WOMEN’S INSTITUTE MONTHLY MEETING. ("Times-Age" Special.) Mrs McKay presided over a fair attendance of members on Thursday when the Gladstone Women’s Institute held its monthly meeting. Several apologies for absence were received. It was decided not to hold a meeting next month on account of the holidays. The next meeting will consequently be on February 8, when the competitions will be as follow: — A Fudge Cake, and the Best Six Runner Beans. During the afternoon Mrs Joblin gave a very interesting demonstration on smocked aprons. This was watched with keen interest. A visitor, Mrs Rankin, gave two recitations which were much appreciated. Both Mrs Rankin and Mrs Joblin were accorded hearty votes of thanks. During the afternoon a very amusing Roll Call was held —"A very amusing story." The results of the competitions are as follow:—Christmas novelty to cost not more than 2s Gd: Mrs Joblin 1, Mrs P. Cooper 2. Bloom: Mrs P. Cooper 1. Mrs Bubb 2. Afternoon tea was served by Mrs Jackson and her helpers. A round-the-wall competition was held by Mrs McKay, and was won by a visitor. Miss Cave. The singing of the National Anthem brought a happy gathering to a close.
