[FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT. }

LONDON, April 16th.

This week all doubts are set at rest as regards the Cabinet's inten- tions on the question of the exten- sion of the franchise to girls on reaching the age of 21. They are to have a Parliamentary vote on the same tering as men. It matters not at all that there has been no real demand for the vote for women at that age.

For their part women are more concerned at that interest ing period of life (as a rule) over the latest style in hats, or the best kind of powder for the nose. This is not necessarily my opinion; give it as a faithful summary in a few words of countless lending articles in the newspapers, and as Lan indication of what is to be heard

in conversation.
