For a number of years Mr and Mrs Lang engaged in sheepfarrning in the Malvern Hills, where Mrs Goldie was born: and in 1860 they went lo Invercargill. The town was then but a small settlement, isolated by bush and swamp. Travellers had t . tranship at the Moko-Moko and land from small craft at the mouth of the Puni Creek, where the Bank of New Zealand now stands. In 1874 she married Mr J. S. Goldie, who subsequently served on the Invercargill Borough Council for a number of years, and hela the office of Mayor during 1899-IDOO. Mrs Goldie was of a bright and cheerful disposition and was loved by all with whom she came in contact. Always a staunch supporter of St. John's Anglican Church, she held for a number of years the distinction of being the oldest living member. Her father was one of the committee which was instrumental in establishing the first Church of England in Invercargill, and which arranged for the appointment of the Rev. W.

Mrs Bowen became principal in 1880. About the beginning of the century the school had a roll of 80 day pupils and 30 boarders. There were seven separate class rooms, and a very large staff, including resident, day, and visiting teachers was employed. There were ample grounds for sport training, and the girls were trained by a special drill instructor twice a week. Mrs Bowen took the general supervision of the school. Archdeacon Bowen was the first vicar of St. Peter's Church, Riccarton. He was in charge of the parish from 1858 to 1890. Mrs J. A. Julius, wife of Dean Julius, Miss Margaret Bowen, who is teaching in England, and Miss Laura Bowen are all daughters of Mrs Bowen. NEW IDEAS IN HAIR WAVING.
