NURSfcS' MEMORIAL. In reference to the article "Tlio 'Five Sinters,' The Women's War Memorial;" which appeared in The Pit Ess on Saturday, describing the, memorial in York Minster, "to the women of the Empire who gave their lives in thtt war," it is interesting to not© that C'hristohurch has a very beautiful memorial erected to^honour the memory of all those connected with the nursing profession who gave their livos l'or their country. This is the Nurses' Memorial Chapel at the Public Hospital, the foundation stone of which was laid by the Duke of York on March 15th, 1927. The money required to build the chapel was subscribed by niirses and those interested in the nursing profession, by doctors, and the public generally. In the chapelj which is for the use of all denominations, are tablets erected to the memory of Christcliurch nurses, who were lost at the sinking of tho Marquette, and who died during the war and the influenza epidemic in 1918-1919.-The caro and upkeep of the chapel has been undertaken by the members of the Hospital Ladv Visitors' Association, which, for more than forty years, lias been working in the interests of patients in the Christchurcli Hospital.

VICE-REGAL RECEPTION.

The blustering winds of Thursday morning, which swept Auckland in the early hours, had calmed down considerably by the afternoon, but brilliant though tho sunshine was there was no warmth in it and the atmosphere was uncomfortably piercing, says the New Zealand "Herald." In delightful contrast were the rooms at Government House where their Excellencies the GovernorGeneral and Lady Bledisloe held a reception. Brightly burning fires offered an irresistible invitation, and, the warm soft colouring of the flowers which were everywhere to be seen added to their welcome. Great bowls of hydrangeas, the beautiful bronze gold of chrysanthemums, low bowls of carnations, and tall stands of guelder roses were more suggestive of summer than of winter. Their Excellencies received in the large reception room, Lady Bledisloe wearing an ensemble of • champagne georgette with a small close-fitting hat turned back from the face and caught with a diamante ornament. Lady Norali Jellicoe wore a frock of forest green crepe de chine with a loose cape effect at the back and small green hat, and Mrs A. C. Day was in an ensemble of black satin with black and white scarf and hat repeating the two colours. Sir John Hanham, Mr A. C. Day, and Lieutenant Elworthy assisted in the entertainment of the guests. Tea was served in the dining-room and in the ballroom, the tables having been arranged with chrysanthemums and hydrangeas. In the latter room the hanging baskets of fern were very picturesque against the white background of the walls. An orchestra played a number of delightful selections.

SIR HENRY SEGRAVE MEMORIAL COTTAGE. Mr and Mrs David Crozier, Mr and Mrs G. W. Tench, Mr and Mrs E. Middleton, Mr and Mrs A. H. Haden, and Mr 11. A. Barrett, representing the British Manufacturing Association of New Zealand (Canterbury branch) were the guests of the House Committee of the Christchurch branch of the Plunket Society at an informal little gathering on tsaturday afternoon. The visitors were welcomed at the Karitane Babies' Hospital, Cashmere Hills, by Mrs J. Cracroft "Wilson (president), Mrs A. R. Bloxam (vicepresident), Mrs M. H. Godby, and Mrs Cecil Wood, and were then shown over the recently-erected Sir Henry Segrave Memorial Cottage, which provides accommodation for the night nurses at the liospital. The building of the cottage, picturesquely situated on the hill behind the main building, and commanding a fine view of the plains, was made possible by the gift of £179 5s lOd from the British Manufacturers' Association (Canterbury branch), being half tho profit of the Golden Arrow Motor Exhibition. The visitors said they were delighted that the gift had been devoted to such a useful purpose, and they expressed pleasure at the neatness and charm of the rooms with tlieii; furnishings in two shades of blue and their brass memorial tablet. After 'inspecting fho hospital, tho visitors wore entertained at tea in the nurses' dining-room.

With the approval of the local representative on the School Committee and of their parents, the children living . at Athenree and Bowentown and attending the Katikati public school, Auckland, have gone on strike as a protest against the refusal of the Railway Department to alter the hour of departure of the morning train from 7.35 to 8 o'clock. The grievance is that the train invari ; ably runs late by half an , hour to an hour, and that with the present timetable the children have to leave home for the staiton before sunrise. The parents >say they will keep the children at homo until such tizbo as an alteration is made, and the Auckland Education Board has been communicated with on the subject. Sixteen pupils are affected.
