APPEAL TO WOMEN
Sir,-Your "Appeal to Women" discussion reminds me of a story written by either Lotte or Liza Lehmann when one or the other was a child, : "Once upon a time, there was a very beautiful lady whose husband had gone to the Crusades. He was away for 10 years. Then one morning to her great joy, the wife found her brave husband standing on the doorstep, having returned from his deeds of valour, She kissed him lovingly on the brow and led him into the house and up the stairs to the nursery. Her cheeks glowed with joy as she flumg open the door and showed him 10 beautiful children romping round the room. "There," she said, looking proudly up at her gallant husband, "I, too, have not been idle while you were away fighting in the cause of Honour." Do you think that little Lotte (or Liza) unconsciously thought that "Experience" on both sides made "the Sapphire of Fidelity — the gem of Mutual Peace" between the returned husband and the very left-behind wife? Good heavens, no! She still believed in storks!
