· WORKS AND BE HAPPY. LORD CHIEF JUSTICES. ADVICĖ) ΤΟ ΝΟΜΕΝ.
There were people who regarded edus cation as like so much petrol, capable of yielding a uniform horse-power in any kind of engine,” said "the Lord Chief Justice, speaking at the Roedean School for girls.
It was the nature of education, he said. to depend not only those who gave, but also, in many vital respects, upon those who received. Education brought to light profonad inequalities. There were no political alchemy by which they could get. gulden instincts out of leaden natures, and they could no more get the essentials of scholarship into some minds than they could get good sense and common fair- nerg into some dispositions.
In a comparatively long life, he had) never known anybody who worked too hard. He had, of course; known--they had all known-mapy persons who thought that they worked too hard, and a far greater number of persons of whom their female relatives said that they worked foo hard. But his considered can c'asion was that excessive work was really what Mr. Gladstone would have called a nebulcus hypothesis." Hard work was undoubtedly one of the most exhilarat ing things in the world, and, on the other: hand. the conception of life as a cou tinuous and permanent half-term boliday was not always and completely satisfying to the human mind..
Many at least of the barriers against women had al length been taken away, Women could now vote. "and he voted for;) they could take degrees sit on juries, practise at the Bar, be magistrates.
Women had it in their power to achieve much for the great cause of peace.

NOVELS FOR WOMEN ONLY
"Get into the country: walk, ent, and rend novels."'
This was the prescription given a little while ago to an over-worked business ian who consulted his doctor.
The patient replied that he could not undertake to follow the last detail of the treatment.
I can't read novels, he complained. Biographies, histories, if you like; but novel hore me."
The doctor insisted...
"You are suffering from over-work. Your You must get away from facts. imagination needs stirring. Do us 1 tell you and I promise that you will benefit." The man obeyed, and some weeks after- wards he thanked his doctor.
"You were right." he said. "I needed. a mental rest and got it by reading fiction."
Men need subtly to be encouraged to read more fetion.
I stopped reading fiction whee Kip- ling stopped writing it," a man said to
e a day or two ago.
Kipling, essentially a man's writer, tras no successor. Most of the men who are writing fiction t-day are writing for a fethining public. This is flattering to women, hat there are many women who like to read books which appeal to men. Every schoolgirl likes stories of boys' schools, and every woman likes sometimes to get away from the novel of marriage or love, which deals almost exclusively with the woman's point of view, to the novel written by a luan for rács.
Men do it read modern novels because they are out deenly interested in analyses of the relationship between the sexes. Such books usually are them. Stories of grent endeavour, of adventure, of high romance, or of very unsentimental but unforced simplicity, men like,
But who is writting them to-day? It's possible that in five and twenty years' time fetion: will be written for women, about women, by, women 1
