GIRL GUIDE NEWS
The following interesting letter has been received from Lady Chaytor, Commissioner of Girl Guides of Wellington District: —"l have not seen or done°any Girl Guiding except for the world camp at Foxlease, but have had a long interesting letter from Lady Jellicoe, also. the Girl Guide paper, which tells mo how well the movement has got on in New Zealand, and how it has grown. Go on keep the flag flying, the movement means groat things to this, and each succeeding generation. A great Empire movement, and when one sees the beauty of our Motherland, England, one feels one cannot do enough for her—she is worth dying for as our men proved—and even so, worth living for, and helping others to realise that too. So try and help this world to be a better place, and from what I have seen of Girl Guiding, I feel it will prove a great power for good in the future. So keep on and do all you can ;■ don't tie disheartened or let those around you become so. Lady Chaytor also wrote of the wonderful time she and her family were having. At the time of writing they were preparing for a month's motor trip through France. On ■ Saturday afternoon the Guides from St. Paul's and St. Anne's companies went out to Lower Hutt, and joined with the Lower Hutt Company, and had a very jolly time. They played games, had tea, and also a delightful talk on "The Twelve Essentials of a Baby's Life," a talk which will help the girls considerably when they are studying for their first-class badges, and wish to go in for the child-nurse examination.
The Girl Guides of Wellington hope that all members saw the account of their welcome to Miss Fergusson, which took place at Government House gates on the arrival of the Governor-General and Lady Alice Fergusson. It is hoped that the movement will flourish more than ever with the kindly interest promised by Miss Fergusson.
Last week at the residence of Mrs. Chapman Taylor, Havelock North, Miss Drennan, provincial commissioner for Hawkes Bay, enrolled her first Hawkes Bay patrol" of eight Girl Guides from Havelock North, in the presence of Lady Stout, wife of the Chief Justice.
