"OSTSCRIPTS TO MEN."
THE DOWNTRODDEN FAIR SEX. CONGRESS OP WOMEN. By Cable—Press Association—Copyright Received June 7, 10.15 p.m. London, June 7. Sir George Reid, K.C., at the opening of the Congress of Women held in the Anglo-Japanese Exhibition, said that every country must work out its own political franchise. In the past the women were regarded as a sort of "postscript" to man, and not half as important as the postscript of a lady's letter. That state of affairs had completely changed. Queen Elizabeth was formerly 6aid°to be the exception which proved the rule that women were unfit to rule, but Queen Victoria proved that Queen Elizabeth was no "fluke." (Prolonged cheers.)
