WOMEN AND DIVORCE.

AN EQUAL RIGHTS BILL.

By 231 votes to twenty-seven the House of Commons on March 2ad, pusel the second reading of the Matrimonial Causes (Eugland and Wales) Bill, which proposes to give a woman the right of divorce on the ground of her husband's adultery. Major Entwistle, who introduced the measure, commended it as one of simple justice and equity, and said that it was universally de- manded by the women of the country. The day had gone by, he argued, when a wife could be regarded as a chattel of her bus- band. In his view the punishment in- flicted by judicial separation was greater than that involved in divorce. If there were two standards of morality the tendency was to accept the lower standard.

Mr. Denis Herbert, who moved the rejection of the Bill, said he did so on the ground that it was not desiṛuble, that the marriage contract should be terminable and dissoluble by the consent of the parties. The present laws wore a fraud and a sham, but if the Bill were passed it would put an almost insuperable obstacle in the way of reforming them. They must get rid alto- gether of the right to dissolve a marriage by reason of a single set of adullery. His suggestion was that it should be à cause of divorce when, in the "caso, of either party, it was repeated or became habitual, Equality between the sexes," he said, was one of those catch pumsas which were often ignorantly used as there any member of the House who was the father of a son

and a daughter who, would regard adultery by a daughter in the same light as ha would adultery lay a soks? Why not?" asked the Labour members.

"Des the hon member teach his children that?" inquire Mr. Pringle. Mr. Herbert replied that he was not advocating any low stand- ard of morality.

Sir Henry Craik, who opposed the Bill, said the doctrine of equality of the In sexes was not true to haman mature. his view, marriage was a tie which ought Sir John to be permanent through life. Simon twitted Sir Hoary Orik on his. opposition, seeing that the measure they proposed had been the law of Scotland for three centuries and a ball. If they did not pass the Bill they would give rise to the impression that they were setting up a lower standard for men than for women.

Mr. Heimerde condemned the "hum- bug" of the order for the restitution of conjugal rights. A Judge, he said, made an order that the hushand should return in fourteen days, although he knew that the wife did not want him to return. If he was a gentleman he did not return. If he was not a gentleman he did returu. The unfortunate woman who sought a divorce was thus entirely at the mercy of her hus band. The Courts of law, he alleged, were honeycombed with collusion. If one was wealthy enough to employ a lawyer to get round it, then the way was clear and Löne could get a divorce. "If one was poor and made a mistake, one would find one- self in the position of being prosecuted for conspiracy.

Mr. Bridgeman said that the Goveru- ment would not oppose the Bill, but he viewed with alarm any prospect of the introduction into it at later stag-s of the abominable propomla of Lord Buck. master's Bill..

QUEEN OF TYPISTS,

GIRL CHAMPION OF EUROPE WHO EARNS 21,000 A YEAR.

At the Business Efficiency Exhibition of the Central Hall, Westrainster, recently was a slight girl with fair hair. She fa Miss Millicent Woodward, who has held for the past two years the speed champion- ship of Europe

She is the chief demonstrator for the manufacturers of the Royal Typewriter, and earns probably the highest salary paid to a typist in this country-21,000 a year.

She sat at a raised table, with her type- writer before her elbow. She rattled away on the keys as fast as she could read. She typed two passages of prose at 150 words a minute, and then, tying a handkerchief over her eyes, typed another passage of the same speed.

"1 have been a typist for about ten years," she said, "and suppose my Gugers must be made for the work, for won the Junior Championship of England after I had learnt typing only three months. My greatest speed is 173 words a minute from dictation, and a little more when I am copying. I can keep up a speed of 130 to 185 words a minute for an hour from dictation,"

Even when blindfolded Miss Woodward's work is without a mistake, and remarkable" for its actness and evenness of spacing. Her hands are insured by her firm for $25,000.
