WOMEN’S POLITICAL ASSOCIATION
OPENING MEETINGS The Women’s Political Association met last evening in the Priscilla Tea Rooms for the first time this year. Members and friends contributed musical items, and the president, Miss Ellen Melville, gave an address. Miss Melville said that the aim of the association was to return women to Parliament. During the time the association had been in existence it j ad done quite a lot toward making i women, realise the work there was for ! them in politics. This, the association’s third year, was going to be an import - J ant one, with elections looming on the | horizon; and if members used their ! powers to influence other women to j take an interest in the women’s movei tnent, there was no telling what strides might be made. Miss Melville impressed upon her listeners the great scope for women in the political world, and urged that more time be given to those things that really concern women as much as they do men. The speaker said that she hoped the association would assist along these lines—in making more and still more women take an active interest in the political life of their country.
