DAME OF GRACE OF ORDER OF ST. JOHN
Lord Gaiway Invests Mrs* T. H. Lowry With Order HASTINGS CEREMONY An event of more than passing interest took place in tbe Strangers' Room of tbe Hastings Club on Wednesday morning last. His Excelleney, tbe Governor-General, Lord Gaiway, tqok the opportunity while passing through Hastings on his T^ay to the meet of the Hawke's Bay Hun-fe at Otane to invest Mrs T. H. Lowry with the order of Dame of Grace of the Order of St. John of Jerusalem. There were present at the eeremony, in addition toi his Excelleney, Mr and Mx*s T. H. Lowry, Mr and Mrs J. N. Lowry, Mrs R. H. Bettington (daughter of Mrs T. H. Lowry), Mrs Herbert ColemaD, and Messrs J. S. McLeod and Selwyn Averill. In making the investiture, his Excelleney said that he eould not imagine anybody more woxjfchy of receiving this great honour than Mrs Lowry. The order was bestowed on Mrs Lowry in recogjtxition of her well-known social work, and it is singularly fitting that the investiture should have taken place at this time, for Mra Lowry is also a present Dominion ' president of the New Zealand Red Cross Society, with which body tbe Order of St. Joh® of Jerusalem has just recently entered into full co-operation in this country. - ■■ ■■ ■ g % A- "rJ-A
