KIND ENGLISHWOMEN
SISTERS FROM DOMINIONS MORE WELCOME THAN BEFORE. LONDON, June 30. “ Englishwomen have lost much of their traditional exclusiveness and have become more open-hearted toward visitors from the dominions since I ■ visited London in 1926,” said Mrs Albert Littlejohn, Australian delegate to the United .Associations’ Conference., in an interview. “ Educated women from the dominions are welcomed by women eminent in professions and in the forefront of progressive movements, who are a splendid example to Australia, where women are inclined to dismiss serious activities as boring. The better-class Englishwomen would be ashamed to confess to such an attitude.
“ Class bitterness appears to have grown in England. Perhaps it was always latent and has become only recently articulate. Nevertheless it shocks an Australian.
“ I am certain that there are splendid opportunities in Australia for English business women, who are more adventurous and adaptable than men.”
