From Italy to England by way Of Cane Ann.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE Sus-!sn, The glass
fronted case displaying undelivercd letters In the
post ONCE OF a large Massachusetts fishing town
has for the last week or 80 contained \ letter nd
dressed In a very leglble hand to an ancient city
OF the same name In England. When an D~nncial's
attention was called to the fact he asked whore
there was anything about England on the envelope.
and on being informed that a large "IrghntcrrR'
IN the corner referred 10 that country he accsrtri
the statement trustingly and gratefully. crossed the
italian word out, wrote England" underneath aud
prepared To s-nd II back across the Atlantic.
The letter had been mailed from n town In the
south OF Italy. Perhaps II was one of those towns
from which the entire adult male population has
emlgrated to this country. leaving none but tn"
women. the children and the saints" behind. The
mistake was made In Italy. OF course. and It sug
gcsts how familiar the names ~ our towns are
over there compared with those ~ other foreign
countries. IL also illustrates Mr.. Brycs's CON
plant about the drawbacks Of indulging In new
Troys and SeamAndcTs.' though In this particular
case the new Troy" Is by now a pretty old plac,

Tn. Norwegian women In Politics.

To THE EDITOR or The SUN-Sir; The women
In Norway have had for several years a right to
vote In all municipal matters. such as local option,
school boards and election OF town councillors.
They have been members OF the town council for
several years and OF the school boards for many
years. but they have not been satisfied with this.
They have been ~agitating all the time for equal
political privilege with the men.
Women are now eligible to the national assembly
on equal terms with men. and can be elected mem
hers Of the Storthing when thirty years OF age.
Ne shall probably by next election see women
sitting In the Storthing as lawmakers.
