Mrs Stewart gave as the Golden Thread the history of Pitcairn Island. The roll call “Dressmaking, hints or problems” was well responded to, and the hints received' should prove of great help to home! dressmakers.

Two items by the Glee Circle, “When Daisies Pied” and “Early One Morning” were followed a humorous sketch. Competitions proved popular.
