_Tuesday, May 27th._--It is odd that the House of Lords, which has
done so much for the emancipation of women still refuses to allow
peeresses in their own right to take part in its debates. They would
have been very useful this afternoon, when two Bills affecting
their sex were under discussion. An extraordinary amount of heat was
developed by the Nurses Registration Bill, introduced by Lord GOSCHEN,
and I am sure some of the charming ladies in the Strangers' Gallery
must have been longing to produce their clinical thermometers and
descend to the floor to take the temperatures of the disputants.
