That the Otipua Women’s Institute l.as lost none of its popularity was .howm by the large number of membens who attended the meeting on I Wednesday, the birthday of the branch. After the routine business had been disposed of. Miss Withell (president) asked Miss Cumming, of Timaru. to give an address. Miss Cumming’s subject w r as gardening. and after a very interesting talk on rose culture, she gave a practical demonstration on pruning and budding at this time of the year.. This should prove most helpful, and a hearty vote of thanks w’as passed to Miss Cumming. Mrs B. Evans, hon. secretary, of the Women’s Division of the Farmers’ Union, upoke briefly re the newlyformed division, and invited the members of the institute to a picnic in the Park. One competition for the day was musical parcels, and was won by Mrs Tate. Another “Sing, Say, or Pay,” caused much merriment, and added to the funds for the institute. Afternoon tea was provided by the

retiring committee. This included a very fine birthday cake, which w r as cut by the president. Mrs Selwyn Withell. Otipua, and Miss Daniel, Kingudown, were weir corned as new members. Singing of the National Anthem brought to a close a very enjoyable meeting.
