CANTERBURY WOMEN'S CLUB.

On Friday afternoon and evening at the Canterbury "Women's Club, was held an exhibition of garments made by the Club Stocking League for distribution amongst the poor. An almost incredible variety of beautifully : finished garments—jackets, hats, scarves, dresses and underclothes —ajl j made fram cast-off , stockings, and i woven woollen undergarments, was dis- , played and greatly admired. The 1 members of the Stocking League were warmly congratulated on the abundant fruits of their labour. Mrs J. J. Clark, who is president of the Dominion Stocking League, and also a meiriber of the Otago Women'? Club, congratulated the members of the Canterbury Women's Club on starting a branch of the League and on the very fine exhibition of garments made in such a short time. She gave an interesting account of the inception of the Dominion Stocking League and its'gnwth and activities up to the present time. It was started over twenty years ago by some ladies in Dunedin, who thought something might be done with the good parts of old stockings, and discarded clothing which would otherwise be wasted. As there was not I the acute poverty in Dunedin that, there is in the Old Country, and as s-me i eonle to whim they offered them j objected t/> their children wearing gar- . ments made out of old clothes, the pioneers of the movement decided to make the garments for the needy children of soldiers and sailors and the members of the mercantile marine at Home, and many thousands of useful and attractive'garments have been sent to the children and greatly appreciated. During the Great War the League's work was suspended, cr rather merged in the work of the Red Cross, but it was started again when the war ended. . When Lady Jcllicoe arrived in New Zealand she wrote to the headquarters of the League in Dunedin saying she had s;en many 0 f the little garments worn at Home by some of the vcy poor, and she wanted to get in touch with the workers. She opened a big exhibition of the work in Dunedin and was so much interested that she was made the patron of the League. Already branches have been started at Christchurch, Wellington, Auckland and Blenheim. Last year Dunedin sent 4000 garments at the small cent of £5 7s Gd. All gifts of stockings and old garments sent into the Dunedin Society were sent to the hospital to be sterilis.d. Amongst those present were.-—Latly Denniston, Mrs Holland, Mrs J. J. Clark (Dunedin), Mrs O'Loughhn, Miss Orchard. Mrs A. E. Smith Mrs H. Wyatt, Mrs Pairman, Mrs F. C. Go«'per, Mrs Lee Mrs Clifton Bingham, Mrs Pickles, Mrs Marshall, Mrs Shand, Mrs G. Bush, Mrs H.
