UWENLLIAN E. F. MORGAN.

MAYOR OF BRECON, 1910-11. . The satisfaction felt not only, by the i people of Brecon, but by all men and women interested in good municipal work, in the Mayoralty of Miss Morgan was well expressed, when the- town's first woman Mayor was presented with her portrait, painted by Mr. John Cooke, of-Chelsea, says "The Queen." The picture slwvs Miss Morgan in her robes and chain of office, and the inscription runs:—"Presented to Miss Gwenllian E. F. Morgan, Coronation. Mayor of Brecon, 1910-11, by 916 women to commemorate her being the first woman in Wales to be elected Mayor, and. by her given to the. borough of Brecon."

When the ceremony took place so many people wished to participate in it that between three and four hundred had to bo turned away- The Mayoress (Mra. Conway Lloyd) presided, and the unveiling itself was performed by the Lord Lieutenant and Lady Glnnusk, who, drawing a6ide flags—the dragon of Wales and the Union Jack—disclosed the picture. Lady Glanusk 'also presented Miss Morgan with a beautifully-bound album in crimson morocco, which contained an illuminated address signed by the subscribers, amongst whose names were Lady Glanusk, Mrs. J. Conway Lloyd, Mrs.. Sidney Robinson, the Duchess of Beaufort, Adeline Duchess of Bedford, Lady Henry Somerset, Lady Battersoa, .Lady St* Davids, the Hon. Mrs. Devereux, the Hon. Mts. Eliot TOrke, the Hon. Mrs. Cowpor Coles, Lady Salt, Lady Edwards, Baroness Cederstrom, the Mayor of Oldham, 1910li (Mra. Lees), Lady Lockyer, and members of the Women's Local Government Society, who also presented a resolution of congratulation. Miss Morgan not only proved a most hard-working: and capable Mayor, brft she has achieved distinction in various ways. She is an authority in particular on the works of Henry Vaughan, the Silurist, about whom she has written union. Since public calls have rather draw her away from .literary and antiquarian work she has.served as a member of the County Committee, end at the present she is much occupied with her duties as member of two advisory committees for tho administration of the Insurance Act, as chairman of the Sanatorium County Committee, and of tho BreconshiTe- Associatiou of Friendly Societies. If any prejudices existed in this part of Wales concerning the suitability of women for municipal work they have auite vanished now.
