P.'s BEFORE LADY ASTOR'S TIME London, June 18.--Many people imagine that Lady Astor was the first woman to sit in a British Par- llament, but in the Middle Ages women were an essential part of the ' deliberative assemblies says "Overseas." In the reign of Ed- ward I, for example, the Abesses of Shaftesbury, Berking, St. Mary of Winchester and of Wilton, were summoned to Westminster, while in the reign of Edward III, a num- ber of women of high degree, in- cluding Mary, Countess of Norfolk, Alenor, Countess of Ormond, Anne Despenser, Countess of Pembroke and Matilda, Countess of Oxford, were members of the National Council, and they seem to have their presence felt just as po- tently as do the women members of the House of Commons today. Parliament, during the Women's Suffrage movement, used frequent ly to be invaded or interrupted by advocates of women's rights anxi- ous to redress the wrong of their sex, But this, again was merely a case of history repeating itself, for John Stow, the tailor-antiquarian, records that one day in 1428, while Parliament was sitting 'one Mis- tress Stokes, with divers other stout women of London of good ac- count and well apparelled," went "openly to the. Upper House of Parliament and delivered letters to the Duke of Gloucester, to the rchbishops and the other lords ecause he (the Duke of Glouces- ter) would not deliver his wife Jaqueline out of her grievous im- prisonment (she was at the time detained as prisoner by the Duke of Burgundy) and suffering her there to remain unkindly whilst he lived in adultery and contrary to the law of God and the honourable estate of matrimony." It is grati- fying to note that as a result of his courageous incursion Parlia- mént was induced to 'do something about it," even if Jaqueline of Hol- land, the lady on whose behalf they pleaded, was one of the most married women in history, who In the course of a short life of thirty- five years, acquired four husbands, one of them bigamously and one trigamously. Ladies at one time during the 18th century had admission not only to the public galleries, but ac- tually to the sacred floor of the House itself, where they would sometimes sit by the side of mem- bers. The ultimate abandonment of this privilege in favour of absu- lute exclusion came about through a display of fractiousness on the part of the ladies. A great debate in February, 1778, had drawn to the House an exceptionally large number of ladies. Not content with the galleries they trespassed upon some seats from which they were customarily excluded. As members themselves were crowded out, an order was given to eject the ladies. The order, however, was easier to give than to execute. The ladies, having come to the House for an evening's amusement, saw no ade- quate reason for not getting it, and return will the arguments of the authorities left them coldly unconvinced.

The ladies ab- solutely declined to move, They laughed and stamped and jeered and told the officials with devastat- ing candour what they thought of them. The authorities were in de- spair, They could not use force, and on the other hand, it was not possible to permit the mandate of the House to be flouted, In the difficulty they adopted the only course open to them. They oppos- ed obstinacy to obstinacy and in the long run won the day, but, as a contemporary account declares, "it was a full two hours before the skirts of the last of the ladies dis- appeared through the doorway of the House." After this obatreperous exploit, #0 rigorous was the ban against ladies that Mrs, Sheridan (the love. ly Elizabeth Linley, wife of Rich ard Brinsley Sheridan) was driven to the expedient of wearing male attire in order to secure admission to the galleries to hear her hus- band's eloquence, BABY HAS OSTRICH DIET When an eight-months-old baby was operated on at Wanganui, N, Z., recently, after it was reported to have swallowed a button, 26 pins, needles, safety pins and but. tons were found in its stomach. The little one is recovering. An older child had fed the unusual mixed diet to the baby. Most appetizing and preity are sliced cucumbers served with sour cream, Sliced onions and a little chopped parsley may be added. We are constantly hunting for excuses to send cards and give gifts a symbol of good comradeship and friendliness, An what is more fitting than a remembrance for the girl who is closing one period of her life and entering upon another? After all, there are but very few occasions that are as' worthy of thought as the day on which' we close the doors of one school be- hind us and open the doors of an- other. ' For even when it is a day that means we are bidding goodbye to text books, we are just the same, registering in another school, the hardest one of all, for the lessons we study under Experience are many times, extremely difficult, So ~-graduation day becomes a day of gifts and there is no excuse, In this era of variety, for a gift that is not both appropriate and prac- tical. Let us see, then, what It may be. The Taste of the Individual Certain girls are studious, seri- ous minded, thoughtful, while oth. ers are gay, laughter-loving, frivo- lous, perhaps. And yet others go in for sports, and are happiest when active in the out-of-doors. But where will you find a girl that does not love clothes and the ap- purtenances thereto? And as it happens, there are special clothes for special types, and your thought, little or big, can be fittingly ex- pressed through them. . Gloves, hosiery, flowers--of the fashion sort, handbags, kerchiefs, these are possible for everyone, and they may he tailored, sports, The Women's Corner For An ing + of [inion to Community semi-formal or formal, as the re- ciplent would prefer, Incidentally, it she does not like clothes, there are, always, books and flowers, the traditional gifts. Tht Gift of When it is something that she would not, otherwise, have had, then it is, to her, a luxury, For the girl who plays at outdoors sports, & necklace of wooden beads would be the choice, against a cry- stal necklace for her who dances, and makes much of her evening apparel. For the sports type there are sweaters, and there are jack- ets, but there are jackets for the other types as well, and they dit- fer widely and amazingly. It may be a frivolous affair of lace or moire, of taffeta, and then it would be for evening. It might be a belted jacket or a cordigau, and then it would be for sports or for general wear. And it mignt be of calico or a print, quilted, and then it would be included in the sports group, And so the idea may be followed through the entire range of garments and accessories, on into things apart from clothes. There are costly and lovely vani- ties, although the two are not al- ways synonymous, If she smoRes, and modern girls do, whether yon approve it or not, there are cigar- ette cases and holders and lighters ----separately, or in a smoker's en- semble. There are dainty things fer her room, and there are all tue sylendors of toiletries, and certain you may be that no girl ever has too many bottles and boxes of bath salts and soaps and creams, DO NOT BREW TEA FOR A LONG TIME Should Not Steep More Than Five Minutes; Beverage Should Not Be Given To Children Most. adults seem to feel that the "cup that cheers but not in- ebriates'" is essential to their comfort at least once a day. A cup of properly made hot tea or a glass of the same iced beverage ofien does do much to cheer and can do little to harm the average well person, Children should never be allow- ed to drink tea in any form, It the tinkle of ice and accompany- ing lemon and sugar of iced tea should prove too enticing for child- ren at the family table, a glass of lemonade should be provided for them, Properly made tea should not be allowed to 'steep' or 'brew' longer than five minutes. At the end of this time, the tea should be poured from the leaves and the leaves thrown away. The -flavoring substance and stimulating properties in tea leaves are quickly extracted by boiling water. The short period cf steeping producse a fragrant, deli- cately flavored beverage, mildly stimulating to some persons, Long steeping will extract the tannin from the leaves and spoil the delicate flavor. The taste will be bitter and "puckery'" and the fragrance wholly lost. No amount of fresh water added to too stroug tea can make it delicate and non- injurious. When strong tea is wanted, as for iced tea, double the amount of tea leaves used but do not length- en the brewing or steeping-time. To make tea for more than the family tea-pot can accommodate, allow 1 teaspoonful of tea leaves for each cup of tea wanted. Put the leaves into a wire strainer and pour freshly boiling water through into a pre-scalded pitcher, Serve at once. Their is an art in packing dresses into your grip for travel. ling. Depending on your skill in this, they arrive at the journey's end a mass of wrinkles or fresh and fit to wear at once. Card- board and tissue paper are helps in packing. Cut several pieces of a suit box a little smaller than your suit case. When packing a dress into the suit case, lay it flat on the bed and fold it the size and shape of the suit case, placing a piece of cardboard and some crushed tissue paper, between the folds, as the laundry man places cardboard be- tween the folds of a freshly laun- dered shirt. Place crushed tissue paper between all folds, where you double the sides over or the sleeve in or the cuff back. If you are very particular, you may lightly wrap twine or tape about rhe folded garment to keep it from slipping out of place, A dress may be laid flat and rolled lightly about a centre of crushed tissue paper and packed into a small hand bag. One dress may even be thus rolled over an- other, the centre of tissue paper will yield and prevent their be- coming wrinkled, dens, then straight to your grocer -- or and freshness, .
