Lady Liverpool, who wore a pretty frock of navy crepe de chine patterned all over ivith a small design in cerise and beige, and a navy straw hat wreathed with small, vivid, raffia flowers, was accompanied by Mrs George Helmore, whose guest she is at present. She was received by Mrs J. A. Flesher (president of the club), Mrs H. Holland (honorary president), and members of the committee, and presented with a beautiful bouquet composed of roses, carnations, fuchsia, and maidenhair fern. Mrs Flesher, in a brief speech, welcomed Lady Liverpool, ana expressed the pleasure members felt that ner interest in New Zealand had brought her amongst them again. Mrs Holland also welcomed Lady Liverpool, and referred to her great work during the war, when, besides many other activities, she had inaugurated the "Lady Liverpool Fund,' and when women throughout New Zealand, inspired by her enthusiasm and encouraged by tier example and personal service, had banded together and worked hard to provide comforts for the men at the Front. Lady Liverpool, m acknowledging the welcome, expressed pleasure at being back in "this City of sunshine and beautiful trees," and at meeting again many whom she had met and worked with at the depot in the days of the war. She congratulated the club on its progress, and went on to speak interestingly of the Women's Institute in England, branches of which have recently been formed in the North Island. Miss Lillian Hanham • and Miss Mary Taylor, who were accompanied by Mrs T. D. Kendall and Miss V.
