Quite a novel and carious happening is the message left by Mrs. Mary Muhlenberg Emery, of Cincinnati, to be given after her death to those who remembered her with flowers.

The announcement made that Miss Marie Moffatt, elder daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. Moffatt, of Arapuni, and a descendant of a long line of Maori chieftains, was presented at Court by Lady Wilford, recalls the fact that a daughter of a Maori chief enjoyed a similar distinction in the reign of King Edward. Mrs. Donnelly, wife of Mr. George Prior Donnelly, of Fernhill, Hawke’s Bay, had the honour of entertaining King George and Queen Mary, then Duke and Duchess of York, during their visit to New Zealand, and later, when Mrs. Donnelly visited England, she was presented at Court and entertained by Their Majesties. Mrs. Donnelly was the daughter of Chief Karauia and niece of Tareha, a well-known Hawke’s Bay chief.

There is a possibility that, in the near future, an invitation will be sent, on behalf of religiosu bodies, to Miss Christabel Pankhurst to visit Australia and New Zealand as a woman preacher (states the Christchurch “Star”). She is one of the daughters of the late Mrs. Pankhurst, the militant English suffragette, and was associated with her mother and sisters in that memorable crusade. Since then she has become a notable preacher. A northern minister heard her preach last year at the English Wesleyan Church in Paris, and his impression was that she is a remarkably gifted preacher with unusual eloquence. She told him that, if suitable opportunity offered, she would like to visit the Antipodes. One of her sisters is Mrs. 'T. Walsh, of Sydney.

Miss Clifford owns her own plane, and is the only woman in New Zealand to have a Puss Moth.
