AT HOME

JUNIOR WOMEN'S CLUB

A large number of guests attended an "at home" given by the Y.W.C.A. Junior Women's Club recently. The lecture room was used to accommodate those present, and the delicious homemade afternoon tea was set out in the clubroom, which was bright with bowls of flowers.

The programme took the form of two readings by the Play-reading Circle. The first, "Flowers of Remembrance," in which a slightly blasphemous old colonel finds himself paddled by a talkative Irishman, with a bunch of "harem" lilies, which all those to whom he proffers them scornfully refuse to accept. The denouement is both charming and pathetic.

The second play, "Innocent and Annabel," a lively interlude, concerns a volatile French singer, his sensible English wife, and one of his numerous "affinities," who is "President of the Perfect Livers." .' . ,

In addition to the readings, Mrs. Philpot and Miss Potter sang some pleasing songs, for which Mrs. Fauvell played the accompaniments. Those who took part in the readings were Mesdames Tenriet, Elgar, Robson, Quin, Morton, Matheson, McNeely, and Saker.

Mrs. Carmichael, who presided, thanked all those who had contributed to the success of the function, which all voted a'most enjoyable one.

During the. afternoon Miss Bridgman, local secretary of the Y.W.C.A., took the opportunity of briefly explaining the facilities and advantages pertaining to membership of the club, and its aims and activities, which embrace cultural, social, and recreational meetings.
