As Miss Flora Shaw, Lady Lugard, who at present resides in Hong Kong - her husband having been appointed Governor and Commander-in-chief of Hong Kong in 1907 - earned great fame as a journalist. This is the lady who acted as Colonial specialist to the "Times," and who for that paper undertook many special commissions into South Africa, Australia, Canada, and the Klondyke. Indeed, there are few corners of the world which

Lady Lugard has not visited. She is an adept at " roughing it," has turned out three columns of copy in the desert with a portmanteau for a writing-table, and tramped the goldfields of Klondyke at the time of the boom. Lady Lugard is certainly one of the most interesting feminine figures in the world of Greater England, and she will doubtless be remembered as playing a somewhat remarkable part in con-nection with the Jameson Raid. She is said to be one of the first to whom the news was confided of Mr. Chamberlain's Tariff Reform policy. She was also the confidante of the late Cecil Rhodes. By the way, Lady Lugard, before taking up journalism, wrote some successful books.
