"WOMAN BARRISTER.

FIRST CALL TO THE BAR

ก

Austerity and dignified ceremonial observance of quaiat old customs; and the dissipation of it all in noise when the Mas turn of the Bench have retired to sip their port, are the characteristics of any call night. The legal Inns differin minor ways in their observances. It fell to Ianor Temple on may 10th, to make what will be an historic "call" I has been the subject of growth from times so remote that any starting-point it is impossible to as, and the English Inas are themselves of an antiquity "that none can measure with accuracy; but never since the foundation of the carlist them have they given to a woman learned in the law privilege to practise at the Bar, Dr. Ivy Williams, of Oxford, on this occasion receiv ed hereill, and thus becomes the first English woman barrister. She is not, in fact, the first to wear wig and gown.". Last Novem- ber Miss Kyla and Miss Deverell were called to the Irish Bar in Dublin.

So there w just the stir of pleasant curiosity in the quiet courts of the Temple when the "panyer" made his accustoime? round of them, blowing his or-hora ILS a call to barristers and students to dinner. Unfortunately for the pur- poses of a "show" Inner Temple in pot the "met autisfactory of the four Inas of Court, In Middle Temple, for instance, the body of passed students move in procession through the hall to the Benchers' table on the dais, before which they line up, and there are harangued by the Treasurer, and there sign the roll. This takes place before dinner, and should the year's Treasurer chunce to be verbose the assembled company «land- "ders at the prospect of cold meats.

Inner Temple gives its call, not in hall, where hundreds can be present, counting- parents, cousins, and aunts, who in Middle Temple on such occasions and accom- modation in the mistrels' gallery, bat in privacy. To the Parliament Room, when the Bencher live retired there after dinner, the newly-fledged barris- ters are summoned, and the Benchars, and these alone, know what takes place. Wigs are not work. Regulation decreed on this occasion that Miss Williams aboukl appear attired in the simplicity of woman's evening dress, and she was little dis tinguished from other women students.. A few who in curiosity lingered about the open door that admitted the company, to dinner felt just a shade disappointed Mr. Henry Fickling Dickens, F.C., the Common Serjeant, is this year's Treasurer of Inner Temple. It fell to him to address: the new barristers, and with the customary welcome to thera and discourse upon the res- ponsiblities and privileges of their chosen profession, no doubt he took occasion to refer to the admission of women, but what he said it is not etiquette, to disclose.

THE SARTORIAL QUESTION. Miss Williams owes the precolezen of her call to the fact that she was awarded s etilente of honour at her" esamination, which exempts her from keeping her last two terus. Eight other women have passed the final examinations, but they bare still temus to keep before they are qualified for their tall. The new barristers are marshall- ed in seniority, honours coming first, and a senior student it because Miss Williams's privilege to head the body, and, "what is nore an ordeal very trying to the ner vous-to express, in her first speech. as a harrister, their acknowledgments for the Treasurer's widreas. What she said is also not on record, so strict is the privacy that the Inns maintain. But experience that al rely she has gaine Fas a lecturer on law at Oxford no donhtable? her to surmount the first obstacle.that cohfronts those of hy disposition, and to find her voice, Sh is a tall, dark woman, the daughter of Mr. George St. Swithin' Williams, an Oxford soliciter, and her honours gained include the B.C.L. and M.A. of Uxford and LL.D. of London University.

The great sartorial question was decided by a committee of judges.. They decreed what women barristers should wear in the courts. The black cup of the Coo- tinental bur was ruled atit, and wonen, like men, will assume the white and curled borsehair wig. They adopt, too, the bands, or neck-piece. They have De stuff gown. It must be worn over a dark dress, which is to be high at the neck, and long enough to show below the gown.!

HERE is a distinguishing feature in the business of the house of HAIG &z HAIG. Most Distillers have various brands of varying qualities. HAIG & HAIG have one brand only, and they claim (and the public acclaim) that it is the finest that goes from Scotland.

It is a regrettable fact that all retailers have not the same high standard of commercial honesty, and it is known that cheaper brands are some- times passed on to the public under the label of houses of high repute..

When you see a genuine bottle of HAIG & HAIG Fire Stars Scots Whisky it will be the same бne quality in London, in Lucknow, or in Labrador; in the Langham Hotel, in the G.O.H. at Colombo, and in the best Clubs in Cape Town.
