FOR TIRED WOMEN
Rest Cottage Provided EFFORT BY INSTITUTES Situated near one of New Zealand’s best and safest beaches, looking over toward Kapiti Island, stands a cottage, which is the Women’s Institute Rest Home for tired country women. This is the first of what is hoped will become a chain of similar ones throughout the Dominion. The cottage will be let for short periods to people recommended by the institutes, at the lowest possible rental, which will be varied to suit the purse of the temporary occupant. In needy cases travelling and other expenses will be provided by the Interested institutes. It is aimed to furnish the cottage as far as possible by means of thrift handcrafts made by members, so that it will be an institute home. This will be arranged through the welfare committees of the various institutes. Funds for the establishment and maintenance of the home are being provided from the sales of “Home and Country,” the Institute magazine, thus every subscriber is, in effect, helping to make possible a much-needed holiday among beautiful surroundings and cheerful company, for some weary woman.
