The engagement is announced of Alias Eileen Ayling, younger daughter of Mrs. G. A. Ayling, Umeralla, Mount Eden, to Mr. Norman Parau Gibson, fourth son of Air. John Gibson, Piri Noa, New Plymouth.

Miss Armor, daughter of the millionaire Chicago meat packer, and heiress to £12,000,000, whose engagement has been announced, weighed only three pounds at birth, and her life was preserved in an incubator, says- the Liverpool Daily Post. An operation was performed when she was three years old. and for five months the child’s body was in a plaster cast. She later was taken to Vienna, where she was treated by Dr. Adolph Lorenz, a famous bloodless surgeon. Now she is a healthy, normal girl of 25, and took a most active interest in war work, part of the time as a nurse. Her financee. who is the son of another Chicago millionaire, was a student at Yale when the war began, and enlisted in the naval aviation corps. He never went abroad, however, for when flying at Key West, Florida, his machine came into collision with another, and boQi crashed to the ground. The officer in the other ’plane was killed, and for months young Mitchell’s life wm in danger.
