May 7 - 13 Issue From Left. The Australasian Melbourne, Vic. Alfred Hordern, which was placed at his disposal. Sydney Mail NSW : - , p. Apology To Mrs. IN last week's issue of "Smith's Weekly," a paragraph was published in Catty Communications, in which it was made to appear that Mrs. Del Gunning, wife of Mr. John Gunning, after a divorce, was contemplating remarriage.
