The violent Suffragettes were there too, bat ander subdued conditions and they evidently were a hit out of place. for when at the Albert Hail Damonstration Lady Henry Somerset repudiated the tactics that had been indulged in, several masculine women of the rowdy pampaign rose and hissed in remarkably good imitation of ancient geese. It is conceded however even by those of us who do not favour the suffrage extension that the morament has beat advanced by the demonstration. But what the wemen bare to do yet is to couvert the women of England to their views, for there are many opposed to it,

The latest move of the advanced section was to hire a launch with a band aboard and while the members of the House of Commons were at tea on the Terrace on Thursday the Suffragettes steamed up and down alongside on the muddy' watersy f the Thames while the more or less fair politicians made pesches at the legislators.
