BOWMANVILLE "MksHens LyMr gs ASK YOtJR DEALER Write for Pratta PouItry, Boohr-Fr Ptmtt Food Co., of Canada, Limitdo LADY JOURNALIST SPEAKS AT WONEN'S CANADIAN CLUI Miss Lucy Doyle Gives Ilnteresti Address on "London Durlng the Ilmperial ConRferencell Miss Lucy Doyle, formerly "Cor nella" of the Toronto Evenhig Tel, egram and noted lady journaiist wal the speaker at the regular monthi, meeting of the Wornen's Canadia Club heid in St. John's Parish Hal on Monday afternoon. Miss Doyli spoke on "London during the Imper. ial Conference" and under this head. ing covered a wide field of activitie to which she was a party during tha, eventf ui six weeks in the worid': metropolis. Incidently the speakei liad the honor of bemng the first lad3 to address the local women's clul during the present season. Ln introducing Miss Doyle Mrs George Mason. President, told ver: little of ber life story as is general ir an introduction. The reason becaron apparent shortly after Miss DoyiE began her address. Any journalist oi the calibre of the speaker had sc much of a life story that woulclbb impossible to commence to chronicic themn. Crowded into the six weeks oi the Imperial Conference Miss Doylc saw à remarkable portion of London met a great number of notable mcxi and women and saw some of thc most impressive sights that even she, as a journalist, has been privileged tc see. "I went to London," she stated "at the commencement of the Im- perial Conference not as an officiai. but as unofficial observer. What1 saw in my peeps behind the curtains of London's social and officiai lite I will endeavour to tell youl". In the early part of her visit Miss Doyle visited many of England's famous mansions many of them oc- cupied by strangers because the owners, owmng to the terrible condit- ions in England at the present time, being unable to keep2 them up them- selves. When one actually sees the great distress in the Mother Country the speaker stated could easily un- derstand why it was that Mr. Fer- guson had said what he did about reviving the spirit of the people of England which seemed to be lying dormant. Conditions were bad, there was no doubt. and she wondered il the staying with tradition rather than taking the modern trend of af- fairs resulted in this state or was il the relationship which existed be- tween that country and Russia whereby the latter could dump f ood and merchandise ini England thus deprîving the colonies of their traçie channels. Women. Miss Doyle stated, ai- though not at the conference in any of ficiai capacity fllled however, the very important role of hostesses. She told of the wonderfui parties giver Jby and for the overseas delegates, of her visit o Checjuers, the horne of English Prime Ministers in the coun- try, of the brilliant gatheriugs in Buckingham Palace at whlch the delegations from the Dominions were much impressed by the graclous dig- nxty of the British monarchs. These parties may seem, she saîd. to be vastly apart frorn Imperial business but they were flot. The very fact that bundreds of men and women f rom a score of races côuld mingle together as though they bad known each other for years. This was the real meanlng 0f lmperialism. She told of the interesting people she had met on that visit, Lady Sqjuires of Newfoundland, Mrs. Sydney Webb, wife of Lord Passlleld who refused to accept the titie given ber husband, Lady Astor and a score of other not- ables who would appear on London's [social register. She told of an interesting visit to the House of Commons in which much hurnor was apparent even in the severest debates. 0f particular iuterest was ber description of Mar- garet Bondfleld, Eugland's Minister of Employment, who was subject to an attack by a score of conserva- tives asking what had been doue for the unemployed and questions pour- ed in to ber so fast that she bad to cail for aid from other members of the Labor Party. Miss Doyle told of interesting events which it would be impossible to chronicle here. At the end of ber remarks she summed up briefly the failure of the Imperial Conference. It was not as some supposed, that the Dominion of Canada, represented by Premier Bennett, was expecting too much of the Old Country. Premier Bennett was backed to the lirait by every Dominion premier and it was Eng- land alone which stood out against the Proposais of the others. Had there not been a Labor government in office Miss Doyle thought the re- suit might have been different. She saw Ramsay MacDonald, J. H. Snow- den and Philip Snowden retarding the better interests of the country they govern and she saw reports she stated that were not even denied by the government that the profits of a. distance were: Mr. and Mrs. Her- bert Stainton, Hampton: Mrs. R. A. Ashton, Haydon. The bride and brldegroom of twenty years ago were the reciplents of many beautiful glfts and also many good wlshes for bealth and bapplness for many years to corne.
