JUNIOR WOMEN'S CLUB

A very pleasant afternoon was spent by members and friends of the Y.W.C.A. Junior Women* Club recently when the programme took the form of "Five-minute speeches" by club members. •

One subject of interest to all. was "Furnishing." - Mrs. Stevenson explained how important a part the draping of curtains played in the home, also how to gain height and width by careful arranging. Mrs. Janisch gave a short resume of the life of the late Sir James Barrie and told how his delightful personality and style made a niche for himself in the temple of English literature. A more serious note was struck in Mrs. Tennet's speech, "The Way to Peace." That all should gain knowledge, understanding, and sympathy towards other people was all-important for world peace, said the speaker. Young people should be given a wider international oqtlook and be taught to realise that war was insane and criminal and contrary to religious beliefs In a talk on "The Maori Community Life in the Early Days" Miss Griffiths said that no description of Maori life would be complete without reference to their great love of music, both vocal and instrumental. "Wellington's Railway Station" was briefly described by Mrs. Robson. An interesting discussion followed the speeches, after which afternoon tea was served by the hostesses, Mesdames Rutherford and Robson.
