WOM AN ’S HOUR
CHANCE FOR OLD MAIDS.
LONDON, Oct. 9— “ There is a great opportunity for old maids and maturely aged single educated women,’’.said M.iss ( liosamund Shields, the educationalist, at the Church Congress. “Freedom from home ties gives old maids more chance than mothers to go outside of their own sets and become a link between different classes,” she added. “Women should scorn ‘marrying well’ as their highest ambition. They have now entered their heritage, and need not struggle to prove that they can do what a man does. We arc thankful to lie released from the sex war, and thus able to make a distinctive contribution to the world’s life. Women’s tidiness, method and discrimination have real social value.”
Another delegate predicted that shortly there would be women archdeacons and bishops.
