Mrs. F. S. Stewart to Retire
AT the end of November, Mrs. F. S.
Stewart will retire from the man agement of the Bulolo Hotel (which she established in the pioneer days and which she has directed since she sold out to Messrs. W. R. Carpenter & Co., Ltd., some two or three years ago). Mr.
Monck will be in charge, from December 1.
It will be difficult to imagine the Bulolo Hotel without Flora Shaw Stewart.
In the old days, especially before com pany control of the mining fields, the hotel was the miners’ home from home, and a full bar and a full dining-room were the order of the day. But Wau as a whole has changed out of all imagina tion since then. Mrs. Stewart has been a staunch friend to a great many on the Goldfields, and her generosity is almost a by-word. Mrs. Stewart is well-known for her love of horses, and for her help ful participation in all racing carnivals.
Few nublic movements failed to enlist her support. The Wau Dramatic Society v/ill lose a good friend when she leaves the hotel.
Mrs. Stewart intends to take a short trip South, to see little daughter Flora (who is at school in Australia) and she then will settle down on one of her properties in Wau. Her Lae hotel, which is at present in the hands of her daughter (Miss Ela Gofton) will no doubt occupy some of her attention.
