why they take hold Of team work so much more
readily than girls"
DR.. Gulick was down TO speak on two subjects

Sir: VIII you extend TO the courtesy of
little Of your space for a few remarks anent the
recent demonstration outside the House Of Com

Mrs. Despard? This lady. who is the sister of
General French, the famous British cavalry lead
Of the Boer war. is Of the sweetest and
nobest women in London. She IS well past middle
age and has spent her whole life ia trying to help
the poor and afflicted Of the London sums It was
because she realized how comparatively useless
charity is 10 the sores Of social organism
and how necessary 1t is TO be able to directly In
iuence legislation that she threw in her lot with
facing ridicule, insult and indignity in the nope
OF attaining the power to legislation

Mrs. DespaTds life and character the best
answer to those who accuse us Of unwOmanliuess
and Of seeking notorioty. No who has seen
that splendid old face instinct with fighting Cour-
age and the great eyes fun Of love Of the human
would believe any Of the cheap criticisms
which thrown at the demonstrators Of last
Wednesday.
Sometimes, when ! hear the feeble and the fu-
tile who condemn methods and dcnounce
leaders, I wonder how, weighed in the balance
their lives would show against the life Of n
like Mrs Despard, who seeking justice for her op-
pressed sisters, IS willing, after long life OF
vice, to brave calumny. and even physical injury.
for the cause IN which she and we all devouty
believe. Yours faithfully.
