NEW ZEALANDER ABROAD

Miss Lovell-Smith, of Christchurch, will sail for New Zealand by the Corinthic next week, says a London correspondent on October 31. The loss she experienced by the death of her sister, who accompanied her, has been a great sorrow during her visit. Miss Lovell-Smith has lately completed an extensive tour of Scotland, in the course of which she spent a week with Lady Aberdeen at House of Cromar, in Aberdeenshire, Lady Aberdeen being president of the National Council of Women, at which Miss Lovell-Smith represented New Zealand during her visit to this country. Miss Lovell-Smith also visited Inverness, making the return journey by road down the Caledonian Canal to Oban. She visited while in Glasgow the Municipal Open-air Nursery and Kindergarten. She spent a week with a friend in North Wales, during which time she saw the Orthopaedic Hospital at Oswestry. Miss Lovell-Smit'i attended the annual conference of the National Council of Women held this year at Portsmouth. She was particularly struck by the workmanlike organisation of the conference and the masterly summary of the conference work given by Mrs. Franklin at the close. Miss Lovell-Smith was impressed too by the high standard of debate at the conference. , At a meeting of the Auckland branch of the National Council of Women, a resolution passed was to the effect that “this branch of the National Council of Women is of opinion that there is urgent need for a representative National Council committee to classify pictures as good or bad for young people, and that the Government be asked to pass the needful legislation to protect the children, and that no time be lost in applying this method, which is approved by the League of Nations.”■
