The Kimbolton Women’s Institute held their first open night in the Town- Hall tho other evening, visitors fijom neighbouring institutes and friends being present from all parts of the district. In welcoming Mrs Kelso, Dominion secretary of the Women’s Institute, and the visitors, Mrs Bamicoat, president of the Kimbolton Institute, said she hoped that their timo spent with the Women’s Institute would always remain a pleasant memory. Mrs Kelso spoke on life in South "Africa, and. captured her hearers’ interest immediately. She dealt with her subject in the simplest phrases and had tho gift of enabling her listeners to visualise that which ehe described. Her lecture was full of interest and it is hoped that in the near futuro Kimbolton residents will have tho privilege of again hearing her address them.
