WOMEN STAMP DESIGNERS.
Women outside tho Koyal circle figure so seldom on stamps that tho emorgence of a new one is an event.
It is this that makes tho modost 50 centimo stamp France issued recently in honour of St. Joan of Arc of such wide general interest, but it is a poor little stamp and is no credit to tho artist, engraver, or tho printer St. Joan we can match with our own warrior saint, St. Ursula, who figures on tho stamps of the Virgin Isles, states an English writer. Still keeping outside Royal circles, thero aro the stamps women havo designed, of which tho finest was tho beautiful series issued by Irak, which wero designed by Miss Cheeseman and Mrs. C. C. Garbett, and appeared in 1923, and two of tho dosigns of tho present Irish issue aro duo to Miss L. Girling and Miss L. Williams.
