AFTERNOON PARTY OF WELCOME

MRS J. A. NEWELL HONOURED Dr. and Mrs J. A. Newell (Sydney!, who left Christchurch nearly 10 years ago to make their home in Australia, arrived in Christchurch on Sunday for a short visit. They are on their way back to Sydney from California, where they have spent several months. Mrs Newell is keenly interested in literary and dramatic work, and, during her residence in Christchurch she directed several reading and study groups. One of these groups, the Table Round, has continued on the lines laid down by her, and members have met regularly since her departure until the present. To welcome her back, members of this circle gave an afternoon party at Ballantynes yesterday in honour of Mrs Newell, who. on arrival, received a warm greeting and was presented with two posies. She described many interesting events of her trip, including Dr. Newell’s response to a call for a doctor received in mid-ocean from a millionaire’s yacht. Dr. Newell was transferred from the Niagara, on which he was travelling, to a pinnace which took him to the yacht, where he remained for five or six days until the yacht reached Honolulu.
