NEW HEADQUARTERS
NAVY LEAGUE AUXILIARY
The ladies' auxiliary of the Navy League has acquired, and is now installed in, new quarters, large and attractive premises on the ground floor of the M.L.C. Assurance Company's building, at the corner of Lambton Quay and Hunter Street. The rooms will be known as the Ladies' Auxiliary Headquarters and will be easily recognised by the Union Jack and Navy League flags displayed there. After next Tuesday the War Council room in Hamilton Chambers will be used as a packing centre and depot for storing the bales of wool which the Navy League is now receiving from !the Wellington Patriotic Committee. The new headquarters will be a centre of great activity in more ways than one. Spinning circles will be held regularly to supply suitable wool for the seaboot stockings which are so necessary for the1 comfort of the men lin the Atlantic and North Sea. Commodore Parry, at the annual meeting of the Navy League, spoke very feelingly of the intense cold which prevails [there, as he himself had experienced it. Besides the spinning, knitting and sewing circles are being arranged, and mothers and wives of seamen will be I welcomed at headquarters and invited to join in these activities.
