Lady Vogel and Miss Vogel, who have for several years past been living at ‘Diuard, have returned to London and have taken a house near Earl’s Court (says a correspondent). After Viscount Craigavon and Viscountess Craigavon arrived at Cambridge on Thursday last, en route to Rotorua, they had luncheon with their old friends, Mr. and Mrs. Neely, at their homestead, “Brackenfield,” where in the early afternoon the visitors were guests at a garden party. Later in the afternoon Lord and Lady Craigavon left by motor-car for Rotorua. , Mr. and Mrs. M. Cohen (Palmerston North) have been spending the week on the Continent after a most interesting tour of North England and Scotland. In the course of the latter tour they visited Oban, Inverness, Edinburgh, the Trossachs, and the Scottish Lakes, and also the English Lakes, spending a most interesting day or two at York (says a correspondent). After returning from Europe they' will remain for some time in London. MisS Priscilla Greenwood (Nelson) has been spending the last year in visiting England and the Continent, and has taken the opportunity of furthering her musical studies. She has been working at the Royal Academy of Music, taking pianoforte under Mr. Harold Craxton and the ’cello under Mr. Whitehouse, and has now obtained her L.R.A.M. At the end of the year Miss Greenwood will return to her private practice and her position on the music staff of the Chilton St. James’s School, Lower Hutt. Deep regret will be felt in New Zealand (says a London correspondent’writing on October IS) at the announcement of the death of Margaret (nee Turnbull), the wife of Dr. K. C. Roberts, of King's College, London. Dr. and Mrs. Roberts were married in London last year. A son was born on Octobcr‘6, but three days later Mrs. Roberts passed away suddenly. To a very wide circle of friends the news will cause real distress. Before coming to England Mrs. Roberts, who was a graduate of Otago University, was a member of the staff of the Dunedin Training College, where her great gifts and charming personality endeared her alike to her colleagues apd to the students. Members of the Garden Circle of the Pioneer Club were the guests of Mrs. Bolt at her home at Lower Hutt on Saturday afternoon, when they admired the the beautiful roses and other flowers in their hostess's garden. A delicious afternoon tea was served, nnd all thoroughly enjoyed the outing. The previous week Mrs. Taylor was hostess at her home in Hadfield Terrace. Her garden is built up on the side of a steep hill, and shows what can be done with very ’ : ttle space. Mrs. Fisher, president of the circle, in a brief address, congratulated Mrs. Taylor on what she had accomplished, and referred also to Miss Isaacs’s garden previously visited, which showed what could be done with a sandy soil, whereas the one they were at was almost entirely rock. .
