Woman’s World

SOCIAL AND PERSONAL Mrs. J. A. Alexander, Maxwell, is visiting Rotorua. Mrs. Laurence Carey, of Cambridge, i who has been visiting her sister, Mrs. | E. B. Cooke, St. John’s Hill, has re- ’ turned home. Miss Dulcie Howie leaves to-day for a visit to Hunterville, and will be the guest of Mrs. J. D. Lilturn, “Drysdale.” Not often, if ever, has a woman been honoured in the way in which Mrs. G. H. Thomson was honoured by the Star Rugby Football Club’s annual meeting at New Plymouth, when she was elected a life memoer in recognition of her services, Dr. Thomson, in acknowledging the honour on his wife’s behalf, said she had once played as wing three-quarters for a country school, so could be classed perhaps as an ex-footballer. Sister Williams, because of illhealth, has found herself unable to continue as lady superintendent of the Voluntary Aid Detachment of the Wangaui sub-centre of the Red Cross Society. She has tendered her resignation to a meeting of the detachment, which has accepted it with regret. Sister Williams has been a source of great inspiration to the service, and the society very much regrets that she is now unable to continue. ENGAGEMENTS.
