Women and; Politics. Women who come out from England are firmly of the'opinion that we in New ■Zealand do not half appreciate our' political., privileges, : and are inolined. to think us, painfully: ignorant of., things 'with which, many of: them have made them-' selves 'perfectly familiar; No doubt the recent elections .at Home are responsible. for a -tremendous increase and- knowledge on their' part of -the political affairs, of the. country, even though they : do not possess'-a vote.- The. issues'at stake have been so momentous and altogether so.'un-. paralleled; Vln any ; :case, it does seem as though women, in.:this country merely play, at .politics, only becoming aroused when the are. near at. hand,, not Realising";the' necessity of at any rate keeping somewhat in touch .with,.,'what-. ever.legislahon' is: being passed by : our Legislature;-'-V.Possibly :it' members .made a practice, of giving, addresses every now and again, on- political matters it might[help to keep people's-interest from flagj girig. -On-Monday evening next Mr. .Herdman, the member for Wellington' North, addresses his constituents in .the Sydney.
