Miss Joyce Barns has returned to Dunedin after spending the week-end with the Misses Rein, Gala street. Mr and Mrs John Hood, Koronui, Balfour, are visiting Christchurch for the Ford-Green wedding. Mr and Mrs A. R. Dunlop, Ramrig street, spent the week-end as the guests of Mrs T. Menzies Watson, Merrivale.

Miss Low, head teacher of the Heriot school, has been given 12 months’ leave of absence. She will leave shortly for England. A New Zealand nurse, Miss Margaret Henderson, who has spent the past five years and a-half in South Africa, has just returned to visit her parents in Auckland. She has been doing private nursing in Johannesburg with another New Zealand-trained, nurse, Miss Susie Collins. Working conditions in South Africa are excellent, on the whole, in Miss Henderson’s opinion. The abundance of native servants made nurses’ lives much easier, the natives doing all the rough work. With seven natives to every white person, the colour bar is most pronounced. Asked if the Plun-

ket system had found its way to South Africa, she said the Buxton Mothercraft Home in Cape Town was practically the only organization of its kind run on Plunket lines. There were, however, quite a number of Plunket nurses working privately throughout the country.
