HOME AND LEISURE
SPELL of really fine weather in Wellington recently, with its prevision of Spring, caused three city businessmen to realise that they were not so busy after all. A three-corner conversation overheard by one of our representatives went like this:
Mr. A.-I think I’ll get away from the office at 12 to-day and do a bit of pruning. ;
Mr. B.-Jolly good idea; I took yesterday afternoon off for a spot of spring planting. : Mr. C.-My staff will probably be able to get along without me_ to-morrow, and if it’s like to-day, I'll tidy up the rock garden. "Our Homes and Our Leisure" is the general title of the last of the series of Winter Course talks,from 4YA, and should be of special interest to listeners who are able, as the three businessmen, apparently are, to dovetail the two so pleasantly. But the talks will interest a great many more, for after all, home and leisure had a strong link with what VJ Day was all about,
The first talk in this series, on "Electronics To-day and To-morrow," by J. S. Coombs, M.Sc., Lecturer in Physics, Otago University, was given this Tuesday (September 4), The remaining talks will be: Tuesday, September 11, "Design for Leisure," by Miss J. T. Maclennan, who will speak on recreations in the home, ancient and modern; September’ 18, "House or Home," by Eric Miller, A.R.1.B.A.; September 25, "Fashion, the Fantastic Industry," by Mrs. E. Macnee, of the Otago University Library; and October 2, "Fashion or Function in Furniture,"’ by Mrs. M. Harris.
