PERSONAL.

Lieut.-Colonel and Mrs George Barclay are at present visiting Wanganui. Captain F. Hudson left Wanganui today for Ohakune for the purpose of instructing _ the Ohakune-Rangataua platoon in instructional practices for the annual musketry course. A very pleasant little ceremony took place in the ladies’ sitting room of the Telephone Exchange on Wednesday evening, when a presentation was made to Miss Comrie by her fellow ofhoers on the occasion of her resignation from the Department. Mr Beswick (Chief Postmaster) in a few wellchosen words congratulated Miss Comne on the step she was taking in looking after one of New Zealand’s heroes, rnd asked her acceptance of a silver teapot and Doulton jug as a token of the esteem of her companions at the switchboard. Air A. E. Elliot (Supervisor of the" Telegraph Office) responded on behalf of Miss Comrie, and also referred to her many good qualities as an officer of the Department. A dainty supper was then partaken of, and all made merry, forgetting for the time being such things as “Number, please,” and impatient subscribers.
