Ladies' Logic. By Oswald St. Clair. (Digby, Long, and Co.
Is.) —In this "Dialogue between a Suffragette and a Mere Man" the ultimo& ratio, the superior physical fore* of mere man, is put forward in a forcible way. The "dialogue" is written in easy and vigorous English, and though Miss Kate has naturally the worst of it, the reasoning that is put into her mouth is not with- out force. Mr. St. Clair's original contribution to the discussion is the idea of a "House of Ladies." An Assembly of women, elected by women, would have its use in the government of the country. It might send Bills to Parliament, criticise Bills sent from Parliament, nominate Members to sit on Committees—on any social question the authoritative voice of such an Assembly would have great weight—and even, it is tentatively suggested, have a representative in the Cabinet.
