Brittany Girls Who

Dire Postwar Poverty in

Force Women of Middle
Glass to Earn Own Living


LONDON, June 26 (By rail - Before
the war the Brittany folks were as
famed as the Scots for their hospi-
table manners, writes Viviane lie
Grand in The London Daily Express.
Whenever you entered a tumbledown,
hovel-like farm where an old dame
sat often at the spinning wheel and
welcomed you in Celtic language, you
were sure to be invited to partake of
the lard aux choux (pork. cabbage and
potatoes) simmering in the large cal
dron hanging over q wood fire. And if
the farmwife happened to be making
crepes de BILE noir (buckwheat pan

with butter and smeared with yolk of

salad, cheese, and butter for un franc

country the staple foods of the peonle

dearer than it was. Pork. which l
used to buy at sd. a pound, is worth
fourteen times as much; mutton and
veal are equally dear; and beef the
cheapest Of all meats, is yet francs

Eggs are worth rs. and IS. dozen as
against Is. in prewar times. Ncge-
tables are as expensive as jewels. A

Swedish Women
Obtain Rig hi to
Occupy Pulpit

MANCHESTER, England, June 81
BY Mai! THE Swedcs are taking the
leadership regarding their laws con-
corning women, according to The Man
chester Guardian. At the beginning Of
THIS year the franchise was granted to
the women of Sweden on equal terms
with the men. At the same time, in
order to clear the way for radical
| changes, the law prohibiting the ao-
MISSION OF women into any public serv-
ice was rescinded and royal re-
xislonsl commission appointed, with
ffu Emilia Broome as chairman. to
thrash out the matter and submit a
report to Parliament with a PROPOSE
ton for consideration. This admirable
method is frequently used in Sweden
or appointing commission of experts
ano representatives of the people con-
cerned, to dlsentangle knotty matters
and make a suitable recommendation
to Parliament. ''>''' y VII
"A scandinavian paper, Invita- Banlet
relates the following recent occurrence
IN Norway. A theological student, Fru
Marta Steinvik, was invited by rector
20 preach IN his church at an evening
service. whereupon great conflict
arose as to whether this had been
legal. One of the bishops, Supported
by most Of the clergy and professors.
clted the Norwegian law, which clearly
forbIds women to preach at public
services; but another paragraph of the
law grants this right to theological
students. Apparently it had not &C.
Cured to any one that women theolor
zeal students might claim this priv
lege.
With its usual. foresight the Nor
weglan Women's National Council
C"Norska kvinnors Automatically
promptly sent a deputation requesting
the presidency of the Norwegian Diet
to work for law granting women the
right of ordination. After deliberation
in the church and school committee
and discussion in the Diet the sane
ton was granted unanimously.
Among the speakers on the question
was Gunnar Knudsen. former Minister
OF State. This. stanch defender of all
franchise for women said that, even
should it take q long while before one
could overcome general opinion, h.
would still urge consent to the PROPOSE
ton. He held that the ecclesiastical
vocation was especially the woman's
province. and that the proposition was
consistent with intellectual and Chris
t!an interests It is significant that
the vote in favor was unanimous.

Naturally, the stamp of the serpent

clocks. engagement books and blotters
side by side with cigarette boxes and
eases, card eases, and even dumpy foot
stools.
The serpent is determined to secure
Ewes downfall in one way If not in
another.
But the wise woman will make sure
that she is either Of the sinuous,
"slnky" type or blessed with a touch
of diablere before she yields to temp

Snakeskin is not for the simply

Otherwise turn n deaf ear to the
