THINGS EXPECTED OF YOUNG
WOMEN OF TO-DAY.
A LADY THANKFUL. SHE IS VERGING ON OLD AGE
At a public meeting held at Sheffield, an September 29th, made the auspices of the National Council of, Women Confer ence the subject of home construction and management was dealt with in all aшus- Mrs. ing and instructive manner Oliver Strachey, who considered she was a building contractor, as she had bailt three beautiful houses. "I built them tod beautifully," she said. to make much money." (Laughter.) Architects and builders tried to make mystery of house construction, but they did not understandhouse-building · from the women's point of view. They made the. hright of sinks, shelves, and pegs suitable for tall men. (Laughter.) Mrs. Strachey recommended that women should be able to de repairing jobs about the house, but the wife of plumber in the audience thought that women who did small jobs aught to be left to tackle burst water pipes when frost came. (Laughter.)
Lady Ampthill" dealing with "* Some special aspects of women's science" urged that women should have a definite stand- ard of education, and that every woman, should be able to do one thing properly and well. At the beginning of the war, when knitting came into fashion, she was thoroughly ashamed of some of the work done, and shuddered to think of the many sore feet which would result. When she saw, now-a-days, so great an amount of charming jumpers, she felt in- clined to ask at whose expense the art of knitting had been learned. Those who had to buy children's garments at bazaars, under the blessed guise of! charity, knew that the average woman's sewing left a lot to be desired
A trained nurse, who approved of Lady Ampthill's views, said that when it came to making linseed poultices they had some startling experiences during the training of women for hospital work. (Laughter.) Lady Frances Balfour confessed that could not help feeling thankful she was now verging on old age, in view of the number of things they had been told, lay before the young women of to-day, and for which they ought to fit themselves. (Laughter.) It made her rejoice to look back upon her youth when she was one of twelve and very idle. She had a gover ness who could teach her nothing. She (Lady Frances) loved horses, hated the school-room, and never learned to make anything in the kitchen, except very good toffee. (Renewed laughter.) The doors were now open, and it was only a ques tion of whether women fitted themselves and were really fit to undertake public service. When the call of war came to young women her wonder was that they were so fit for what they were called upon to do after the generations in which they had been absolutely denied educa- tion. (Cheers.)

A COUNTESS'S QUESTION..
At the National Council of Women Conference at Sheffield, on September 29th, Mrs. Telley, of the Leamington branch, moved a resolution calling for the establishment of a national board of censors to consider all films shown at cinemas. It was agreed to in the follow. ing for in the opinion of the National Council of Women, it is desirable that there should be a national board of censors, on which there shall be equal representation of men and women, to con- sider all films shown at cinemas, and that a stricter censorship should be main tained as to filma suitable for exhibi- tion."
