Women in the Birthday Honours: Though there is a fair sprinkling of women in the Honours List many names are conspicuously absent. In the honours conferred on Madame Albani, already announced in these columns, Lady St. Helier, Miss Lumsden, Miss Beadsmore Smith, Mrs. Wills, and Lady Cook, the services of women in the sphere of art, education, public work, and nursing have been recognized. Among others whose names appear we are pleased to notice Mrs. Hume Pinsent, whose work for the welfare of the feeble-minded deserves recognition, and Councillor Cox, of the Salvation Army, who have been awarded the G.B.E. Local Government is represented by Councillor Margaret Pilkington, of St. Helens, and Councillor Miss Henrietta Bartlett, of Birmingham. We have no space to mention other names, but one honour which strikes us as peculiarly well-deserved is that which falls to Miss Margaret Isabel Willden, Matron of the Leper Settlement, Botsabelo, Basutoland.
