cat was seen shopping in her motorcar in Bond Street. She sat upright in her car with great dignity, and gravely, and with an air of conscious superiority, gazed through the window at the traffic around. Who her tailor was wc did not discover, but she was smartly tailored in a dark serge coat, well-buttoned up around the neck, which was bound with an emerald-green binding that contrasted effectively with her snowwhite complexion. She also wore a leather collar, with brass or gold fittings, and a bull. MARIE CORELLI AND SUFFRAGETTES, Miss Marie Corelli discusses “ The Problem of the Suffragette," with whom she has admittedly .no sympathy whatever. She thinks it may bo taken for granted that tho Suffragette is a disappointed woman. “ She is a song sung out of tune.” Despite all the faults of which ho is accused, man at his best, she says, has always idealised woman, but ho is having a hard fight to do so now: “Everything rough, violent, ungraceful, and unseemly has the immediate effect of making a -woman look ridiculous, and there is no more humorous figure in the world than an excited Suffragette.

She intends taking the full graduate’s course. Apropos of this, the following rhyme has appeared: Wo are never too old to be learning, they say, But though old folks may throng to the college, There’s a very fair chance that on learning, they may Be too old to: make use of their knowledge.
