SUCCESSFUL TOUR

PAN-PACIFIC INTERESTS

Gratifying progress has been made by Miss Elsie Andrews, who is touring the Dominion in the interest of the Pan-Pacific Conference which will take place in Wellington during the Centenary celebrations.

Miss Andrews has visited Taumarunui, Auckland, Maungatautari, Whangarei, Oheawai, and Dargaville, and is continuing to Morrinsville, Thames, Tauranga, Te Puke, Te Aroha, Hamilton, etc. She has, she states, had large audiences at each place, and has found keen interest and willingness to help in every way possible, and, what is more unusual, a readiness to undertake study courses in preparation for the subjects which will be brought for,ward at the conference. The financial side also has exceeded Miss Andrews's expectations, the amount collected being twice what was anticipated.

In most places the Mayor or Mayoress has presided at the meetings, and in three districts the Mayoress has taken the lead in the committees formed, these being in readiness to assist the1 national committee.

A reception will be tendered to Miss Andrews at the Pioneer Club on Wednesday next. This also promises to be a great success as there is much interest shown by the National Council and other women in the city and suburbs.

When washing white spun silk, fuji, or crepe de chine, add a tablespoonful of methylated spirits to the last rinsing water. This gives the fabric a slight stiffness, and prevents it from turning yellow.

To remove ink-stains from washing materials, soak the affected part in equal quantities of vinegar and lemon juice, leave for a few hours, rubbing the fabric together occasionally, then wash with warm spaprsuds. As the material is not weakened by this treatment, it can be repeated if necessary.
