Lord and Lady Tweedsmuir Ottawa, Ontario. " FOREWORD" To my friends and fellow members of the Women's Institutes, I would like to say how much I hope they will press on with their work in education and in all other lines. I have so much enjoyed my association with them here, and, though I have not been able to answer their many kind letters sent to me in the last month, I would like to say how grateful I am to receive them. I h0pe that the Canadian and British Women's Institutes will always be linked together in the warmest friend- ship and closest association, and that we shall continue to work as ardently in the future for the welfare of the countryside as we have done in the past." ---Written by Lady Tweedsmuir.
