The many friends of Mrs IC. (Doris) Wilkinson, of Clive, Hawke's Bay, will learn with extreme regret of her death, which occurred at Napier on the 7th instant, after a brief illness. The deceased was the eldest doughter of Mr. E. Reiminschneider, of Waitotara, and was practically a native of that district; where she was widely known and highly respected- Jn March last she was married in St. Mark's Church, Waitotara, to Mr. K. Wilkinson, of Hawke's Bay. The news was received throughout the district with the keenest regret, and needless to say, (says, the Wanganui Chronicle), to the bereaved parents and family are extended the sincere sympathy of the community, including the Maori people, of Waitotara, who, as it were, classed her as one of their own "tamarikis" (children), so endeared she was to all who knew her.

Widespread regret will be felt at tlrc sad news of the early death of Mrs. Garfield Crawford, wife of Dr. v Crawford, of Invercargill, who was a very popular Wellington girl, as Miss Myra Shirtcliffe, second daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Cr. Shirtclifl'e, of Tinakori-road, Welling-/ ton. Mrs. Crawford, before her marriage, was an enthusiastic patriotic worker, and, when the worst kinds of sickness had striken the camp at Trentham, drove her motor-car there daily with comforts for sick soldiers and convalescents in an absolutely fearless manner. Later, when things were happily improved, she continued her good work, and drove the Lowry Bay Convalescent Home motor up to the time of her marriage. There are many returned soldiers who will be among those who appreciated her bright kindliness, and will regret her death. Great sympathy will be felt for Dr. Crawford and his infant daughter, and also with Mr. and Mrs. Shirteliffe and family, in tlieir j, 'bereavement, "HARD-UP DANCE." Afc the East End pavilion last Wednesday night, Misses Watkins and Mon--teath arrauMd a uaiout da&M aalied

the "Hard-up;" the proceeds of which were handed over to the Old Girls' Association for their new building scheme. | For the first four or five dances each i one wore a mask and great fun was j provided trying to guess one's partners. J The costumes for the most part were i screamingly funny, and most original j in their design, some wonderful and j weird elfects being obtained by old bits of window curtains, bath towels and i leaves. The supper tables were ablaze i with yellow gorsc and bracken fern, ■ while savoury eggs dotted here and there in tiny nests added greatly to the decorations. No oue used plates, leaves being served as a substitute. Altogether the dance was most enjoyable j and extremely joilv and great credit is j due to the originators. It is believed ! a substantial sum will be handed over I to the O.G.A. | WEDDINGS. j PEGG.-LONGSTAFF. A wedding of considerable local interest was celebrated at St. Andrew's Church, Ingiewood, on Thursday, 9th inst., between Mr. Horace A. Pegg, of Stanley, Tasmania, and Miss Celia H.

Locker's to bid farewell to Miss Copestake, who had labored so ungrudgingly in church and Sunday School. Mr. WTatson spoke feelingly of the loss sustained ; by Miss Copest.ike's departure, and pre'sented her on behalf of the congregation with a lovely suede bag and silverbacked hair-brush as slight tokens of love and appreciation for what she had done in the past. The singing of "Auld Lang Syne" and "She's a Jolly Good Fellow" brought to a close a pleasant time, just before "lights out." Miss Copestake left for Lepperton on Saturday last. —Press.
