VISIT OF LADY JELLICOE. FUNCTION AT GIRLS’ HOSTEL. PLUNKET ROOMS VISITED. Lady Jellicoe’s visit to New Plymouth is an interesting event in the social world. As Lord Jellicoe remarked in one of his speeches, there is nothing that appeals to Their Excellencies more than these trips, where they see new places and new faces, and here in New Plymouth the opportunity afforded to see something of women’s organisations has given particular pleasure to Her Excellency. It had been arranged that Lady Jellicoe would visit the Plunket rooms on Thursday evening, but as she was tired after the long day motoring in the country the function was postponed till yesterday. A very beautiful bouquet of roses had been made for Her Excellency, and it was sent to her rooms on Thursday evening. Her Excellency was met on arrival by Mrs. W. C. Weston (president, of the society, Mrs. G. Home, and Mrs. Stuart Russell (hon. secretary). As Friday is the day on which many country people visit the rooms, a practical insight, was gained as to the work being done by the society in New Plymouth. About fifteen mothers and babies were there, and Lady Jellicoe spent some time at the rooms, her numerous enquiries indicating a kindly and real interest in the welfare of the mothers and children.

The opening of the Clarke Memorial Hostel was a very enjoyable function. Very excellent arrangements had been made, and everything passed off splendidly. Lady Jellicoe was taken through the building, which she greatly admired, saying she had seen no better hostel in New Zealand. The evidence of efficiency everywhere impressed Her Excellency, and she had some kindly words of congratulation for Miss Roughton, who is in charge of the hostel. After the opening ceremony there was a happy gathering in the upstairs drawing-room, where Lady Jellicoe was entertained to afternoon tea, meeting members of the committee and the men’s advisory board. The room was beautifully decorated, and the silverware and crockery were particularly fine. These articles comprised much that was rare and valuable, having been lent for the occasion by local residents, and seldom has stich"a fine collection been seen in New Plymouth.

Lady Jellicoe received many beautiful bouquets yesterday. That presented to her at the hostel by Rauma List was exquisite, being a gorgeous arrangement of asparagus ferns and lilies of the valley. Lady Jellicoe expressed her warm thanks for this bouquet, which she said was one of the most beautiful she had seen. In the morning another lovely bouquet was presented by Kathleen Moyes.
