At Wellington on Saturday morning members of the Executive ami their wives met to make a wedding present to Miss Massey. The gift took the form of a silver teaservice and salves of King James design, with Chippendale edgings. The presentation was made by the Hon Sir Francis Bell, who said that members of the Ministry desired to show their interest in the union that was about tV» take place. Miss Massey was scarcely more than a child when her father took his place at the head of affairs in the Dominion. “Since then,” said Sir Francis, “you have hovelled abroad with him and vou have seen him take him place among the foremost statesmen of the world, a place to which he was undoubtedly entitled. We hope that this gift will ’remind you that we of the Ministrv have been to your father in his political life, what you have been to him in his home life. Me wish you n ,anv years of happiness together.”
