Miss Prudence Lambert, who recently returned to Wellington from a tour of Europe, was able to get an interesting position in London. Working as a receptionist for a car-hire firm, which had a fleet of 1000 cars, she was able to meet many wellknown personalities. As many of the would-be hirers were from overseas and could not speak English, one of the chauffeurs would always come to the rescue as he spoke nine languages. Miss Lambert, with two other New Zealand girls, also worked on the New Zealand stand at the Ideal Home exhibition in Glasgow, where most of their sales talk developed into descriptions of their homeland. Mrs Noel Henry, of Paris, who has been staying with Mrs Clarence Amyes, Straven road. Fendalton. plans to take up residence indefinitely in the vicinity of Mt. Egmont, where her husband.
