At the eeting ot the Women's National Reserve Wives' Club, yesterday afternoon, quite a gloom was cast over the proceedings by the sad loss to one of the members (Mrs W. H.

Mrs Hampton has been very closely associated with the life of the club since its inception, over a year go, and to all the activities of the club she has been, a great support. Private Hampton spent an afternoon at the club when on final leave, and cheered the promoters by expressing his great appreciation of the movement. The following motion of sympathy and condolence was passed at the close of the gathering yesterday afternoon: "That this club of soldiers' wives desires to convey to the widow and family of the late Private W. H. Hampton their sincere and deepest sympathy at the loss in action of tho brave soldier so well known to a large circle of friends and acquaintances as an exemplary husband and father. The example set by him in volunteering to fight in the battlefields of the Empire for freedom and right to aH, has, by his noble sacrifice in furtherance of hip conceived principles, placed before us an example worthy of record in the annals of New Zealand heroes." A copy of this resolution is to bo forwarded to Sir James Alien, Minister for Defence.
