W.D.F.U. i The October meeting of the ■ W.D.F.U. was held in the Guide Hall i and there was a very good attendance. After the usual business was transacted, Mrs. T. Pairman read a very interesting article on Marguerite Salle, the famous artist model. This was enjoyed very much by those present as Miss Salle is of New Zealand nationality.

MEETING The October meeting of the Mangaweka Women’s Institute was held in the Oddfellows’ Hall and was very well attended, Mrs. J. Ince presiding.

The motto was given by Miss Dickinson and the golden thread, bn Mrs. Roosevelt, provided by Mrs. Fred Billinghurst, was most interesting. Two-minute reports, written by three members, told us of our doings during the last six months, and community singing during the afternoon was much enjoyed. A talk by the Rev. C. Webster, telling of his trip across the Atlantic from England to Canada, and incidents of his life while there, was most interesting and entertaining.
