LADY WOLSELEY

A VISIT TO THE DOMINION AUCKLAND, Feb. 14. Lady Wolselev, widow of Sir Carol Wolselev, Bart, a distinguished member of an old Saxon family, of which the late Field-Marshal Lord Wolselev was a member, arrived in Auckland by the Maungnnui this morning. Lady Wolselev is on her lirst visit to the Dominion. Although she is well known to New Zealanders, having extended them hospitality during the war years, it was through her cousin. Lord Knolly.s, who was in Auckland two years ago. that she decided to make the trip. The Hon. Charlotte Knollys, the constant companion of Queen Alexandra until hen death, is Lady Wolseley’s aunt and godmother, and is till living in London. Tho first Lord Knollys, private .secretary to King George, was her uncle. The Right Hon. Sir William Knollys, K.C.8., her grandfather, was at one tie Comptroller of the Royal Household. “I certainly think that Englishmen, and women, too, should see as nuieh as possible of the dominions. The iunoranee abroad among certain people in regard to this part of the world is appalling,” declared Lady Molseley, who has no mean record as a globetrotter, though this is her first visit to New Zealand and Australia. That women with a certain amount of capital should leave England and settle in Australia is one of Lady Wolseley’s contentions. “I believe there are excellent opportunities awaiting women with a certain amount of money.’’ she said. “Our women showed what they could do in tho war years, and I feel certain that this class would do splendidly in Australia.” Tt is just possible that Lady Wolselcy, who has engaged somewhat extensively in journalism—she was on the “Daily Mail” staff at one time during Lord North'd iffe’s regimewill convey some of her New Zealand impressions into print. She has three books to her credit and is engaged on another during her present trip.
