NEW ZEALANDERS IN LONDON
[By M. S. Pm.MMun.l LONDON, April 2. A pleasant little function took place the other day in the main hall of New Zealand House, when the High Commissioner. Sir James Parr, received three special guests. Most important was Miss Mane Ney, now one of London’s best actresses, and indeed at this moment marked as an unusually good “Portia.” She hails from Wellington, and it is nice to seevthat her phenomenal success has not lessened her charming simplicity of manner. She it was who opened the apple season by taking the first bite of the new cargo. The room was tastefully decorated with blushing apples, and we were all given various samples after. Mr Turner, from Dunedin- made a happy little speech, in which ho emphasised that no one wants to interfere with other colonies, but that we ought to support Empire goods rather than foreign ones. The two other special guests were Miss Oliver Kay, of Dunedin, and the other well-known golfer, Miss B. Gajsford. Morning tea was served in Sir James’s room, and closed this chance of renewing acquaintance with those from oversea.
