VICTORIA LEAGUE

Pleasant Social Evening Held More than a hundred Victoria League members were present at a social evening held at Miss Gwenetbe Walsbe’s studio on Monday evening, when a varied programme was presented, ail the items being arranged by Miss Walshe. The studio looked very attractive with large bowls of azaleas, pink broom, ranunculus, and branches of flowering cherry, which toned in with the old rose and sage green hangings. Miss Walshe gave an interesting talk on her trip to England. Victoria League hospitality, she found, was exceedingly lavish in England, and overseas visitors were made to feel quite at home. An exhibition of the recent ballroom dances was given by Miss Walshe and Mr. Roy Moore, and items were given by Miss M. Hunt (piano solos), Mrs. Colebrook, Miss M. Davies, -Miss I. Norris, Mrs. McDougall (songs) and Miss Laurie Anderson (violin solos). The accompanists were Mrs, J. A. Doctor, Mrs. McKinlay and Mrs. Colebrook. Among those present were Lady Buckleton, Mrs. J. A.

For The Women Of China The National Missionary Council of New Zealand are appealing to the women in New Zealand to help the women of China by contributing to the appeal for relief which is being made throughout the Dominion.
