PLUNKET DAY.
LADY ALICE FERGUSSON'S INTEREST. Lady Alice Fcrgusson, wife of the Governor-General, has signified her personal interest in the movement to strengthen the finances of the Plunket Society in a letter addressed to Mrs. VV. H. Parkes, local president of the organisation. Her Exceliuncy wriied: — "May I send you my best wishes for the effort you u:e waning at this time With your committee on behalf of the work of the Plunket nurses? It has been my privilege to see a great deal of the work since coming to New Zealand. I have visited the Karitane Hospitals and also the Plunket rooms in many centres, and am completely convinced as to the invaluable nature of the work, and the incalculable benefit that the mothers and babies of New Zealand have received through it. Every good citizen-should, I think,-wish to see the Plunket Society in every centre placed 6n a sound financial footing. I, therefore, hope most earnestly that your present efforts will be crowned with success and that the future steady support of the work in Auckland will be assured, by the result of "Plunket Day."
