It is twenty-one years since the National Council of Women of Great Britain and Ireland fast met in Scotland's empitak! Even as recently as that, as Lady Salvesen, the president of the Edinburgh brunch, observed in welcoming the delegates, there were few subjects which it was seemly for women to discuss. To day there are few- subjects,"seemly or otherwise, which women i de unt interest themselves in. Such is the progress of На generation towards the com: "plete emancipation of womenhood.

The subject of the Conference was The Call of the Children, and the first two resolutions taken were concerned with criminal assaults on young girls, and with i the Guardianship, Maintenance, and Cus toly of Infants Bill. Both gave rise to considerable discussion, and in both cases resolutions were carried. "

The climate is equable. It is sunny but temperate, being neither so inclement in winter as that of Northern Europe, nor so encreating in summer as that of the East. It is a genial, wholesome climate in which Europeans thrive.
The tougher work in South Africa is done by coloured labourers 'and domestics. Educational facilities are good, the young can now take their University degrees in South Africa. The larger towns are modernly equipped, and many of the smaller ones are very congenial residentially. There are numerous resorts-mount tain, river and marine, for an occa sional change.
