MOTHERS' UNION

It will be remembered that at the March meeting of the. Diocesan Council. of the Mothers' Union, the account of which appeared m the May Gazette, the Chairman was asked to write to Her Excellency Lady Alice Fergusson, Dominion President, asking if she would be so kind as to address a gathering of women when she should visit JNapier. Lady Alice most kindly replied that she would be "delighted" to do so when she and the Governor-General should visit Hawke's Bay. The date has now been fixed for Wednesday, July, the third, when a reception for Her Excellency, organised by the M.U. will be held m the Municipal Theatre, Napier, at 2.45 p.m. Since coming tp N.Z. Lady Alice has taken a tremendou, & interest m all tu?tters affecting the welfare of women, and has proved herself as m every way worthy of the high position she fills. She has been fully alive to the possibilities of the M.U. and as Dominion President her interest m women and sympathetic understanding- of the problems confronting mothers m. these difficult cia. have been invaluable. To all those who are seriously confronting the loose tendencies of the day, her many spoken and written words, and the good example of her own. life have been the greatest help and encouragement. It is' sincerely hoped that many women will avail themselves of the opportunity arranged for July 3rd., for listening to her on what may be" her ■;::st visit to- Napier. The meeting will be open to all wonien, and' all will be welcomed
