Another,'.meeting of representative Wellington women who aro interesting themselves in establishing a social and writing room for the troopers from Trentham who from day to day visit the City was held in tho Y.M.C.A. rooms yesterday morning to report upon ways and means in connection . with tie scheme.

It is proposed to keep the room open on Friday, Saturday, and-Sunday of each week, and while there will bo light refreshments provided there will be no set programme of entertainment , arranged for those nights.'
