It was decided to request Mr. Alitchell to again address the council, irien ' the -whole evening would be devoted to the subject, and the membent ironld he enabled to ask questions. Mr. Mitchell, expressed the opinion io the-Rational Council o.f Women that ill houses for a family should,' at least, contain fire rooms—three bedrooms and two living-rooms. He said 'that both the son and the daughter had a -right to expect i room of their own if there waa to pc a right home life. ' The Misses L. S. and M. R. "Laurie, of Christchurch, writes our London correspondent, came over, -just before the w»r, and in 1914 opened tea rooms at Hove, in.Sussex, but at the end of three years they gave it up as -war conditions were too onerous. These enterprising Serr Zealand ladies then took on temporary Government posts in London. Since the Armistice, however, they hare .returned to their old enterprise and opened first at Bwanage, in i>orset, a tea-room, which they kept open for the season only. They have now opened : very attractive rooms in Edge-ware Boad, which they call the Orange Tea. .Booms, a name they adopted on account of the very luscious orange cake 'which is a speciality among the numerous toothsome home-made delicacies to be found at their rooms, and which will be very interesting to the large cumber ,of New Zealanders who.'are booked to .reach England for the exhibition.
