AT HOME AND ABROAD.
The first woman to receivc the Bachelor of- Laws degree at Rangoon University has been appointed Assistant Registrar on the Original Side of the Rangoon High Court. Her name is Daw Me Me Khin, 8.A., B.L. It is the first time a woman has been given such an appointment in India.
That a brown monarch of Afghanistan approves of the women's movement in England should not be without interest even to us in New Zealand. He spoke liis commendation not merely in England, where it might have been taken as courtesy, but also when he returned to his own Afghanistan. Evidently he sees nothing inconsistent between such duties and the home life. The ' Women s Leader" draws a little picture of the Eastern potentate meeting at Liverpool the lady Mayor of that great city, and having the fact of woman's equality thus brought home to him when he sees a woman "on the apex of a vast civic administrative system."
