HOSPITAL MATRON'S RETURN.

After thanking the members of the board for the reception, Miss O'Connor was asked several questions. She said she had had the pleasure of meeting Lord Nuffield at Guy's in London, where lie had built a new hospital. "When I informed him that I was from New Zealand. Lord Nuffield said: 'I am pleased to meet you. I have just returned from your delightful country and I am going back again." She said she visited Codford, where she spent two years and a half of her life during the war.
The nurses are poorly paid at Home, said the matron, and private hospitals charge as much as £20 a week in many places."
