WOMEN’S INSTITUTES

RUAKITURI BRANCH. At the monthly meeting of the Ruakituri Women’s Institute the junior vice-president presided over a good attendance. It was decided to arrange for a dance in Waikatea woolshed in May. It is to be a “hardship” function. Miss McCormick gave a very interesting demonstration of painting tinfoil pictures, and passe partout framing. The date being too early there were not many entries for the best chrysanthemum bloom. The winners in the competition, “something made from used materials,” was Mrs Burden 1, Miss A. Bruce being second and Miss Robson third. SHERENDEN MEETING. The general meeting of the Sherenden Women’s Institute was held on Tuesday and proved to be a very enthusiastic gathering.
