Mrs. Hal Williams received the guests, and Lady Wilford, the past-president, was among the number who find these reunions attractive.

Williamson, Mrs. Mill, Mrs. Forsyth, Lady Findlay, Mrs. Findlay, Miss Thurston, Mrs. Penfield, Miss Stella Murray, Mrs. West, Miss Kees, Miss Watson, Miss Evans, Miss Aitken, Mrs. Ching, Miss Bennett and about a hundred more, who milled around, like fish in a pond, in their delight of seeing each other, meeting old friends and making new ones, for that is the object of these New Zealand parties.
