WOMEN’S INSTITUTE MEETING AT RONGOKOKAKO. ("Times-Age” Special.) At the monthly meeting of the Rongokokako Women’s Institute Mrs Sigvertsen presided over a large attendance and welcomed four new members. The Ode to Friendship was sung and the prayer for peace read. A very interesting demonstration was given by Mrs O’Neil on the making a humpty out of a cheese crate, this being watched with keen interest by all present. The competitions resulted as fol-low:—-Knitted singlet (these to be sent to the Salvation Army Home in Wellington): Mrs G. Farrow 1, Miss E. Sigvertsen 2. Best bloom: Miss E. Sigvertsen (delphinium) 1, Mrs J. P. Sigvertsen (chrysanthemum) 2. A skill test was won by Mrs S. Smith. The competitions were kindly judged by Mrs Simpson for which she was accorded a hearty vote of thanks as was Mrs O’Neil. The hostesses, Mesdames Smith, Payne and McAnulty, served a dainty afternoon tea after which the singing of the National Anthem brought a pleasant gathering to a close.
