Aliss Pattrick, Director of Piunket Nursing, has been on a visit to Hastings and presided at a. conference of the Hawke ’s Bay Piunket nurses held at Jhe Piunket rooms. “Improve your golf!” seems to bo the slogan of a young lady visitor to Wanganui, who was seen practising with her clubs on the'’ footpath in front of one of the leading hotels in the Avenue. As she hit at an imaginary ball crowds of men. and women were hurrying to work, but their smiles were unnoticed'by the young golf enthusiast, who kept her eye on the “ball” and swung her brassie with renewed vigor.
