IN THE BUSINESS WORLD

"MISS Gertrude Blyth, whose pho--"-"J- tograph is inset, is a recent arrival from London, where she held responsible ■ positions with several of the large business concerns. Before coming to Auckland she spent some time travelling round Australia, where she combined business with pleasure. After a six months' stay there she came to New Zealand, and is now employed as secretary to the Auckland Dixieland Cabaret, where she is happy, in spite of being always busy. Miss R. Brabant, who is employed as typiste by Messrs. Samuel Vaile and Sons, Auckland, has recently become engaged to Mr. E. H. Hunter, of Auckland. She is a native of Napier, and is an excellent tennis player, having taken part in the tennis competitions at the Napier High School, where she was educated. For three years Miss May Roberts was a member of the staff of the Motor Insurance Company, Wellington, but came to Auckland recently to join the United States Rubber Company Limited, which has opened a branch in Auckland. Her work is responsible, and she takes great in-

terest in it. Her recreations are dancing and swimming. Miss Kathleen Morton, who has assisted in the management of her brother's business in Onehunga for many years, has visited America on two occasions to act as buyer of large and responsible consignments of hardware and drapery goods. Her abilities do not stop at business; she is an excellent hostess and musician. Another girl venturing independently into Auckland's business world is Miss Daisy Bolton, who has taken up the profession of public stenographer. She is the daughter of Major Bolton, , postmaster of Featherston, and was employed by the late firm of Messrs. Shearer and Eastgate, land agents, Auckland, for some years as stenographer. She is a splendid swimmer, and holds a championship for one mile. The many friends and acquaintances of Miss Dorothy Drewe will regret her absence from Auckland, where she was quite popular. She has been transferred from the Edendale Public School to the Wellington Education Board. Miss Drewe was educated at Braemar High School, and later obtained her D Certificate with honour. She was fond of dancing, and took part in most of the University functions. 11/riSS Farrell, who has been trav- -"-*- elling for various indent firms during the last eight years, will leave by the "Makura" on an extended business tour through Australia, visiting Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Perth, Fremantle, as well as the larger towns in the Federal States, including Hobart, on her way back to New Zealand. Amidst artistic surroundings in Auckland, Miss Gwen Smith is to be found designing and making gowns for all occasions. She is assisted in her business by her sister, Mrs. Lawrence, and employs a staff of ten girls. Previous to opening her rooms she acted as designer to "Vogue," under the management of Mrs. Lawrence. Miss Smith was well known in Christchurch as a teacher of dramatic dancing.
