WOMEN’S STATUES.
_..—..._. FEMINIST DISCOVERY. V (Times Air Mail). . LONDON, April 2!. A feminist movement in Paris has discovered that there are only four statues of famous women there, and has protested against the perpetration in stone of so many ugly men, says the Evening Standard. London has a few more female statues, but not enough to satisfy the feminists. There are several statues of Queen Victoria, one of Queen Elizabeth, two of Queen Anne and one of Queen Charlotte—to say nothing of Boadicea on the Embankment. But the only non-royal women commemorated by statues in London are .\lrs Siddons. Florence Nightingale and Edith vCaveii. There are tablets to such women as Fanny Burney, George Eliot, Elizabeth Barrett Browning. Christina Rossetti and Mrs Gaskell. _—
