MODERN WOMAN
ROYALTY AND SHINGLES.
& N.Z. Cable Assn.) LONDON, December 1. Princess Arthur of Connaught, has just had her hair re-shingled, after allowing it .to grow for several months Her husband approved of the shingle, which was first done when the Princess was Vice-Reine of South Africa, but it is understood that King George looked with disfavour upon the modern crop. The only other shingled Royal personage is Lady Carisbrooke. Undergraduates’ debate. LONDON, December 1. The Cambridge Undergraduates debated the following question: “That this House disapproves of Modern Women.” The motion was defeated by 191 votes to 161. The supporters of the motion favoured the womanly woman. The proposer, Mr M. A. King-Hamilton, declared:—“The modern woman,, with her arms bangled, her hair bingled, and her face bungled, looks like nothing on earth.” WORK AND DUTIES. LONDON, December 1. "There are over-many girls and women competing against men,” was the emphatic declaration of Dr Fenton, medical officer for Kensington. He included girl typists and shop assistants, saying that the proper place for them was domestic service. If they cleared out, men’s conditions and earnings would be vastly improved, opening up wider opportunities for marriage, which was unquestionably the happiest state of existence. This would remove from the Labour market thousands of women, while increased earnings of married men would make possible domestic assistance. Furthermore, domestic work was better for girls than typing, selling stockings or packing pickles.
