POHANGINA.

(From Our Own Correspondent.) POHANGINA, Nov. 20.

The members of the Pohangina Yalley Women’s Institute met on Wednesday. Bliss Balmer presided over a fairly good attendance, while apologies for absence wero received from Mcsdamcs Culling, Blixt and Spchnan, and Blisses McDonald, Stanton, Blixt, and Howell. Mrs J. Rowbothain sent in her resignation, which was received with regret. A vote of sympathy was passed with Mrs J. Stanton, who is at present in a private hospital recovering from an operation and wishes for an early recovery wore accorded her. After the usual business of the mooting had been dealt with, community singing was enjoyed, after which the president introduced Mrs Kelso, a visitor who kept the members keonly interested in her talk on her life on a South African farm. Mm Kelso also spoke of the activities of other institutes, a subject which always proves interesting, and later read a play, “Wurzol Flummery” by A. A. Milne. At the close of her address Mrs Kelso was warmly thanked and was presented with a bouquet of roses. Afternoon tea was served and concluded a pleasant meeting.
