affectionate father. Like many other good men, he is in sympathy
with the Woman's Movement: "not thinking it is coming in his
time."

ANNYS CHILVERS [nee Mogton, Hon. Sec. Women's Parliamentary
Franchise League] A loving wife, and (would-be) affection mother.
Many thousands of years have gone to her making. A generation ago,
she would have been the ideal woman: the ideal helpmeet. But new
ideas are stirring in her blood, a new ideal of womanhood is
forcing itself upon her.

LADY MOGTON [President W.P.F.L.] She knows she would be of more
use in Parliament than many of the men who are there; is naturally
annoyed at the Law's stupidity in keeping her out.

PHOEBE MOGTON [Org. Sec. W.P.F.L.] The new girl, thinking more of
politics than of boys. But that will probably pass.

JANET BLAKE [Jt. Org. Sec. W.P.F.L.] She dreams of a new heaven
and a new earth when woman has the vote.

MRS. MOUNTCALM VILLIERS [Vice-President W.P.F.L.] She was getting
tired of flirting. The Woman's Movement has arrived just at the
right moment.

ELIZABETH SPENDER [Hons. Treas. W.P.F.L.] She sees woman
everywhere the slave of man: now pampered, now beaten, but ever
the slave. She can see no hope of freedom but through warfare.

MRS. CHINN A mother.
