MR T. M. WILFORD, M.P.

IMPROVEMENT IN HEALTH.

RETURN TO LONDON

LONDON, April 23.

Mr T. M. Wilford, M.P., is again in London, and, with Mrs Wilford and their daughter, has settled down in a flat in Kensington. Mr Wilford’s numerous friends will be glad to hear that he has benefited by the sunshine and rest experienced in the South of France. Next week he is to undergo a thorough medical examination to see if he will be able to leave for New Zealand in time for the next session. His London medical adviser considers that he is improving, although he is averse from Mr Wilford taking up public work again for at least a year. However, the patient is not keen to abide by this decision,,, and he will be guided by the opinion of his own medical men, Dr Collins and Dr Hislop, who are both in London. Mr and Mrs Wilford enjoyed their stay greatly in the South of France. They were at Mandelieu, near Cannes, close to the Cannes Golf Club, where they were joined by Miss Wilford. Then they went to Carcassonne, the Loire Valley, Fontainbleau and Versailles, and passed through Paris on their return to England. Mr Wilford naturally is taking every opportunity of visiting the House of Commons and meeting leading parliamentarians Last week he lunched with the mission which left for Russia—Sir Frank Nelson. Colonel Moore, and Mr Boothby, M.P.,—and yesterday he spent some little-time with the Right Hon. Neville Chamberlain ((Minister of Health), discussing the housing question. On another afternoon he was the guest of the Prime Minister at 10 Downing street, and be was surprised at the amount of knowledge regarding New Zealand possessed by Mr Baldwin, whose interest in the Dominion is very keen. He was sincerely cordial to the “ father ” of the New Zealand House.

Mr Wilford has. of course, had numerous requests to speak at public functions, but at present he has not been able to undertake any such adventure. However, he feels confident that he will get completely well again, and he will then return to public life as soon as he is able. " Indeed," he remarked to me, " I am longing for the day when 1 can get back. ' Sir Howard d’Egville has been a host to the New Zealander, as to other members of the Empire Parliamentary Association.

Mrs and Miss Wilford are receiving many invitations to social functions. Yesterday they wero the guests at Lady Jellicoe’s reception, and they are going to the Ladies' Carlton Club to a reception to Sir Austei Chamberlain. Last Sunday, Mr and Mrs Wilford and their daughter were motored to Sir Frederick Wise’s beautiful old country house at Hatfield, and they also were able to see Hatfield House, the historic home of the Marquis of Salisbury. Miss Wilford is, of course, enjoying her experience greatly.

Three lads of Palmerston North—William Graxtorex, Walter Greer, and John Knowles—were bushed while pig-hunting in the hills at Tiritea on the 23rd, and spent the night in the open under wretched conditions. As their matches were wet they were unable to light a fire, but eventually they reached open country late this afternoon an! communicated with their relatives, who brought them to town in an exhausted condition.
