Social annals of the West:--

Deep regret was felt at the passing of Mrs. Louise Mary FORBES, widow of
Lieut. Col. Charles D'Oyley FORBES, who, with his wife, came to the
Westralia in 1885 and played an important part in Perth's social life. Mrs.
FORBES was a grandaughter of the Countess de VOLBERT, who fled to Mauritius
during the First Revolution. The right to call herself a countess if the
BOURBONS return now passes to Mrs. FORBES'S daughter, Mrs A.B. KIDSON.

Mrs GOFF, with son Peter, is packing grips for a jaunt to Los Angeles,
California, where she will stay with her daughter, Mrs Stitch ELDER, son
Ivan, joint-authur of " Not So Innocent," is on his way to the same spot.

A little bird flying from one of Pat HAMILTON'S intimates to another induced
her friends to hastly cancel previous engagements and dash along to St.
George's Chapel to see her married to Captain J. ["Streaker"] SCOTT-YOUNG.

>From Adelaide:--

Manytea-parties have been given for Evelyn, only daughter of
Cathedral-organist J.M. DUNN. She is to marry Don, son of the late Dr.
DOWNEY, at St. Peter's College chapel this week. Among the hostesses were
Dorothy FINLAYSON, WALKERVILLE, and Mrs Alan LENDON and Mrs. James IRWIN
[recent bride].

Cheers
Bev
