Mhnt n Woman Cnnnn.

Queen Victorias career is cited as an
instance of what a woman can do. For
fifty odd years her premiers and officers
of State succeeded to keeping her mouth
closed, and so directed her official work
as to keep the best foot foremost. Being
a woman, however, it was only n ques-
ton of time until she asserted herself.
That time came when John Brown, the
turnkey, died. The premiers and mobiles
of high estate could no longer seal those
womanly lips, nor hold that womanly
tongue in allegiance. She talked, IN
dulged in poetry, built cairns and wrote
a book full of twaddle. Since then Vie
toria is regarded as u woman with the
rest of them. In fact, she is accused of
having big feet, of being fat and coarse,
i'll tempered and cranky. But these do
not make her any the less a model wo-
man. Are her freaks and cranks not
thoroughly wOmanish? She would be Il
phenomenal woman If she were not so.
