SOCIAL AND PERSONAL. Tho many friends of Sir D. Stewart, tho accountant of tho "New Zealand Times," will regret to learn that his wife died on Saturday, after three, '.-.eeUs' idyht with the influenza. Airs Stewart was a daughter of Airs W. KtSodan, and was burn at Woodville. Before lier marriage sho was a member of tho "Time.-," commercial staff, and. was popular unions her associates. She lias ieit no family. Lady I'indlav and her two sons have reached Canada, en route to New Zealand, and are expected to arrive in Wellington early in January. Hiss Barton, of Featherston, has been visiting Mrs Arthur Rhodes in Chrisichurch. Mrs Stringer, who has been staying with he? sister, Mrs P. Isaacs, on Wellington terrace, lias gono to Christchurch. Mrs P. V. Kyan, of Auckland, . wh-i has beei. visiting Christchurch, passwl through Wellington at the week-end «>n her way home. Sister Taylor, of tho New Plymouth Hospital, a daughter of ilrs H. J. Taylor, of Fitzroy, has succumbed to an attack of influenza, contracted in. tho courso of her duties in nursing others. Mrs £. J. Dorrington, a colonist _ of 71 years standing, passed away, aft« a short illness, at her residence in Auckland. She was horn in 1812 in Liverpool (England), and caino to New Zealand in ISI7, arriving in Auckland on tha ship Minerva on October 18th of that year. Her father (the late Mr John Williams) was a drum-major in on* of the first army units to arrive in Auckland. She is survived by two sons, four daughters, and 19 grandchildren. Tho sons are: Mr S. G. Dorrington, of Mount Eden, and Mr J. N. Dorrington, of Wbangarei. The daughters are: lira Molony, ot Wales, England; Mrs L. Hay, of Dargavillo; Mrs K. J. Lucas, and Miss Winnie Dorrington, of Sydney. A wedding was solemnised in Wanga. nui on Friday by the Rev. G. W. Blair, when Thomas Hedley Sampson, of Devonshire, England, was united in the holy bonds of matrimony to Miss Beatrice Bartlett, of River Bank, Wangamii East. The bride wore a white silk gown and the orthodox veil and orange blossoms. Tbo bridesmaid. Miss Eileen Wilkie, niece of tie bride, was attirtd in a soft pink voile with hat to match. They both wut'o gold brooches, tho gift ol the bridegroom, and carried shower bouquets. Mr Albert Bartlett officiated as best man. A large circle of friends assembled at tho residence of tho bride's parents, v where they partook ot the wedding breakfast, the usual toasts being duly honoured, The matron of the Masterton Hospital (Mrs Wilkinson) is at present liid asido with an attack of influenza. Much regret will bo felt at the death of Dr Mary Dowling, which occurred at Hawera on' Friday after an attack of influenza (says a Taranaki paper). Dr Dowling was a daughter of Mrs Dowling, of New Plymouth, and her death has put an and to a very promising career. Much sympathy will be felt with Mrs Dowling in her loss, especially as owing to being herself laid up- with influenza she was unable to get to Hawera where her daughter had been in a critical condition for the last day or two. Mrs Dowling's son, Mr B. Dowling. of Hawcra, is also suffering from influenza. The deaths have occurred in Auckland of Mr and Mrs Raymond Wilson, both on the same day. Mrs Wilson was a daughter of Mrs M. E. Duigan, of Wanganui, and a sister of Lieutenant D. F. Duigan, M.C., and of Major J. G. Duigan, 1 of tho New Zealand permanent staff. She leaves three young children. Girl 9 not only "conduct" the tram ears, but they drive them in Glasgow (says the "Daily Chronicle.") The municipality seems to choose its best »nd bonniest lassies for this job, and in their tartan skirts, green jerkins, and saucy green cloth caps, these charioteers irradiate the grim old streets. There is a latent decorative instinct in the Scottish character which breaks out in on unexpected way at times. The idea is practical, too. for when the two officials are of one sex they do not seem ro require to confer quite so often, one? the business of the day is transacted more quickly. Berlin has a new Mmo. Humbert sen. sation in miniature. Prau Dr Lepa, the wife of a Privy Councillor and High Court Judge, is under arrest on a charge of conspiring with two other women (one a noblewoman) to swindle various riersons at a net profit to the trio of £150,000. Months ago the U.S.A. Government, through tho Director-General of Railways, nipped in the bud ovory sex wage rate dispute by issuing this order: "When women are employed, their working conditions must ; bo healthful and fitted to their needs. The laws enacted for tho government of their employment must be observed, and their pay, where thev do the same class of work a> men, shall bo tho samo as them."

Since lfKfl the cost of living in Paris has trebled, and persons who take their meals in restaurants, even of tho most modest description, aro unable to get an ordinary repast for less than four or five shillings. As many people working in the heart of tho capital are unable to take their meals at home, they must perforce pay whatever the restaurant keepers charge, and many of theso worthies have taken advantage of tho situation to reduce profiteering to a fine art. To check this scandalous continuous increase in eatinghou'so, charges Paris ha» decided to adopt, with modifications appropriate to the city, the National Restaurant system lately inaugurated in London. A catering specialist has been commissioned to organise ten popular restaurants, each containing 1000 scats, where meals may be- obtained for the small sum of Is 3d. It is expected that, besides enabling many person's to obtain cheni" meals, theso city restaurants will also net as a deterrmsr influence on '.many en term's. who daily increase their charges without anv inotification. * Thirty-five new municipal butchers 9hops will bo opened shortly.
