WOMEN’S CLUB

BUSINESS AND PROFESSIONAL, At the September dinner of the Y.W.C.A. Business and Professional Women’s Club, held this week at the Centreway rooms, Mr Runnerstrum, the speaker, described a most interesting tour which he had recently made in northern lands. Starting from Stockholm, he had touched at Hamburg, Glasgow, and the Orkney and Farroer Islands before reaching Iceland. From Iceland he had proceeded, crossing into the Arctic Circle, to Norway, and then down the coast to Bergen. From Bergen he travelled by train to Oslo, a journey which he described as one of the finest in the world. Avoiding a mistake of smothering his audience with a mass of detail, Mr Runnerstrum described mainly such things as would be unfamiliar to his hearers, and a most interesting talk resulted. Many of the audience, which comprised Misses Hewison, Scobie, Young, Hoskins, Branscombe,.Philpott, Porteous, L. Barlow, Norrish, J. Barlow, Mitchell, Hayes, Moore, Waters, Elliott, Takle, MacLean and Bartrum, lingered after the lecture asking questions and poring over photographs.
