WOMAN MEAT-CARRIER.
SENSATION AT SMITHFIELD. l/XOH OC* OWX COHRESSOSDEK'i.) LONDON, September 30. One of the last masculine strongholds in London has fallen to a woman. It •was Smithfield Market, where a woman meat-carrier appeared for the first time in history this week. In a few hours she had disposed of tons of meat. She was Mrs A. E. Tidd, who is going to carry on the work of her late husband. " She bustled about taking orders in a capacious notebook, and superintending her lorries, apparently oblivious to the mild sensation she was causing. A petite, fair-haired woman, Mrs Tidd wore a red-peaked cap, long white coat, short skirt, and big black Bussian boots. A leather money satchel was slung across her shoulders. "I have never been associated with the business before," she said, "but I am certain that I shall succeed. I j don't feel at all strange being the only woman in the Market. I just think that I am here to get on with the job. I feel quite at home."
