THE WOMEN'S SECTION

HOME SCIENCE LECTURE

Tomorrow afternoon in the demonstration hall in the women's section Miss Violet Macmillan, a member of the Association for Country Education —a branch of the home science department of the University of Otago—will speak on "Avenues of Nutritional Reform in New Zealand." Miss Macmillan will discuss the unwisdom of children having scrappy, rushed breakfasts, and inadequate lunches, the working man's demand for meat three times a day, and the "snacks" which some women are accustomed to having. Miss Macmillan believes in better health, through diet and the object of her lecture is to encourage people to feed their own families to better advantage and to help others to do likewise.

"New Zealand Women's. Contribution to Music," a recital arranged by Madam Elsie Betts-Vincent, which was to have been held in the demonstration hall in the women's section tomorrow night, has been postponed till Saturday night. The programme will include a fantasy for piano and string orchestra by Mary Martin (Dunedin); a suite for string orchestra- by Madam Betts-Vincent; variations for pianoforte by Betty Blamires; a Maori suite for piano by Mary Martin, played by Mrs. Olive Campbell (Dunedin). x Songs by New Zealand composers will be sung by Misses Christina Ormiston (soprano), Muriel Hitchings (soprano), Ena Rapley (soprano), and Molly Atkinson (contralto).
