WOMEN'S CLUB The flowers arranged in the Canterbury Women's Club are always greatly admired by Visitors, and last night the hostess for the "500" party, Mrs F. H. East, had paid special attention to the decorative scheme, clusters of pale pink spring blossoms and freesias showing in contrast to the vases of violas and deep brown wallflowers, a bowl of freesias with water lilies and miniature frogs being very effective on the central table. Mrs East wore a black silk marocain frock trimmed with black, and white kiltinS in conventional design.
