A Government clerk In London consented to damages, amounting to LI,OOO, for breach of promise. Over 1,000 letters have passed between the couple. It is somewhat curious that Russia admitted women to subordinate posts in her administrative system, while the rest of Europe still excluded them. Female clerks in the postal and telegraph service, the railways, and so forth, are quite an old institution there.
