Miss Andrews dealt briefly with the personalities of the conference, which was ■ held. at Honolulu, and stressed the important nature of the work and its enormous possibilities. The New Zealand delegation, she said, including as it did two Maori womert, was one of the largest at the conference and aroused a good deal of comment through the splendid manner in which it fulfilled its part.
