Xew Women's Club.—Miss Olive Foster gave a talk on "Modern Trends in the New World." based on J. B. Priestley's book "Out of the People," condemning the "masters and masses" tendency which led to Fascism and making a plea for the development of a social consciousness leading to a new, true and vital democracy. The president, Mrs. P. Humphreys, presided. Radiant Health Club.—Miss Irene Rutherford took for her subject "Keys To Right Living." To know from whence you come, to realise the central source of real power within you to understand and control the mental man of the body, to recognise the divine background, said the speaker, were the fundamental keys to right living.
