LADY STOUT IN ENGLAND.

AX INTEREST fNG LETTER. Lady Stoul wrilos an intoresling letter to ihe \\X-!lination “I’osi. ’ Irom i Shakespeare Hotel, Sfratiord-on-Avon, where die is slaying with iiov daughter. it is a very quaint and pretty hostelry, with blr.ek oak beams and floors like the waves of the sea. , I'he room she ocemiies is called ‘‘The i Winter’s Tale,” all 1 lie. rooms being i-.-imod after Shakespeare’;:'. plays. It ins old latticed windows. Outside the house Inis live gables, and part of it dates from the fifteenth century. They visited Shakespeare’s house, and the old farmhouse where- Ann Hathaway was said to have lived. Its old ingle-nook must have been a cosy place on a cold winter’s night. From there Lady ..Stout and Miss Stout went to Cheltenham and spoke at two. mootings. On census night in London she went out with Mrs and Miss Ostler. Miss' Ir-itt, and the two Miss Youngs, going from the Lyceum Club to Trafalgar Square, and then on to the Aklwych Rink, where a very fine entertainment was given by hauling actresses and suffrage speakers, with Mrs T'ankhurst in the chair. At 4 a.tn. they went to the Gardenia Restaurant and had breakfast, and then back to the Rink, where skating had begun, and then on to Covent Garden Market, where the Hewers were simply glorious. One of the costers said, “Thom there women don’t want to tell their ago and make believe it is for high and mighty reasons!” Then they walked along to Charing Cross station and found a Lyon’s restaurant just open, having to wait a quarter of an hour before being served and eat their breakfast while the shop was being washed out. Several clergymen and their, wives were there. The suffragettes could not, of course, go to their homos till twelve. One woman stupidly did, and her husband promptly entered her. Many men evaded the census as well as women, as a t notest against the injustice of the government. One lady wire was in the Rink had left fifty suffragettes in her own house, and fifty in a house in Hampstead that she owns. Everywhere there wgro houses filled with* evaders. A significant fact was, whatever may be done to the Bill, that Lloyd-George spoke of the suffrage in opening a bazaar.
