ABOUT ENGLISH WOMEN.

Miss Gertrude Atkerton, the American novelist, writing in "Vote for Women," Bays: — "In the English climate it would be difficult to spoil even the rich, and although the labour classes will want more and more, the more you do for them, there is no question that they are entitled to. far more than they have at present. . "With tact and discretion, and not giving them tqo much at the outset, while yet relieving them from tho discomfort and debasement of poverty, they could be made into self-respecting, patriotic Bri tons, and a revolution be averted. "I think thero can be no question in the minds of any intelligent student of the present conditions in England that the awakened, public-spirited, humane, and determined women bred by this great suffrage movement alcne could accomplish this end. Aside from these qualities, and brains heretofore euphemistically known as 'masculine.' they have that -precious commodity—Time. "The Women's Era approaches, her sun rises, this.century is he-s. They are making converts of men all over the country, for brain-power, when concentrated by the risht sort of fanaticism, operates and converts independently <-f sex. Let the men of Westminster make friends and allies of these women before it is too late, and they find themselves suddenly sequestered in their library arm-chairs and muttering of 'good old times.'"
