Whare Puui Soldiers' Club at Hornchurch, and the new i hostel in. Russell Square. For all of these objects sho and mewbers of her family subscribed very liberally. A few weeks before her, death, Mrs." Williams ' had a. stroke, from the effects of-which she did nof recover.- The funeral took place at the parish church of Glower, Windsor.

War Work of the Salvation Army. ■ -An. interesting description of the war work of- the Salvation Army ,was given on Monday to a representative of tin "New Zealand Herald" by LieutenantColonel J. M'lnlies, who has been appointed chief secretary of that organisation in New Zealand. Ho was divisional commander in Manchester, and arrived at Auckland by tho Niagara. After pointing out that tho Salvation. Army was established in 59 countries, he said it had taken its part in the European struggle. It had five motor ambulance units at the front, including 25 caraT Over 50,000 wounded men had been taken by those cars from tho battlefield, arid soldiers had declared that it was to the courage of Salvationists in taking risks that their lives had been saved. Other work was done by Salvationists, such as writing letters for tho wounded and comforting the dying. Lieutenant-Colonel MTnnes said the last thing ho did before leaving Manchester was to visit the nino soldiers' hospitals and call on every New Zoalander who was there. Referring to the work of the Salvation Army in Belgium, lie said its officers had remained tfcore, and had not been molested by the Germans. Salvationists had been prominent in distributing relief. When war broke out General Booth was-in a difficulty with respect ; to money for work in the countries 'invaded by the enemy. Just then, however, £13,000 was received from Now Zealand, and General Booth had declared that never would ho forget that gift. It was, as it wore, a gift of God, coming at tho right moment. ■ Salvationists had'also been sent to .stricken Serbia,-and relief had been afforded there. " There will take place this afternoon at 4.45 o'clock, at the Central Depot, : Red Cross Society, 4 Mercer Street, an ' adjourned general meeting of cominit- ; tecs of tho various patriotic bodies, which wore formed for the purposo of holding a demonstration on "Red Cross Day," October 19. Matters of public interest, will be discussed. - A meeting -<ai the members of tho Badies' Auxiliarv of the Navy League was' held' yesterday afternoon in' Mr. Shallcrass's rooms, in Harcourt's Buildings.' Mrs, Hall-Thompson presided. The business of tiie afternoon was principally to mako arrangements in connection with Trafalgar Day. and Mrs'.. Bradley-William was elected secretary, and Mrs. E. S. Richards treasurer. A deputation was received from the Navy League Committee, and various points dealt with. At the annual meeting of tho Navy League, which vill he held nest Tuesday evening at the-Chamber'of'Commerce, an address will be given by the Hon. Arthur 1 Myers. The Mayoress (Mrs. J. P. Luke) returned t6 Wellington yesterday from her tour of tho countrv districts in connection with' the' working of tho Countess of Liverpool Fund. While she was awav Mrs. Luke covered a great deal of ground and spoke at many meetings called for the purpose of conferring-with her about the work. Very satisfactory results' would appear to be accruing from this tour and it is likely that the work in connection with the parcels will be much stimulat-'l ed, both in tho way of gifts and sub- ! scnptions. : The wedding took place in St Michael's Church, Christchnrch, on Tuesday of Mr. George Watt, marine engineer (a returned Anzac, who went through the Gallipoli campaign), and Miss Ida Iveele, daughter of tlic late Mr. It.

_ 1 (Continued from - page 2.) Salvation Army Tartan Fair. '' Yesterday evening a Tartan Pair, ■organised for the purpose of further- ■ ana Salvation Army operations, was opened by, the Mayor (Mr. J. P. Luke) iu the Citadel in Constable Street. Tho 3tuilding was crowded with an audience that thoroughly appreciated the musical programme which, had been provided for the occasion, and the speeches which wero made by the Mayor, by Brigadier Gist (Divisional Commander), and by Colonel M'lntosh met with a very cordial reception. Tho Mayor, in his opening speech, congratulated' the Army upon the success -which was attending its work, and said that the iact that last year tho Self Denial Fund reached a-record amount showed how wuoh its work was. appreciated. He dashed tho Fair the greatest of success. As the Fair was a "tartan" one, it goes without saying that the decorations wero of a distinctly Scotch char- j acter, tho trellis work which partitioned off each stall from the ttool space having' been draped with the tartans of various well-known clans, as well as with lycopodiuni. Each stall bore the name of a clan famous in Scottish annals, and excellent displays of fancy and plain sewing, clothing, woodwork, toys, produce, flowors, sweets, etc.. were mado. To say that the work which they displayed was a labour of love was but bare truth, sinns . everything was done in sparo moments by people who aro busily employed during the day at various kinds of work, the whole of their off time during the past three or four months having been given oyer to this purpose. Tho ;stalls were iu charge of tho fol-lowing:-p-The Gordon stall (jams, pickles, and articles of clothing), Mrs. Brigadier Bray, assisted by officers who live in Wellington South; the M'Kenzie stall, married sisters (sewing of all kinds); the Black Watch (sewing done at the Rescue Major Blahcoe; Hunting "Stewart (swoets), Mrs. ;Trin,der; the Robertsons (flowers, 'pot \plantsj .etc.), Captain Andrews; jumble stall, Bro. Quoree ■ the M'Donald (fancy and . plain sewing), Sister Crowie; Seaforths (plain and fancy work), Mrs. Collio; tho Murrays : (toys and woodwork), Mr. G. Collie; ico creains, Bro. Brown; tea-room, Mrs. Radcliffe. Each stall had a n'umbor of assistants, and during the ovening they appeared to meet with many purchasers. Tho entertainment programme was contributed to by Colonel M'lntosh, with instrumental solos ;i Miss Pertick, recitation ; Mr. Newton, vocal solo; Miss Cooley, recitation;, and Miss Pertick, a. song. Membors of tho Wellington Pipe Band also contributed, and they will again do so this evening, as well as the Berhamporc Choir. This afternoon Hodder, the wife of the Commissioner, will praside at the proceedings, and Mrs. A. R. Atkinson will open the Fair. Various "attractions may be looked for. Every -woman has a. chance of getting something for .nothing by saving Camels .off Desert Gold Tea Pickets. Thore are' J250 in Cash Prizes, and hundreds of consolation gift prizes will be awarded.
