A Feminine Parliament.
"A Fein." i u P irlirment " is the title of an a: 'he Globe on the. Woman's Cot a tin. on which recently met in Chr: lrib It gives a brief and sufficiently readable account of what took place on the occasion, and, of course, kughs good-naturedly over the ambitions and aspirations of New Zealand political women. The resolution passed, " that in all cases where a woman elects to superintend her household and to be the mother of children, there shall be a law attaching a certain just share of her husband's earnings or income for her separate use, payable, if she so desires, into her own separate account,'' it styles " audacious," and says that it has " a strong flavor of the new woman " about it.

For the rest, the article is merely a description of what took place at the convention, and is not interesting.
