Tales of Well Known Folk In SOCiEil 2}{17‘(71‘ Official Life Britain's Queen Warmly Espoused Cause of Women Barristers Who Were Denied Right to Practice Law. RY MARGARET B. DOWNING. Queen Mary of Britain. according to the opinion of all those who write inti- mate personal sketches. frowns on the advance of women and constantly talks of the age-old duties of home. But such is not the idea conveved by her warm espousal of the e of women barristers who, though passing the most brilliant examinations in England. were kept out of actual practice. Not very long ago Miss Helena Normanton. Riter Parliament had removed all barriers for those who pass the tests, irrespective of sex, was admitted to the middle tem- Ple. and thus became the pioneer of women in the law in the British capital although Miss Crystabel Pankhurst had . ciamored at the doors of Temple Inn for five vears, Miss Normanton and Miss Pankhurst recently invited the several hundred lawyers now in practice in London to a reception and usked the Queen to meet them ciously con- senting. her majesty t nearly an hour inspecting the feminine quarters of the grim old Temple Inn, where so much legal history has been written fiction also, for Miss Punkhurst, valiant elebrated suffragette. occupies the chambers so vividly d scribed in “Bleak House.” and where the sinister Tulkinhorn was shot by the French maid.

Her epirams snd humorous comments are freely referred to in the circle of her friends and her opinion on_political affairs Is. avidly sought. Likewise the new books of ‘§hich she thinks well are eagerly read Nrs. Borah spent her girlhood in Wash- Fgton when her father, the late Wil- liam J. McConnell, was in the Senate serving the short term decreed after the State had been admitted into the Unibo’ Gov. McConnell had filled the guber- natorial chair in the territorial days of 1daho and later became goverior of the State. but his daughter—Maniie s she ic called in the family circle though she always signs herself ' Mary—ve: ) mained to complete her education in| Washington.

Jadwin's schem #rol has entirely changed the the battlefield of Chalmette, which les on the Mississippi south of New Orleans. After every inundation the ground on which Gen. Andrew Jackson's defense army stood in January. 1815, has beer washed away. and the old Villiere man- afon, into which Gen. Edward Paken- ham, commander of the British forces, was carried mortally wounded. long since crumbled. and its ruins were final- v burned—probably accidentally, as the vesult of Spring clearing of debris. Graves of soldiers buried after the ba tle have been removed inland, and these included Britons and the few who died under Old Hickory. Many Confederate soldiers found a last resting place on the battle ground of Chalmette. Tow- ering over the scene is the obelisk put up to commemorate this useless loss of life. for Gen. Jackson led his army to vietory over the superior forces of the British after the Peace of Ghent had already been signed and this republic had made the terms of amnesty. The new levee which it part of the scheme for flood control encroaches almost to the center of the martial field and will place the monument on the river front instead of at the center of the battle ground. s. o Princess Martha of Sweden whose | warning.
