A great many people in New Zealand will hear with very great regret of the death of Miss Frances Keith Payne, which occurred at "Ivenil worth," Hill street, Wellington; during the night: (says Friday's Wellington "Post"). Miss Pavne was a woman of fine, strong, and admirable personality, and made hosts of friends, among them being many of the nurses whom she trained while matron of the Wellington Hospital. Miss first joined Wellington Hospital staff in 1800, resigning in 1896, and was reappointed in 1899 as matron. In 1002 she went to llotorua as matron of the. sanatorium, returning to Wellington Hospital as matron in 1904, and there she remained to 1916, when she was obligeu to retire owing to ill-health. Miss Payne, therefore, was in the service of the Wellington Hospital Board for 21 years. Mi* s " Payne has heen on the Board or Examiners of the New Zealand nurses, and was to have taken part in examinations next week. While in Wellington last week, Mr W. J. Girling, M.P. for Wairau, made representations to the Minister of Public Health (the Hon. Sir Maui Pomare) in connexion with the maternity bonus scheme recently suggested by the Picton Hospital Board. Mr Girling informed a reporter that the Minister was anxious to do something to assist the workers in connexion with maternity expenses, and was about to evolve a scheme which he believed would give general satisfaction. Sir ' Maui had stated that though his scho;ne was .not just What was being asked for in some quarters, it would meet to a largo extent the requirements of those people who found confinement expenses a heavy drain on the family exchequer. After the New Zealand season finishes the "Aladdin" Pantomime Company returns' to Australia.

Apropos of revue. Miss Reeve mentions with pleasuro the variety and scope of the (sharacters it provides, although she herself actually prefers good comedy. She has played everything except grand opera. Miss Reeve, in fact, has not only appeared in ten different versions of "Aladdin," but has sustained such widely different characters as Prince Arthur in "King John," and Lady Teazel in "The School of Scandal."
