Like Miss Balfour, sister of the ex-premier, who assists her brother largely in his political work, Miss Haldane, the only unmarried sister of the Secretary for War, is her brother's right hand during the Parliamentary session. Miss Haldane is one of the most cultured and accomplished women of the day. She is an eloquent speaker, and worked hard in connection with the formation of the Territorial Force and the founding of the Territorial Nursing Service for London. Educational and political work take up a great deal of her time, but she has also proved herself an author of distinction as well as an exquisite needlewoman. Spinning is another of her accomplishments.
