Perth is soon to have a legal firm in which the partners will be two girl graduates of the University of Western Australia (states Uio Sydney "Daily [ Telegraph). They will "be admitted to the Bar next month, and intend to open a city office soon afterwards. The' two giris are Miss Mary Kingston and Miss Shicla MeClemns, both of Mount L'awley. They -were prominent in university life, both scholastic and social, and concluded brilliant careers with degrees in Arts and Law. Both have served articles with city legal firms. ' Recently they stated: "We don't expect to do as well as a man's firm, but if wo are reasonably good at our work we will be successful. Wo expect to dt> more in conveyancing and probates and will-making; than in the Courts." "Do you intend to. many?" Miss Kingston was asked, "and if you do will you give up your work?" Miss Kingston looked a little surprised. ' "Oh, bo. At least, I haven't thought very much about it yet," she said, "but, if I marry I shall most certainly keep on with my work. "I have spent all my life getting ready for it, and it would not seem very reasonable to expect me to give .it" up just because'l. got'married.'"-
