CHANGE OF SPEAKER

Miss Lorimer’s Absence “We have brought you here under false pretences, but it was /not intentional,” said Miss Challis Hooper,, president of the Y.W.C.A. Business and Professional Women’s Club, in Wellington, when explaining to an audience that the speaker they had come to hear.'Miss Betty Lorimer, M.8.E., was unable to be with them. Miss Lorimer was to have given an address last night on her work with the British Y.W.C.A. War Service in the Middle East, but. ns Miss Hooper said, Miss Lorimer was on active service and arrangements could not always be carried out. However, she hoped to be with the club in the near future. Miss Hooper introduced Miss’D. M. Lynn, general secretary of the Wellington Y.W.C.A., who, she said, .-would be returning to the East. Miss Lynn came to New Zealand from India three years ago, and much of her early life had been spent there. Miss Lynn deputized for the speaker proper by telling listeners what she knew of Miss Lorimer’s work in the Middle East, followed by an account of her own Far East impressions. Mrs. J. S. Martin, president of the local association, was also on the p,latform.
