WOMEN’S WORLD
Alombers of tlio United'Guild, at the anniversary meeting yesterday, expressed sympathy with Mrs W. Alouldey in the illness of her husband, and the secretary was instructed to write to Airs Mouidcy expressing the members’ hopes for his speedy recovery. Mrs Sybella Margaret Watts, one of tlio oldest residents of the Waikato, celebrated her 100th birthday on Sunday at Morrinsville. Before coining to New Zealand, 78 years ago, in the ship Cairngorm, Airs Watts had travelled extensively in England and on the Continent. Her husband was an officer in the Armed Constabulary station at Hamilton in the ’sixties and ’seventies. Mrs Watts still enjoys comparatively good health.
At the foundation day anniversary gathering of the United Guild, yesterday, Mrs W. E. Field, who presided, spoke in sympathetic terms of the passing of two faithful members, Mesdames C. A. Bierrc and W. C. Dempsey, and members stood for a moment in silence as a mark of respect. The death of Mrs Dempsey was also referred to with regret at the annual meeting of members of St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church, last evening, a motion of sympathy with her husband and relatives being carried.
