by now." " That there Kyser — I wish I could 'ave a go 
at 'im," chimed in a martial lady with a refractory baby. 
" 'E 'as done us down." A dismal Christmas, apparently, 
was looked forward to by everybody ; and a bright idea 
came to us that we would have a jollification on our own 
account. We announced the pleasant prospect last week, 
discussed the features of the entertainment, and found 
ourselves more popular than ever, thanks to this simple 
solution of a problem that seems to have been quite acute 
in the Army and the Navy in our part of the world. The 
cinema is our great rival, of course. We can offer no lurid 
pictures " from the front " — no prospect of discovering one 
of the husbands or brothers in a real photograph — but last 
time we were told that our music was a " regular concert," 
and that our two afternoons had " helped to make the weeks 
go." Perhaps the best reward of the work is that the wives 
of N.C.O.s and petty officers have found us out, and so there 
we are, all together, doing our little bit to help each other's 
courage, when the evening papers come in with their often 
meagre and disappointing news. 
As announced in our advertisement columns this week, the 
famous Palmer Cord Motor Tyres have now been reduced in price. 
When one considers the exceedingly high mileage rates rendered 
possible by the use of Palmer Cord Tyres, it will be seen that a con- 
siderable saving to motorists is effected in the matter of tyre upkeep 
by this reduction, which has been rendered possible by the large 
extensions of plant made by the company to cope with the manufacture 
of aeroplane tyres for war purposes. The wearing quality of the 
" Cord " tyres is well known, and the present reduction of prices is 
one that motorists will thoroughly appreciate, for, after some thousands 
of miles have been covered, the economy effected by the use of these 
tyres is really brought home to the man who watches ultimate costs.
