WOMEN’S INSTITUTE. (“Times-Age” Special.) The president, Miss O. Wolters, presided at the monthly meeting of the Carterton Branch of the Women’s Institute on Thursday, and there was a large attendance of members. . Before the commencement of the business reference was made to the recent death of the president of the Wai-rarapa-Bush Federation, Mrs Crewe. All members stood in silence as a mark of respect. The financial statement, which was considered very satisfactory, was adopted. It was decided to plant a native tree at the railway gates at an early date. Miss Wolters and Mrs Pink were appointed to represent the Institute at the Birthday Party of the Gladstone Branch to be held on Friday, August 19. Mrs Jolly, of Martinborough, gave a very interesting travel talk on a trip through Holland. She was accorded a hearty vote of thanks and was presented with a shoulder spray. Mrs W. Pinfold, who was the Institute’s delegate to the biennial conference recently held in Wellington, submitted her report. She was accorded a vote of thanks and was also the recipient of a shoulder spray. The competitions resulted as follows: Sausage rolls: Mrs Adams, 1; Mrs Steffert, 2. Jam tarts: Mrs Swan, 1; Mrs Steffert, 2. PERSONAL. Mr W. B. Allen, of Carterton, is undergoing treatment at the Greytown Hospital. SCHOOL RE-UNION.
