LECTURING IN LONDON
NEW ZEALANDER’S WORK LONDON, Sept. 18. Lectures on life and conditions in New Zealand have been given by Miss L. J. Frayne, M.A., of Wellington, to branches of the Ethical Union, to the Hammersmith Conservative Association and the Wimbledon Toe H auxiliary movement, states a London correspondent. Her audiences have as a rule been interested and alert, and there have occasionally been amusing interludes.
Once, when explaining the difference in seasons, Miss Frayne said that in New Zealand the festival of Christmas kept in the summer. A lady interrupted, asking: “But how do you manage about Christmas cards, with their icicles and snowflakes?” The lecturer answered this question as tactfully as possible, but she was completly floored by her second inquiry—" And is it Christ’s birthday just the same?”
