A discussion took place after her talk, and Frau Krug had some telling remarks to make concerning this country and her impressions of it. She told of housing schemes in present-day Germany, and said she considered the houses in New Zealand were too big, and that the women had to work toe hard in them. She considered smaller houses and smaller rooms would give the women more time to enjoy outside activities. In the course of discussion interesting sidelights were thrown on places she has visited, among them Vienna of the present day. Her comments on the New Zealand habit of tea-drinking was tW “it is equalled only by the Japanese.” .ifternoon tea was served, and ths guests took the opportunity of meeting and speaking with Frau Krug person ally.
