INTEREST IN PARISH
VISCOUNTESS GALWAY The keen interest of Viscountess Galway in her parish is indicated by a recent incident, says a writer in the "Church News. She had promised to open a pa.rish sale at Retford, Notts, near her family home, but was commanded to a reception in Buckingham Palace for the previous evening and to the Royal wedding on the following day. Rather than break her promise she motored from London to the sale, returning in the evening to the reception. When the rector thanked her, she said she was anxious to do it as it would be the last time she could help for some years on account of her departure for New Zealand. The rector stated that for 200 years the Viscountess’s family had been one of the most honoured and loved in the country and all rejoiced at the honour conferred on the House of Selby by her husband’s becoming GovernorGeneral of New Zealand.
