Roberts at the annual meeting of the Wellington Society for the Protection of Women' and Children at Christchurch. “Personally, I think that is due in a great measure to unfit marriages. Some young people enter on married life without a thought of their responsibility. We find wives of nineteen, twenty and twenty-one, deserted and left with perhaps one or two babies to look after. They rush into matrimony.” A pleasantly informal little party took place at the Wellington Lyceum Club on Friday afternoon when the members of the newly-formed “Writers’ Corner” had the pleasure of meeting? Miss Edith Lytteltin (G. B. Lancaster), and talking over affairs of mutual interest, says an exchange. The room was charmingly decorated with autumn flowers, and a delicious tea was served. A circle was formed round the guest of honour, and, all being introduced by the president, Mrs. J. C. Anderson, quite a delightful time was spent. Mrs. King, Miss Lyttelton’s hostess, was among those present. Re gret was expressed that Miss Lyttelton was leaving v for the South that evening, and hopes erpressed that the would stay longer in Wellington on her . return.
