"LIKE CHILDREN"

TALK ON ROSE CULTURE

Quito a fair number of members attended a recent meeting of the Wellington control brunch of the League of Mothers, over which Mrs. Dallard presided.

November being lhe month of roses, Miss Beagly gave n very pleasing talk on rose culture. She had gathered from her garden a basketful of beautiful blooms, and explained how almost every variety needed different treatment. Referring to roses as her "Plunket babies," she said that, like children, they needed infinite care in .dressing and feeding. The art of knowing what to grow was very necessary. The show rose was perfect as to colour and form, but it lacked scent, whereas the more ordinary specimens (although not built on such slim lines) had a delightful perfume, The rose named "Shot Silk" was always a favourite with the ladies, as it combined colour, form, and perfume.

Afte. answering many questions and giving much helpful advice, Miss Beagly presented tho (lowers to the members, and gave the thought for the month: "Each form of life that breaks the sod or decks the vine or tree reveals the tender thought of God and speaks of Him to me."

Mrs. XJpton, choir mistress of the Brooklyn branch, sang two much-ap-preciated solos. Mrs. Dallard conducted a short admission service, when two new members were enrolled, and afternoon tea was served.
