Miss Kano'tlianlcod everyone for their kindness in making such-a presentation■:• to her,, and said that her,pleasure had lain in doing all slio could to make the club a successful institution. As' a- matter of fact she felt .rather: a fraud" in this, .matter. .When people were the recipients of a. presentation they usually were on the point of departure 1 on a-trip or getting .married, or doing something that, came as'a climax, but to-morrow she would ■be quietly going -. about., her work just ; nU usual.- Mrs. Fitcbott also made a, littlb, speech, saying : how> glad everyone had. boon to join in'tho presentation, 'and-'mentioned that.apologies for.their unavoidable absence -had been received'' from "Lady" Ward, Mrs. Rhodes,;; Mrs;,
