cant one for women and has brought
them more of political freedom than
most persons realize.
Norway granted full parliamentary
suffrage to women.
Sweden made women eligible to mu
nicipal offices.
Denmark gave women the right to
wot for members of the board of
public charities and made them eligi

Grout Britain mude women eligible
as town councillors, mayors and al
dermen, and at the fall elections
three women were elected municipal
councillors In England and one in
Scotland.
The cabinet ministers of the Neth
erlands drafted o revised constitution
which was approved by the council of
state and has been placed before par
liament; It provides for tho ballot for
women and makes them eligible to
office.
The Young liberal party of Havnila
voted unanimously to Invito women to
Join all Its branch societies as soon us
the prospective change takes place In
the luw of the empire, which forbids
women to be members of any politi
cal association.
Women voted for the first tlmo In

majority of any disfranchised class
petitioned for suffrage when the ma

Parliamentary suffrage was granted,
to Russian women on the same terms
as to men, except that the froniorl
must vote by prosy. I
