FAREWELL TO MRS GERARD
When the Hawke's Bay Clerical Association held its last meeting, the opportunity was taken by the Pakeha clergy wives and widows of saying farewell to Mrs. Gerard; It was a wet day but this was compensated for by the warm fires and cheery atmosphere of Stl Matthew's Vicarage, Hastings. Mrs. W. T. Drake and Mrs. L.-.C... Maclean had prepared a sumptuous luncheon m the best buffet style and invited the clergy to join the ladies. After lunch Mrs; Drake sang and played the accompaniments for some pi the clergy to perform; the signs of lunch mysteriously' disappeared and, theji Mrs. Drake presented Mrs. Gerard with a navy blue leather handbag and a pair of fawn suede gloves with the love and best wishes of the Pakeha clergy wives and widows of the Diocese. : There was a good attendance at the gathering and apologies were given for all those who were unable to come.
