Women Abroad
STRONG contrast was provided in two talks by women which I heard from 2YA within a week. The first, by Dr. Mary Bryson, "A Woman SurgeonLieutenant in the Royal Navy," and the second, a Passport talk by Mrs, J. Bellwood on the Baltic States. Dr. Bryson’s talk was typically women’s session stuff in that it dealt with the lighter side of war experience, depending for its interest largely ‘on the incongruities occasioned by the fact that Dr, Bryson served in the Royal Navy and not in the WRNS. It was, within its limits, good entertainment. Mrs. Bellwood, in a beautifully "written talk, gave us a swiftly delineated but not sketchy picture of the three Baltic States, Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania, their previous history and their present dilemma, and conveyed something of the horror of that succession of occupations by Russian, by German, and again by Russian forces., The Passport session has been rich in good talks, but Mrs. Bellwood’s must rank among the best we have so | far heard.
