Miss Olga Tunnicliffo has returned to Plimmorton after a fortnight’s holiday in Palmerston North. After a holiday spent as the guest of Mrs B. Grant in Palmerston North, Miss Molly Dailey has returned to St. Albans. Mrs J. Shepstone arrived from England last week to make a lengthy visit to her sister, Mrs W. R. Stowe, Linton street, Palmerston North. The engagement is announced of Zola Monk, of Kentucky, Cincinnatti, Ohio, U.S.A., widow of the late Mr Roy Monk, of Queensland, Australia, to Colin F. Post, eldest son of Captain Colin F. Post, and the late Mrs Post, of Maoribank, Upper Hutt. The wedding will take place in London during January. Tho death has occurred in tho Rotherham Hospital, Christchurch, following an illness, of Mrs. Alf. Brustad, formerly Miss Aroha Clifford. Prior to her marriage Mrs. Brustad was a flying enthusiast and was well known in aviation circles. Mrs. Brustad was 25 years of age. Her death folPowed the birth of a son two days ago. Sli6 was New Zealand's first woman pilot. Her husband was a former guide at Mount Cook. Miss Polly Larkins, who won tho prize for the best essay on an Incident in New Zealand’s early history, offered by the Wellington Confidence Carnival Committee, is the eldest daughter of Mr and Mrs W. Larkins, of Rangiotu. Her father, besides being a musician, is the chief of the Rangitane tribe. Tho monument in tho Square was erected to tho memory of his grand-uncle, so it can be seen that the Larkins family is closely connected with the early history of tlioManawatu, and it is indeed fitting that the recipient of the prize should be a member of that family.
