Woman is coming into her own in England, says a writer, who adds that it is no joke in this hitherte man run country, where now the women are far in excess of the men and where the female voters are now greatly outnumbering the mere males. Everywhere
are advancing. There are ten women Labour members, three Conservatives, one Liberal and one Independent in the House of Commons.
There is a woman member of the Labour Cabinet. There are a considerable number of partia- mentary under-secretaries and private secretaries. A woman is the personal private secretary of the Prime Minister. Women, who are peeresses in their own right, are persistently hammering at the doors of the House of Lords and demanding the right to sit there and legislate like the mere male wearers of the historic exmine.
" And now in sports they have invaded that hitherto closed field for men, pitted their brains
and their skill against the males-and licked them! Miss Brown..
The first big astounding success of this kind happened a
few weeks ago when the crack flyers of Britain competed for the King's Cup in a race all around England. The best male pilots of Britain entered this and coolly and calmly wondered which of their number would; as, usual, bear off the trophy. But when the contest was over no mere male had won it. The winner was Miss Winfred Brown-the first of her. sex to achieve this triumph. *-*-.

An "outer" or a "magpie" spelled defeat. An "Inner" meant a tie. A 'bull's eye meant victory. It was enough to test the nerve of anybody. Very calmly Miss Foster forced the bolt home, brought the rifle butt to her shoulder and sought the allgament of foresight and target centre a thousand yards away. Click went the trigger, ping went the shot, and then the crowd held its breath until the signal of the result came back. "Bull's eye!" Miss, Foster, a mere woman, had beaton & mere man by 280 to 279-also for the first time in English history. And the women present were especially joyous when the King telegraphed:
"I most heartily congratulate Miss Foster on winning my prize. That she should have done so is a wonderful achievement in the history of rifle shoot-ph and as such will be universally acclaimed." Miss Foster.
