CREAM BUN GIRL.
A RIDICULOUS DIET. The cream-bun-and-tea-girl must go! Lord Buckmaster, speaking at a dinner in London of the British Open-Door Council, said girls should be encouraged to have good healthy bodies. It was ridiculous that they should do their work in the city and think that they could nourish themselves on tea and a cream bun. They should be taught that a strong, healthy body was the gift of God, and that a weak, ancemic, ill-formed body was the gift of the confectioner and the bootmaker. " The idea that one of tho functions in a woman's life should be to attach herself to a man with means in order that he might keep her for the rest of her days is one that is a degradation to the sex," declared Lord Buckmaster. Women should have a chance to work under tho same conditions, to select her own future and earn her own wages on exactly the same terms as men.
