CONVENTION, 1928.
•j hey came from North, South, East and West, Zealandia's women, some of the best, To meet in Convention in Napier's fair town. They differed in colour, expression, and gown. Some came from the country, and some from the city, The simple, the learned, the stolid, the witty; Their number—a record -was on; thirty-one, The business was serious, yet sparkle 1 with fun, For many stern problems their intellects vex. Relating to liuuor, and children, and sex. They talked quite a lot, as ladies can do. Rut their words to their motto rang faithful and true. Madame President used muc.. discretion and tact In guiding disousr.ons and sorting out fact. They sat for a v.’e=*k, morn, noon and night, Discussing, resolving, and setting things right Convention is ended, and members depart To their homes, uplifted and strengthened in h a art, Determined to stand for the cause that is right, Looking forward this year to a strenuous fight. Depending on Clod, they hope before long To establish the right and overthrow wrong. —From an Onlooker
