The church was beautifully decorated by the friends of the bride. The bride, who entered the church on the arm of her brother, Mr. C. W.

PIO PIO GARDEN FETE s MARRED BY WEATHER To provide funds for a rest room the Pio Pio branch of the women's division of the Farmers’ Union held a garden fete at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. C. K.

Rolleston, M,P V arid Mr. W. J. Broadfoot, Mayor of Te Kuiti. An adjournment was made to the residence, where the various stallholders did brisk business.

The proceeds amounted to the sum of £2O 7s 6d. With a sum of £4O already in hand, it is now hoped to proceed with the erection of the rest room.

LYCEUM CLUB LUNCHEON ADDRESS ON OBSTETRICS MR. VICTOR BONNEY’S VISIT A particularly large attendance of members marked the visit of Mr. Victor Bonney, the noted specialist, to the Lyceum Club luncheon yesterday, when lie spoke on. the aims and objects of obstetric societies. With him was Airs. Bonney. Other notable visiters were Airs. William Moore (Dora Wilcox), Airs. Daly (Aliss Edith Harrhy) and the matrons of the Karitane Hospital and the Plunket Home. The club president, Airs. W. H. Parkes, in introducing Mr. Bonney, said his attendance and addresses at the recent 8.A1.A. Conference, had been an inspiration to his listeners, all of whom had been touched with his avowed sympathy for women, and above all, for mothers. Air. Bonney said that obstetrics, concerning itself with childbirth, was the oldest branch of medicine, but unquestionably the most important because it dealt with the welfare and continuance of the race. At one time, and even now by a large number of people, childbirth was regarded simply as a physiological act —a natural act —and it was this idea that had given rise to the peculiarly callous attitude generally adopted towards confinement. A properly conducted confinement was still regarded by many as a luxury of the rich, and many mothers had therefore died unnecessarily for the benefit of the race, which Nature looks after so well, forgetting the needs of the individual. It was ordained that man should have difficulties to contend with, but Nature was undoubtedly callous as regards the individual while concentrating on the welfare of the race. Yet the large section of the community who insist that childbirth is a natural process were the first to blame the doctor or the nurse if anything went wrong. EDUCATING THE PUBLIC Continuing, Mr. Bonney said that obstetric societies were trying to educate the public to an understanding of certain things connected with childbirth which must be countered. At present the risks were too many, and the risk of disablement and damaged health was even greater than the possibility of death. The reasons for many of these troubles were known to the medical profession and the difficulties could be ruled out, but that they might exercise their skill it was necessary to provide them with proper means and accessories. A confinement must always be looked upon as a potential operation, being a manual or instrumental interference from the doctor, and by reason of the different circumstances and the urgency of the need, it was made far more difficult than an ordinary surgical operation. In the latter case, every possible safeguard was taken, expense was not spared, and the full gamut of surgical needs was requisitioned. But a different attitude rules at a confinement, and people will not grant the same accessories, and a doctor is often hampered in having to perform an urgent and delicate operation, calling for perfect hospital conditions, without those conditions, without proper lighting and without recourse to other assistance of any kind. Few people were prepared to convert their houses into temporary hospitals and were content to leave everything to the doctor who, if anything went amiss, was expected to shoulder the blame. NEED FOR TRAINING Mr. Bonney said that the remedy lay in educating the public, in persuading women with unsuitable homes and little means to come in to a hospital. Here in New Zealand many of the small towns had special hospitals, but in the larger cities there should be maternity wards attached to all the big hospitals, and in this a double object would be served, because it would enable medical students to receive a proper training in obstetrics. In former times a most cursory knowledge was all that was required, but an obstetric hospital could now be regarded as a centre of research. Problems, incidents and tragedies that have defied the medical profession could now be brought under trained observation, and whereas it had hitherto been rare for one man to know more than two or three such cases in 40 years’ practice he now could have the x’eseareh work at his disposal, and the general standard of working knowledge must therefore be raised, The New Zealand Obstetric Society was working for that standard, and as 4 he teaching staff must be equally effiient the need for a Professor of Obstetrics at Dunedin University was most apparent. Air. Bonney made an appeal to all , \y men and lay women for better conditions both for the women and for the students of the Dominion. . , v. LUCK There are a number of people going, about the world with the rooted idea that they are unlucky. Sometimes they call themselves “born failures.” They go through life forgetting all the so-called lucky things which happen to them, and comment only upon their misfortunes, real or imaginary, big or little. When these unlucky people are quite young they are often amusing, for then they only half believe their unfortunate tendency for attracting bad luck; but as they grow older their belief in themselves strengthens, and they become the most depressing of individuals. It is all very pleasant when a pretty girl tells you that if you take her for a drive in your car you will have an accident, because things always go wrong if she has anything to do with them; but when an elderly woman grumbles that bad luck has pursued her since birth, and puts everything—her own unpleasant temper included—down to that, it is another matter. Speaking broadly, the modern psychologist tells us that tendencies become sentiments in time, sentiments develop into dispositions, and dispositions become characters. And what is character but habit? Change your habits and you change your character; change your outlook and you change your material lives. Easier said than done, of course, but as long as the "unlucky” people think themselves failures they will, very naturally and unconsciously, make themselves failures. If you make up your mind- beforehand that you are going to forget so-and-so's telephone number you will certainly succeed. And so it is with luck. "Unlucky” peopie get into the habit of calling perseverance and strength of purpose luck. But if there is such a thing as luck, it is so rare that it is not worth while taking it into account. and this applies to bad luck, too. i So let the "unlucky” people get rid of this depressing tendency before it develops into a positive bogey. Luck comes to those who work for it.

NATIONAL COUNCIL OF WOMEN MEET MENTAL HOSPITALS REPORT The monthly meeting of tlic Auckland branch of the National Council of Women was held in the Old Grammar School building last evening, the president, Miss B. Carnachan, presidA resolution of regret was passed in connection with the death of the Hon. Mark Cohen, M.L.C. MENTAL HOSPITALS The first subject under consideration was the recent report of the Inspector-General of Mental Hospitals, Dr. T. Gray, and an account of the N.C.W. executive’s interview with Dr. Gray regarding the proposals contained in his report. These were: 1. The desirability of the establishment of a Central Board, whose function will be the social control of the socially inadequate. * 2. That in order to induce sufferers from mental disease to seek treatment at any early stage, the function of the magistrate should be confined to seeing that the legal requirements are complied with. It is unnecessary and undesirable that magistrates should liaA'e to make decisions upon purely medical questions. 3. That patients should not be sent to prison or police cells prior to committal, and that suitable quarters should be provided at the general hospitals for the reception, examination, and where necessary, the certification of mental cases. In regard to the first proposal it was decided to defer an expression of approval until the constitution, personnel and powers of the proposed central board be fully understood. The second and third proposals were fully endorsed by the council, and resolutions embodying these last two decisions were passed and will be forwarded to the Dominion executive. Mrs. Kidd and Mrs. Von Sturmcr testified to Dr. Gray’s sympathy and understanding, and Mrs, Kidd appealed to have it made known that there was a clause regarding voluntary boarding to get early treatment. In this case patients received every attention, but were under no forced control; no record whatever was made of the names of the voluntary patients, and so the stigma usualy attaching to mental cases is avoided. WOMEN POLICE Miss Quayle reported that nothing further had been done in the meantime. An appreciation was recorded of the Mayor’s recent recognition of the need for women police. OPEN-AIR SCHOOLS Mrs. Jellie reported on the recent visit of the sub-committee to the Vasauta. open-air classroom, and said that much valuable information had been obtained. This question will be brought up at the next meeting. CORRESPONDENCE Notice was received from the Auckland Hospital Auxiliary that that body wished to affiliate with the National Council and that it had appointed as delegates Mrs. David Nathan, Mrs. Prendergast, and Miss Basten. * Prom the Mount Roskill Road Board came a communication endorsing the N.C.W.’s resolution in regard to the preservation of volcanic cones. HOME FOR COUNCIL Miss Quayle reported that this was now really a question . of devising ways and means of raising money to provide rooms and an office which were now really essential. Miss Melville suggested that a definite number of delegates should be fixed as a mimimum to accommodate, and said that a little risk must be taken as it was time the council “launched out.” Miss Quayle offered her rooms for the holding of a bridge evening to start the ball rolling, and a sub-com-mittee was set up to help with arrangements. Miss Carnachan spoke about the steps being taken to welcome Miss Maude Royden and told of the meetings called by the Mayoress, while Miss Chave Collisson, manager of the tour was here. PAN-PACIFIC CONFERENCE This all-important subject was again brought up and conditions of the representative delegation discussed. FAREWELL EVENING The home of Mrs. F. A. McLean, Turua, was the scene of a very jolly house-party in honour of Mr. R. D. Macklow, the popular Turua solicitor, who is leaving shortly to take up a practice in Auckland. As each guest had been invited to bring handkerchiefs and there were between 30 and 40 present, Mr. Macklow will have handkerchiefs sufficient to remind him of Turua for many a long day. Songs were contributed by Mrs. McLean, Messrs. Shepherd, Wallace, Owens and Callaghan. Mrs. Mules and Mrs. Jonas were at the piano. A public farewell will be tendered Mr. Macklow next Wednesday evening by the members of the tennis, football and cricket clubs, Mr, Macklow having become very popular as secretary and player during the three years he has been in Turua. GIFT EVENING Miss Dawson was the guest of honour at a very bright gift evening arranged by the Misses Beresford and their pupils on Friday evening last at “Arncliffe.” Miss Pawson sails by the Marama for Sydney en route to South Africa, and she received many novel gifts, which will be useful on her trip. During Ihe evening solo dances were performed by Misses Loddy, Maher and Barry, and two violin solos were contributed by Mr. R. McKay, Dance music was supplied by the Misses Beresford. CROQUET AFTERNOON An enjoyable progressive croquet tournament was held at the Mount Eden croquet lawns on Saturday afternoon by the club members*to say farewell to Mrs. Rudd, the club president, who is leaving for Christchurch. Mrs. Owen, the vice-president, expressed the regret of the members in losing Mrs. Rudd, and wished her every success and happiness while in Christchurch. The prizes for the afternoon’s play were won by Mrs. Biddington and Mrs. Cowie. Consolation prizes w r ere awarded Mrs. Owen and Mrs. Fogarty. Cut roses in the evening and lay them in the hath, submerging all but the heads, and they will last much longer than if put straight into vases. A delicious cream to ecco ipan> fruit is made by cooking an ounce of ground rice in half a pint of milk, flavoured with lemon rind and sugar. When cold, mash two bananas with ' sugar and add to the rice.

A big staff was engaged in running competitions and raffles. In the latter part of the evening there was dancing to music provided by Miss L© Petit, Mrs. Afules and Messrs. J. Aliller and H. Kerby. AN IRONING HINT It is remarkable how many women spend from IQ to 30 minutes in ironing a shirt excellently, and then ynmediately undo the good work by folding it badly. A man’s shirt, when folded, should be perfectly flat, with only the front exposed. The following is an excellent, quick and easy method of folding: After the shirt has been ironed everywhere—lncluding insides of cuffs and shoulders —button up the front and lay front-downward?. Fold over each side of the shirt until the armlioldes are practically meeting, then double each sleeve with the cuffs touching the outer folds. Fold up six inches of tail, then an additional nine inches, and give a light press to keep in place. Turn the shirt over and give the front a final press. Shirts treated this way can be placed six or seven deep without any fear of crushing. When separating the wdiites from the yolks of should the yolk break and fall into the white, dip a cloth in w’arm water, wring *t dry and touch the yolk w r ith a corner of it; the yolk will adhere to the cloth end may easily be removed.
