The Rev. Anna NJ. Shaw was delegate
10 the National w. &. Il. u. convention in
Boston, from the Woman's National

distressed to learn that her husband is the
sole legal owner of the child, and that ac-
cordng TO law, she has no more rights in
her own child than she has in the Emperor
of China's children.

In writing OF the queens apartments at
Windsor Castle. Elizabeth B. Custer says
There was nothing In these gorgeous
rooms that stays by me. There seemed
to me miles OF corridors, draw.

and boudoirs, all glitter and glow.
The usual gilt and ormolu marble and
onyx, gloss OF satin and rich stufYs,
the dazzle of luminous glass per-
vaded the entire suit OF apartments. We
kept looking for some room where there
might be- trace OF LONELINESS. We
longed TO see a work-basket, even II her
majesty doesn't do needlework. and sit
ting room where there might be an ordi-
nary writing desk. a bookcase with some
well-thumbed volumes. or a ohair-an
American rocking chair even, In which a
loving mother had rocked her babies to
sleep.
The doors were closed on the queens
and prince consort's bedroom, but in
genious inquiries caused the old house,
keeper TO give up their secrets. There
was no difference. They lived In there, In
state, and begin to think my childish
ideas, that kings and queens slept In their
crowns, was not far wrong.
