A LOSING BATTLE
BROWNING'S PROTEST
It is always for her own good, you notice, that the average man wants to prevent woman advancing into new fields, states the "Australian Women's Weekly." It would be too dreadful to place her among men in a jury box! Think of the unpleasant things she might have to hear!
