to express her views on " The Possibilities of British Trade 

 in South America after the War." We say this because, not 

 only is what she told us of great use, as will be geen by the 

 above, but also those who heard her lecture and noted the 

 force, clearness and shrewdness with which Miss Browne 

 expressed her views could not but realize that the lecturer 

 was not only in excellent health and spirits on that date, 

 but must also have been so when travelling through Brazil 

 and the other Latin-American Republics. During this 

 trip Miss Browne visited all the principal Republics of 

 South America, made several journeys into the interior 

 (into the rubber lands of the Amazon, to La Paz, in 

 Bolivia, the highest capital city in the world, to Bogota, 

 in Colombia, &c.), and was the first white woman to go 

 alone into the interior of British Guiana, our only Colony 

 on the South American mainland. She has also been in 

 close contact with business conditions in many other parts 

 of the world, having toured the Middle and Far East, &c., 

 on business connected with the London Rubber and 

 Tropical Exhibitions of 191 1 and 1914.
