LONDON SHOCKS THE SCOTTISH LASSIES.

DISGUSTED TO SEE WOMÁN

SMOKE IN, HOTEL.:

London shocked the 12 Scottish fisher girls who arrived to take part in the Lord Mayor's Show,

They had breakfast at a London hotel in the morning, and saw a sight never seen in the little village of Newhaven, near Leith, where they live.

After breakfast a woman guest at the hotel took out a cane, lit a cigarette, and began to smoke.",

V. Miss Sophin Wilson, the only un- married woman in the party, de scribed the incident with indigna- tion to a Press representative who met the fisher girls at lunch.

ed,

"It was disgustin'," she exclafm-i

"1 wadna' hac thocht a wumman wad she had defiled her moo

This is Miss Wilson's first visit to London, but when she was asked what she thought of it, all she could say was that it was awfu dirty, and wanted a good wash, and

to Edin-: could not be compared burgh..

But her face lit up with pleasure when she spoke of the kindly wel- come which Lady Waterlow, the new Lady Mayoress, herself Edinburgh woman, had, given them at the station..

an

Lady Waterlow told the fisher fellow-country- girls that as 'n woman she was proud of them,. and that pleased them all.

Lovely Complexions,

"All these fisher girls, young and oki, have lovely complexions. They say hard work is responsible, and that paint and powder are no more known among the women of New- haven than cigarettes and drink.

Mrs. King reminded a Presa re- Blic presentative that years ago came to London with a deputation to interview Mr. Lloyd George on the enfranchisement of women.

'She was an ardent suffragette during the most exciting days of the votes for women struggles.

All the fisher girls were dressed in their best, and wherever they went on their tour of London they were admired, for they looked most picturesque In their striped petti- coats, silk hadices, and beautiful Paisley shawla,

Grandmothers' Clothes,

"These are the clothes our grand- mothers wore when they were at work," said Mrs, Milne,

"Sometimes they had on as many og half a dozen petticoata. We wear blue flannel dresses now which we are at work, but we've put on our best for London,

"Years ago,,when Queen Victoria came to Newhaven, she said she was pleased with the welcome that she got, but she thought we might have put on our best dressen.

"Well, we have them on now, and

we hope London will like them.”

WITTY SPEECH BY MISS MEGAN.

MR. J. H. THOMAS LIKE A TORY MINISTER.

WORLD TRAVEL SERVICE

YOUR

Miss Megan Lloyd George was the guest of the National Liberal Club at the fortnightly luncheon recently, and delighted a large.com. pany with a very bright and witty speech.

Lord Beauchamp, who was in the chair, said she almost started them by the similarity of her oratory to that of Mr. Lloyd George.

"When my father in inclined to be depressed, and that is very rare ly," said Miss Megan with a smile, "he takes down a little volume wherein you may find all the re- sults of the last General Election. It is a very companionable little volume. There is comfort of soul to be found in it.

Increased Votes,

"If you turn up the constituen cies where we fought in 1924 and again at the last election, you will find that there are 220 seats where the increase in the Liberal vote is greater than that of one or other of the other two parties. There are nearly 100 seats where the in- crease in the Liberal vote is greater than the inereuse of both the other parties."

'Interrupted by Sir John Simon, who sat next to her, Miss Lloyd George stretched out her hands and exclaimed in mock distress, "I don't like being cross-examined by Sir John.

"Mr. Thomas's scheme for re- Beving unemployment falls very far short of the Liberal unemployment police," she remarked a little later; "He could have gone many leagues further without even catching up with the Liberal policy. In fact, we have left him so far behind that, looking back, wo can hardly distin- guish him from a Tory Minister,”
