Webbe. the Municipal Reform candidate for the division, told the meeting that Dame Beatrix had been ill in bed, but once she had made up her m’nd to do a thing no bub could dissuade her.

Miss Lyall added, made up her mind to speak at the Camberwell meeting, and wns determined to get out of bed arid go there. Her doctor told her not to go; her family told her not to go. but she took no notice of them. “So we took her clothes away nnd hid them.” snid Miss Lyall. (Laughter.)
