MORNING TEA

Mrs. P. B. Cooke Entertains

At the Art Gallery, Whitmore Street, yesterday morning, Mrs. P. B. Cooke entertained a large number of friends at tea in the interesting and unusual surroundings of the New Zealand Academy’s exhibition of pictures, which was opened by the Governor-General last week. The light was particularly good, and the opportunity of hearing the paintings discussed among well-known connoisseurs was as much an occasion for enjoyment as the sight, under such pleasant conditions, of the pictures, themselves.

Mrs. Cooke received her guests in a suit of cornflower blue angora, with linen lace blouse of natural colour, with gauntlet cuffs turned up over the coat, sleeves, and a hat of oatmeal straw.
