science Now Zealand Is just now the mos: In
teresting part OF the planet. Principles and
theories are undergoing tho test OF practical
application. What is known as adult su'-

women have accepted their new dignity with
enthusiasm and are availng themselves OF
every opportunity to prepare them selves for
their duties. A permanent Noman's Political
League has been formed which has promptly
completed its organization and decided on its
platform. The main objects sought are equal
rights Of women with men. an enlarged share
IN administrative work. and legislative enact
ments on such subjects IA gambling cruelty
to animals. and the liquor traffic. Seats in
Parliament will probably follow In due course

enjoyed tho right of franchise II seems that
some OF the ladies seated in the stalls OF n
theatre were wearing hats which interfered
with the view of those sitting behind
them. n circumstance mt altogether un-
known in New York. Suddenly male voice
from the pit exclaimed in u tone OF pathetic
remembrance. Ladies'. now you have got tho
franchise. you might really take your hats on :"

were women In the theatre That realized that
