By their presence at a luncheon in the Union Club last Friday representative members of—the British Women's Association paid a tribute to the excellent work carried out by Miss Belbin while acting as Hon. Treasurer of the Association. Twenty-eight ladies took part in the function, alli the old executive committee being present and several of the newly appointed committee, with members of the Sections of the Association in which Miss Belbin participated, namely the Sports, Gardening, Dramatic and Musical. Mrs. E. M. Gull took the chair, and on half of the Association handed over te Miss Belbin two handsome ivories, one a Japanese figure of a wise man with fawn, and the other an old Chinese representation of the Goddess of Mercy. At Miss Belbin's request the function was carried out with a complete absence of speech-making, but the presentation was none the less effective on that account, and the luncheon rorty proved enjoyable in the extreme.
