% onsul at Monaco, vrites:-

I feel I oughit, and I shotild also like, to give a very brief appreciation of the great services that Mrs. Tupper-Carcy, wife of Canon A. D. Tupper-Carcy, has rendered to her country, to she British residents, and visitors to the Principality of Monaco and its neighbourhood durin_ the past eight vears that she has been living there. And also in the far wider tield of helping others of all nationalities, who have at various periods fotund thcmsclves almost destiiute in her neighboLirhood. As soon as she was aware of the dire need of anvbne, without asking any of the whys and wfherefores, she did all in her power to give them temporary assistance and help, showing that trLie Christian spirit that regards all as fellow-creatures when misfortune falls upon them. Shc spoke French fluently, and was thus able to use her influcnce to the full with local authorities, who admired greatly her desire for the welfare of all whatever race or creed. The .mall club attached to the chaplain's residence, to which any British people were always welcome, was her special care, and theie all who were not possessed of the wherewithal to amuse themselves were sure of a genuine welcome and of meeting many others of the same position as themselves. Many sailors and others have told me of the gratitude they felt towards Mvlrs. Tupper-Carey for her continual interest in their welfare and happiness. As she was laid to rest in the beautiful and peaceful proximity of a small country church in Wiltshire, where 48 years before she had been married. one felt how truly it could be said: " Well done, thou good and faithful servant." There will be many who will sorely miss that very thoughtful, kindly, hospitable personality. and those who had the joy of her fricndship will ever remember her for showing them how much unselfishness can do to make life so much worth while. To Canon Tupper-Carey there is an infinite feeling of sympathy that a tragic accident should have taken her away from his side, and from a life of such great utility from which she can truly ill be spared.
