That was a grand report made to Congress by the men and women of the "Alcohol Commission" of 1910. It is said to have been principally written by the chairwoman of the Commission, who was then, and continues to be still, Professor of Political Economy in Harvard University. Local option in nine-tenths of our States, with prohibition of dram-shops everywhere: what a change from a century ago!

'Now, I am Chairwoman of Committees! cries Lady Tippins. 'And this, pursues the sprightly one, 'is a Committee of the whole House to what-you-may-call-it elicit, I suppose the voice of Society. The question before the Committee is, whether a young man of very fair family, good appearance, and some talent, makes a fool or a wise man of himself in marrying a female waterman, turned factory girl.

'To keep the world from slipping into chaos? he inquired genially. She hadn't heard. Her eyes were fastened on the chairwoman. 'After all, they've got Ernestine, Vida exulted under her breath. Borrodaile fell to studying this aspect of the face whose every change he had thought he knew so well. What was the new thing in it?

Some of those juniors had just made up their minds to give trouble. You tackled them marvellously." "I wasn't going to give in to them!" declared Merle. "I meant to stop their ragging if I had to go round and box all their ears. Well! They know now they have to behave themselves or I'll know the reason why! But oh, Mavis! I don't think Muriel will ever forgive me for being chairwoman." "Why not?"

"You must get it straight. You can't start all at sixes and sevens. I protest too." "We all three protest," said Miss Farmer, frowning and blinking in an agony of protest. "Silence, if you please, for the Chairwoman," said Miss Gilchrist. "May we not say one word?" "You may," said Rosalind, "in your turn. I now call on Miss Blackadder to speak."

I don't know anything peculiar in my position. One would suppose that I was going to be made a sort of female bishop, or to sit all my life as a chairwoman, like that Miss Mildmay. Of course I laugh when things are said that make me laugh. And as for Captain De Baron, I think he is very nice.

"There is to be a vote of thanks to Miss Mildmay as Chairwoman," said the bald-headed old man, "and we hope, Lady George, that you will favour us with a few words." Her heart utterly gave way and the blood flew into her cheeks, and she thoroughly repented of having come to this dreadful place.

They racked their brains and gazed helplessly at the ceiling, while the Chairwoman begged for remarks, after the manner of all Committees since the world began. Then, at last, someone hazarded a suggestion, someone else took it up and added a fresh idea; and the ball, once set rolling, grew bigger and bigger, until, at last, there it was, complete and formed before them!

Her trembling and fear had come back to her. "The dear child is frightened, Miss Mackenzie," said Mrs. Naylor. "I hope not," said Miss Mackenzie; "but I as chairwoman am obliged to question her. Ruth Craven, is it true that you became a member of a silly schoolgirl society called the Wild Irish Girls, and that you wore a badge like this?" Ruth nodded. "Don't nod to me. Speak."

"By every constitutional means," Miss Burstall amended, and was told by Miss Gilchrist that, if she desired proceedings to be regular, she must not interrupt the Chairwoman. " To oppose the Government that refuses us the vote, whatever Government it may be, regardless of party, by every means in our power." Rosalind's sentences were punctuated by a rhythmic sound of tapping.
