papers Young women, or, rather, girls in various uniforms, W. R. A.

We have not the least objection to this leg-pull- 18 ing, though we may observe, in passing, that it has destroyed all vestiges of modesty in young ladies." What we do object to is the over burthened tax-payer 14 being called on to pay for this pulling of legs Physical drill is a luxury which the young Wrain and Wrens ought to pay for themselves, or make their par ents do so.
