MISS EMMA. SCOTT.

The".many friends of the late Miss Emma Scott will regret to hear of her death, which occurred at her residence, Wellington Terrace, at the end of last week. Miss Scott, who came to New Zealand from Launceston 25 years ago, under engagement to the D.1.C., as head oi their dressmaking rooms, remained with that firm for many years, and during that period designed and produced for the Army Medical Service the Red Cross uniforms worn by hundreds of New Zealand nurses during the Great War. ' The organising ability and efficiency which Miss Scott displayed in completing these contracts earned for her the thanks and compliments of the Defence authorities. The high esteem in which the late Miss Scott was held was evidenced by the large attendance at her funeral on Monday, the service at which was conducted by the Rev. Brian Kilroy. Much sympathy is felt for Miss Mills, the late Miss Scott's life-long companion and friend. ~* ■- ' —'
