Lady Astor (C., Plymouth), in shocked tone: You ought not to. (Laughter.)

Ming Wilkinson (tartly): Well, you have done much the same. (Laughter.)

Miss Wilkinson protested against a man being allowed to bring into this country a foreign wife who would be entitled by her marriage to sit in the House of Commons.

Women members continued to carry everything before them.

After Mr. Clynes (Home Seere tary) had dared to say for the Government that, while they accept- ed the principle of the Bill, they could not accept it altogether, largely because of international difficulties and lack of unanimity among the Dominions, Mise Rath bone, the Independent member for the Combined English Universities, bore down under full sail on kim.

She made it clear that women would not be satisfied with tho Government's offer of legislati dim and dis ing, at some tant date, which would allow

Determined Women,

For the Liberals, Sir Herbert Samuel succeeded in getting in a few words edgeways in support of the Bill and in criticism of the lethargy of the Government,

The Bill was given n second rend ing without a division. It was clear that women members did not intend to allow the Government to

shelve the matter.
