PENWOMEN’S LEAGUE BOOK AFTERNOON HELD CLEVER, ORIGINAL IDEAS A very enjoyable “book” afternoon was spent at the Penwomen’s League rooms yesterday. Cleverly conceived titles were suggested in the badges worn, and plenty of diversion was afforded in guessing the correct names. The books included “Croat Expectations,” “Locke on the Human Understanding,” “Today and Tomorrow,” “Broken Earthenware,” “The Time Machine,” “Kim,” “Journey’s End,” “The Man "Without a Soul,” “The Invisible Man,” “Return of the Native,” “The First Hundred Thousand,” “Bacon’s Essays,” “The Ring and the Book,” “Sorrows of Satan,” “Today,” “The Scarlet Letter,” “Innocents Abroad,” and many others more or less difficult to interpret. Two members paid a complementary tribute to the local authors and i'eilow penwomen—lsabel Maud Peacocke and Mona Gordon —by indicating in their badges, "My Friend Phil” and “Torn Tapestries,” respectively. Another New Zealand author. Hector Bolitho, was recalled by a badge suggesting one of his first novels, Solemn Boy.” The prize for the most original title was won by Airs.
