NOTES FOR WOMEN

SOCIAL AND PERSONAL. ■Widespread regret will be felt at the death of Mrs Duncan, wife of Mr John Duncan, formerly manager for Levin and Co. in Wellington. For a few months Mrs Duuoan had resided at Heretaunga, and had been an invalid for some time before her death, which occurred on Thursday. Mrs Duncan was of a most kind and charitable disposition, and made many lasting friends. Her charity was never invoked in vain. During the war she not only assisted many patriotic funds, ‘but doubled her subscriptions to local works. Among the organisations she was greatly interested in were St. Mary’s Homes at Karori and the Ladies’ Christian Association. Airs Duncan, who was in her seventy-third year, is survived by her husband, one daughter, and throe sons —Messrs lan, Kenneth, and Arthur Duncan, of Wellington. Mrs P. Grinin, of Wellington, and her son are visiting Christchurch. Hie engagement is announced by a Christchurch paper of Miss Marjorie Kirk, daughter of Air and Airs J. H. iiirk, “Abberley,” St. Albans, and Air Robert Wreaks, son of Mrs Wreaks, Clyde road, Fendalton. , Airs James Fulton, who died at West Taieri, aged ninety, was the third daughter of the late Judge Valpy, of the Hon. East India Company’s Service, and was born in England in 1829. Air Valpy and his family came to New Zealand in Io4S. The voyage was made on the Ajax, which took four months/to make the trip to Port Chalmers.

Eight grandsons, one son-in-law, and seven grandnephews were on active service in the war.

Tiro Church of Christ, Aloorliouse avenue, Christchurch, was the scene of an interesting and pretty wedding on Thursday, when Aliss Seeta Phyllis Oakley, youngest daughter of Air and Airs Henry Oakley, of Christchurch, was married to Air William S.
