they said was fnaudible, because their
words were drowned by volume OF
misses from the audience. The King
and Queen meanwhile were smiling.
The women's Intellectual efforts TO
make themselves heard occupied little
more than a minute. because the man
agement was on the lookout for some
such disturbance and quickly elected
the women from the box. While they
were leaving, several suffragettes in
the gallery threw down lot Of sulfra-

The demonstration was planned by
