The New Woman.

With the triumphs of Amy Johnson and Janet Gaynor fresh in our minds, we felt that there must be in our midst many roses not born to blush unseen. We decided that the policy of this paper must be to give that publicity to our notable women which is accorded to the giantesses of the air and the silver screen. Therefore we make no apology in recording these interviews, at the same time offering our thanks to those who have unwittingly consented to be interviewed.

No. 1—Miss Ilma Levy: Or "O.D.T.A.A.'

"No, I only like about five people altogether up here. Why? Oh, the rest are such a wretched lot. No, I don't like any of the men at all. Oh, perhaps there are two or three exceptions. No, I certainly do not like Mr. Reardon. I did once, but a strange dislike has been growing during the last few weeks. I'm beginning to know him better. I don't care if Dorothy Roberts does like Mr. Reardon. One woman's meat may be another woman's poison. Mr. Plank? Oh, I don't think about him at all. Why don't I like Mr. Miller? Ask Mr. Miller. No, I don't like having to write about the women students in 'Spike' and 'Smad,' but someone has to do it, and people shouldn't be sensitive about things like that. No, I'm not sensitive—except perhaps sometimes. It depends upon the people concerned. But you're not to say anything like that about me in 'Smad.' I take long steps when I walk because I find I arrive there much earlier of course. I call that the Ilman System of logic. I once took Logic. Anyway, Mr. Reardon trots about just like a spaniel, and I think that's a far worse mode of progress. I must really go. I'm reeling so tired, and, besides, I want to talk to page 9 someone else. Oh, yes, it is true about the day I entered for the examinations. They handed me ten shillings and sixpence change and I said I thought I'd better take another subject as well. I don't think that's a scrap funny. Besides, Helen was far worse than I. She took her 10/6 and spent it. Oh, well, I'm going now. Good-bye."

Among those who have promised us interviews next year are Julia Dunn, Dorothy Spence-Sales and Sheila Marshall.

Margaret Gibbs.—Sorry we have nothing to tell you about this interesting young lady this month. But she is sure to do something worth recording during the holidays.
