LONDON. July 20— Of all the suf

alist.
He says that during his stay there
he met a good many aristocrats who
were obliged to work for the first tim *
n their lives.
“Some were certainly angry-” he
went on- “and a few were tearful. It
may have been chance- but the major
ity of those whom I happened to meet
especially the women- were remark
ably spirited and even gay.
“I sat once in a drawing room in
which each lady in turn began to re
count her experiences in getting work.
Most had succeeded. Most had met
with courtesy and helpfulness. Thes>
ladies seemed amusingly proud to dis
cover that as linguists* teachers or
musicans- they had a value, and a
rather high value- in the labor market.
“The women in this company were
much happier than the men- obviously
| because the revolution had emancipat
ed them and ended a somewhat Idle
and useless existence.”
