LEAGUE OF N.Z. PENWOMEN

ADDRESS BY MRS. KELLIHER

On Friday afternoon the League of New Zealand Penwomen had the pleasure of hearing Mrs. 11. J. Kelliher’s impressions of her recent tour abroad. Mrs. Kelliher accompanied her husband to England, then across to the Continent and back to Xew Zealand by way of Egypt and Australia.

> ‘London,” said Mrs. Kelliher. “had > entirely dispelled the gloom of its war years. She found the people on the whole well dressed and prosperous in ’ s P lte of the unemployment problem that was facing the nation. The speaker drew a vivid word picture of the onetime battlefields of France. Red pop- . Pies, green grass and golden corn spread a rich mantle across the spaces that had once been scarred and desolate. Everything pointed to a marvel- , lons recovery on the part of France, and Belgium, and a period of distinct reconstruction had set in. “Deauville was a mass of flowers. All the w'orld of fashion and beauty gathered around its casino and attended the races. 'Naples and Rome were also visited by the New Zealanders, and they found the latter city to be the most interesting in their tour. Every stick and stone is rich in tradition and historical associations. “From what Mrs. Kelliher could ascertain from personal observation, Mussolini seemed to have Avorked wonders for the Italian people. The unemployment problem was in no Avise acute and there A\*as a sense of order and decency prevailing. There was no night life and the extravagancies' of other cosmopolitan cities Avere unknown. Mussolini Avas liked by the people generally, and it Avas conceded that another ten years of his rule would further Italy’s progress as a nation. AIR TRAVEL “Mrs. Kelliher described her experiences in flying. It was quite a matter of course for travellers to go by the big air-liners instead of trains and boats. From the Continent to England Avas a favourite trip. The only drawback to aerial naA r igation Avas the tremendous noise of the engines. Cotton avool was supplied, but even that A\ r as not sufficient to shut out the roar. For a fee of one guinea passengers were taken for an hour’s flight over London, and were served A\ r ith afternoon tea in the air. “Scotland. England and Ireland formed part of Mr. and Mrs. Kelliher’s itinerary, and on their voyage home to Ngav Zealand they stopped at Cairo and Alexandria to make a pilgrimage to the Pyramids and the Sphinx. In the absence of Mrs. Boyd, president of the league, Mrs. Victor Macky. vice-president, presided, and thanked Mrs. Kelliher for her interesting account of her travels. COMING OF AGE PARTY A very enjoyable evening was spent in games and dancing at the residence of Mrs. A. E. Taylor, Vincent Road, Mt. Albert, to celebrate the coming of age of her son Alfred. During the evening he was presented by his youngest sister, Daphne, with a silver key. The draAving-room Avas gaily decorated AA r ith a trellis work of coloured streamers, flags and ipunga ferns.
