Biography

Mrs. James Dyer Marries.

The wedding is announced of Louise, widow of the late James Dyer, and daughter of the late Dr. L. L. Smith, of Melbourne, to Dr. J. B. Hanson, of Balliol College, Oxford. Dr. Hanson holds the degrees of M.A. (Melb.), D. Litt, of the Sorbonne, Paris, and D. Phil. (Oxon.). Dr. and Mrs. Hanson are living at Oxford, and propose to stay there for at least the whole of 1940. Mrs. Hanson was last in Melbourne during the term of her brother (Sir Harold Gengoult Smith) as Lord Mayor. Before his marriage she acted as Lady Mayoress for him. When Mr. Dyer died she retired to her villa at Majorca, but during the Spanish war this island became a submarine base.
