Speeches of welcome were -givpn; by . the Misses Miller, - Kirk, Dick; and Lawson and,, in reply, Miss Macky told them something of- her hopes and .-ambitions '.. for future ~of the Y.W.O.A'. She considered that it would take two f or three years to.develop the scope of the association, and thought that, judging by the way the/members had already worked, they would accomplish a.great deal in that time, Songs wore sung by Miss Macky and Miss Whyte, and Miss Joyce 1 Harkness gave an amusing recitation. evening finished with games-andisupper. ,; '. :'■.. ■ "Lady.
