It has been feaid of Mrs Staveley’s productions that tlie TaMy never had a failure. The latest production, “Rip Van Winkle,” will be recalled as one -of the outstanding successes,' the initiation of the production,' arid its whole preparation being in the lady ! a hands. Mrs Staveley has also been ! a teacher of music, and dancing, and produced many talented pupils, Ifar own son and daughter being among the number. Mrs Staveley has taken a leading part in local' clubrand, games, and has been identified very closely with tennis and golf.
