Woman Agricultural Student.

« — __ Agricultural experts at Dookie Agricultural College Victoria have weighed Mks lreno (Lowe,' their first woman student, in the balance, and have not found her wanting. . Cheerfully she undertakes even the most menial tasks such as cleaning out the pig%es, with never a word of protest. Out of earshot her men colleagues call her Eve or The Kid. Out in tho open she looks a picturesque figure in a brown divided skirt, blue dungaree overall and a scarlet" woollen cap. When engaged in dirty work she slips a hessiau pinafore over her farming garb. Miss Lowe is a sturdily built Australian, with light brown hair and a clear, rosy complexion that is dazzling in its loveliness. She prefers the 'practical farming work to priming, budding, or flower culture.
