Everywhere they have been, the classes have hien exceptional l,y well attended, •and the instruction imparted is’ of a most interesting character. We take an extract from our Napier contemporary, winch speaks for itself :—The laundry iustruc Lion classes now being held by Mr and Mrs Coxon inn - ..ecu like a revolution to a large number of Napier ladies, some of whom were disposed to think that there was little or nothing tliey could bo taught on the subject. They now admit Unit tliey have learned from the experts a good deal which is of tne highest value to them, and they urge all who have not already attended the classes not to miss the opportunity of doing so. Tne Gisborne classes will be held in Wliiuray’s Hall, and will commence to morrow, the hours of instruction being 10 to 12, 2 to o, and 7 to 9.
