IN THE FIELD.

Auckland was reached on October 4th, ai 1 on Tuesday (9th) a home meeting was held at Mrs West's residence, Otahuhu. Tenth District Convention at Auckland, with a very fine representation from the auxiliaries. In the evening and the fol lowing day I represented the City Union at a meeting called by the Women’s Civic League to discuss th Social Hygiene Bill, and address- d the Ponsonby Union on the same subjec t. Tuesday, 16th, found me at the Hamilton District Convention, and at the end of the week 1 assisted at our stall on “Our Day,” when the sum of £IOO was raised for the Red Cross, without raffles or guessing competitions. I had been up to Puk< kohe to see how the land lay, and on 1 u sday returned for a few days' work, again receiving the hearty D vonshire hospitality of Mrs Stevenson. The meeting on Friday was v r\ successful, two or three new members and subscribers to the paper being the result of the visit. Odd me tings were also held at Tuakau and Birkenhead; indeed, this month has been a sort of “washing-up bill” of the Auckland district, clearing up ill left undone. A visit was paid to St. Helyer’s Bay, with a view to organising, but the time, as in regard to a number of other places communicated with, was considered inopportune. M. S. POWELL, Dominion Organiser. Address: Miss Powell, c o Mrs Houlder, 108, Wallace Street, Wellington.
