CORRESPONDENCE CONDENSED.
Mr. John Kays suggests that a statue ol Her Majesty should be erected in Auckland as a commemoration. The Countess of Seafield setids a long letter calling attention to the number of wretched drunken women who may be seen on our streets. She proceeds as follows: "It behoves us women to do something. If the law refuses us both hearing and redress, why can we not band together and take the matter into our own hands. We have the right 011 our side anil God defends that) right. I now call on you women of Auckland for the sake of your own womanhood, for the sake of the boys and girls growing up around you, to be up and doing. Verily it hath heen wisely said that" the hand thai rocks the cradle rules the world." Women know not the great power of their influence, if used aright. They need not go in for Oman's Rights," or "Franchise." The "New Woman" is verily, I believe, an eyesore in the sight of her Maker.
