The “Evening; Nows” (London) has the following reference to one of the daughters of a former Governor of New Zealand :—Lady Elvedan. is one of the ladies whom it is always hoped may some day he induced to enter the House of Commons. Her husband is already a member of that House, so that if she were to consent to represent another constituency we should have the unique spectacle of husband and wife both sitting, independently, in Parliament. Able speaker and politician as she is, Lady Blveden prefers to work for her country outside Westminster, and certainly she puts in a great deal of excellent work on the bench and elsewhore. There are quite a number of ladies now who are entitled to put J.P. after their names, and' from all accounts their presence on the bench is welcomed in most quarters.” In New Zealand' Lady Elveden will J>e best remembered as Lady Gwendolen Onslow. In the early days of her married life she was a great help to her husband (then the Hon. Rupert Guinness) in his political life in East London. •
