The ready wit of the chairwoman of the Napier Townswomen's Guild raised a laugh during a meeting in St. John's Hall, Napier. Miss Violet Macmillan, in an address to the members of the guild on the subject, "Food and Health," supplied her listeners with a great amount of information as to what was the right food and what was not. "At afternoon tea parties," she said, "people would think me insane if, instead of taking a cream puff, I was to ask for a carrot—and yet the carrot would be a far better form of nourishment." At the conclusion of the address Mrs Hqnley, after thanking the speaker, announced: "Afternoon tea may be obtained in the hall—l am almost afraid to mention it."
