No Women Lawyers for England.

American women have many oppo--
tunities and privileges that are denied
their English cousins. The most re
cent thing in which this has beei.
shown is the refusal of the specia,

and to defend them in the courts OF!
law of that country. and her request
has been refused she. in pleading
her own cause, told the DC wiggad cour,
that not only did women success ally

her sisters were admitted 10 the bar i.
Vienna. Switzerland and in Holland
But all to no avail. for the house OF
lords could find no precedent for ad-
Uniting this young woman. and they
did not seem inclined to make one for
those who might wish TO follow in hcr
footsteps.
Miss Cave has hot been discouraged
however. by the refusal OF her request.
She says that she will again knock
for admittance rs a barrister. and will
continue TO ask TO be allowed to prac-
tice law on English soil until her re-
quest is granted.
This young woman told the judges
that she had taken IN her legal studies
for the express purpose of entering
the legal profession and that she
should some day. even if in the dis
tant future, do SO. Her sisters in this

a Fine Distinction.

The use of slang by educated young
women would seem 10 be alarminSiy
on the increase. Alarmingly. because
the use of slang is not an indication
of refinement. and because. so far from
strengthening our means OF expression
il very greatly impoverishes il
There is nothing more forceful than
plain English. and when one reflects
upon the fact that ours is the most
comprehensive and composite language
in the world, the conclusion seems OBJ
vious that the legitimate words con-
tanned in the dictionary ought TO sui
flee for every need of expression. The
effort TO coin words is result of neg
Letting the study of our language.
4 very amusing thing To notice is
the distinction between fashionable anc
questionable slang. One gathers
from observation that while great
deal OF slang is regarded shudderin2i!
some varieties of j; are considered
admissible for their girls use by thu
most careful mothers. Kid is no"
