WOMEN IN PUBLIC LIFE
In tEe recent county council elections women were well represented among tho candidates, states an English paper. As for results at the L.C.C. elections, 13 women stood for municipal reform, of whom the very good proportion of nine were elected; eight stood for the’Liberal interest, of whom two were elected; while Labour, evidently possessed of great expectations which were not to be realised, had 29 women candidates, of whom only seven were elected. Of the other counties of England and Wales, six only—lsle of Ely, Isle of AVight, Leicestershire, AVestmoreland, Alontgomery, and Pembrokeshire —have elected no women to their councils.
Middlesex County Council, with 11 women members, heads the list. Sussex, East and AVest, can together muster 11; and Suffolk, East and AVest, and Yorkshire, East, AVest and North ridings, can both boast 10 ’wmen county councillors.
