LEAGUE OF MOTHERS ADDRESS BY MRS ROLLINGS. (“Times-Age” Special.) The monthly meeting of the Greytown League of Mother’s took place in the Parish Hall. There was only a fair attendance owing to the wet day. Mrs Bull presided, and Mrs Knell acted as secretary, in the absence of Mrs Wiggins. Mrs Johnson asked that the good work the late Mrs Slater had done as secretary should be put on record, and this was decided on. Several apologies for absence were received. Mrs Rollings, of Ngaio, and Mrs Millward, of Petone, journeyed to Greytown to attend the meeting. Mrs Millward sang several songs which were very much appreciated. The Glee Choir rendered two glees. Mrs Rollings gave a most instructive address on “The Little Palace Beautiful.” She explained at first how the palace was comprised of four rooms, in which children of imagination and reality lived. In those children, curiosity and imagination wire the chief factors. Mrs Rollings gave quotations emphasize her address. All those children whoever came in contact with Mrs Rollings would always remember her teachings and good advice. Mrs Rollings was accorded a hearty vote of thanks on the motion of Mrs Lull and presented with a beautiful spray of violets. Mrs Millward received a shoulder spray of stocks. During the afternoon Mrs Rollings held an admission service. Mesdames Sbedden, Kidd and Miss Tate were admitted. The hostesses were Mesdames Jewell, Lyford, Duff, A. Haigh, assisted by Mrs Te Whaiti.
