CURATE AS CORESPONDENT

I ESS than a year ago, the coincidental disappearance of Elfrida Lucia Gale, a young married woman, who sang m the choir of St. Paul's, and the Rev. Ellis Claude Wroughton Hassall, curate m the Anglican diocese, caused a flutter m the dovecotes of Dunedin, where subtle rumor jhad it that the parson and the woman had left the country together. At the Supreme Court sessions m Dunedin next week, Edward Stephen Gale, clerk, of Dunedin, will petition for a divorce against his wife on the ground of misconduct. The parson is joined up as co-re. This top-liner is sure .of a good house. An artist's impression of Rev. E. C. W. Hassall appears above.
