If they accomplish nothing else, the new women Members of Parliament are going to lend a little colour and variety to the House of Commone. So long as Lady Astor, Mrs. Wintringham and Mrs. Philipson were the only women entitled to write M.P." after their names the House looked even more sombre than usual. All three were always garbed in black. If one desired a touch of colour it was necessary to look, ronid for the scarlet or canary waistcoat of sema man, or to glance up at the public gallery, where, after dinner, there were certain to be a number of women spectators in brilliant opera cloaks,

The pioneers among women Members were probably wise in attracting as little attention na possible by their dress. but now that there are eight of them they will become individually less" prominent and will be at liberty to give ratige to feminine fancies. Lady Terrington has already set a Parliamentary precedent by coming down to the House on several successive days in different costumes. This is a change indeed, because in the beginning one did not see a new frock once in six months Miss Jewson, one of the Labour Members. has appeared in a. scarf that would match Joseph's cont of many calours,
I am rather amused to discover that the women profess to be very annoyed at the amount of attention that has been given to their dress in the newspapers, and that what they wear has been the subject of comment: but why blame the papers! Members generally have been gossiping about the Daughters of Eve in the lobby, and-as men are apt to do- have even been appraising the looks of the eight.

On a first impression the Duchess of Atholl strikes one as dutstanding" for her Lady dignity and gracious manner.
M.P. to get Astor. the first woman elected, remains the most vivacious and outspoken. Mrs. Wittringham is stift the and motherly-looking: | most matronly Lady Terrington bears some bancu to Lady Astor by having In some rest a good deal of nerve. pects the most interesting in Miss Margaret Bondfield, the leading Tabour being the woman in the country, President this year of the Trades Union Congress. She is full of restless energy.. and gives one the impression of being always on the alert and ready to pounes. She is a very highly-strung little woman. Miss Susan Lawrence another Labour Member, who has grown grey in public service; and Miss Jewson, from Norwich, both look on the proceedings of Parlia ment rather wistfully, and sadly, with the eyes of reformers dreaming great dreams.
IN THEATRE-LAND,
"There has been a good deal of talk over, the salary of £50 a week which, It is said the Moss Empires Syndicate are paying Mr. George Robey under No- contract for the next 12 months. thing like this salary has been ever given préviously to an artiste appearing in variety shows. I believe the highest paid hitherto has been under £600. Some people ask the obvious question whether any stage performer is worth £750 a week. It is a sum that represents for about six weeks' effort to amuse the Prime Minister is public as much as paid by a more or less grateful country for guiding and controlling the affairs of State for a year. Of course, there is no satisfactory answer to the question: all that can be usefully said is that George Robey's employers are keen business men and may be supposed to knew what they are doing.
Meanwhile, it is curious to note that while George Robe is in claver, alarm- ing reports are current in theatrical circles generally as to the slump which has set in anong London theatres. Opinions differ about the reason, but is the main most of those in a position to sprak on the subject give lack of money as the root cause. Several of the most popular of the Christmas-time produc tions have participated in the slump, which indicates that it is tot altogether the fault of the play but inck of cash in the pockets of the theatre-going! public.

"It took the National Sunday League some 40 years to secure the resolution by Parliament which enabled museums and picture-galieries to be opened for specifie bours on 'Sundays; but all this counts for nothing whenever a new occasion such is the Wembley Exhibition comes up for consideration.
