WOMEN UNDER AN AGNOSTIC REGIME.

[To THE EDITOR OF THE "SPECTATOR,"]

Srn,—Through absence from home, I have only this week -observed Miss Tod's answer to your article on "Women under an Agnostic Regime," and the note you have appended to it.

My knowledge of the question raised by your assertion has been gained over a space of nine years' residence in London, and amongst women whose names are known as leaders in causes intellectual, moral, and social. I am confident that it is only a small minority of these "incline to disbelieve all received opinions on religion," and all my experience tends to show that the claims of our age are bringing to the front rank women of intelligent and positive faith.—I am, Sir, &c., CONSTANCE L. MAYNARD.
