‘mekes’ and the Waterlily Song. The group, as always, replied with action songs and poi dances. On the Sunday evening the group attended a combined Church service of all religions. Mrs Te Kawa read the first lesson in Maori and a European read the second lesson. Two hymns were also sung in Maori. An International Concert was arranged by the P.P.S.E.A.W.A. hostesses at which the first half of the programme was supplied by Fijian, Rotuman, Tongan, Chinese, English, Samoan, and Hawaiian members. The second part of the programme was given by the Maori group. The final function was a social evening arranged by the women of Suva's Indian Clubs. Indian songs and dances were followed by a tasty supper of Indian foods. Wherever Arahina went in Fiji they were given an enthusiastic welcome which made a deep impression on all. In this mission of goodwill and friendship we have established warm friendships whose results and benefits are hard to assess in words, but there can be no doubt of the deep affection and understanding engendered by the visit of the Arahina Branch of the M.W.W.L. Through this visit Fijian and Indian women have been the guests of Arahina and we hope that more visits will be made in the future. By travelling 3,000 miles and living together for eleven days the members learnt a great deal and look forward to similar tours by other branches of the M.W.W.L. to visit our sister groups in the Pacific.
