STUDY OF NURSING THREE BRANCHES SUGGESTED A brief outline of the annual report of the Auckland branch of the New Zealand Trained Nurses’ Association was given by Mrs. Todd Smith at the annual meeting in the Nurses’ Clubrooms, Mountain Road, last evening. Mrs. Todd Smith was in the chair in the absence of Mrs. Tracey Inglis. The chief item in the report was the new night-quarters for the nurses, which were now ready for use. The cost of the additional wing was about £1,500. It was also mentioned that Lady Alice Fergusson had become patroness of the association. It was hoped that many Auckland nurses would avail themselves of the opportunity of taking a post-graduate course for nurses which had been established in Wellington. The coursewas to be taken between Victoria College and the Wellington Hospital, and, the Health Department, which was/ really financing the course, was pro-, viding other facilities. The objects were to train sisters for the higher positions of matrons, and nurses ill public health work. It was suggested that the various branches should be divided into three divisions—nursing education, private nursing and public health. Miss A. Bagley explained the advantages df the proposed division and said that each section would be able to study its own particular branch of work, and would thus stimulate the interest of the nurses and increase membership. It was decided to adopt the suggestion, and convenors for the various divisions were elected as follows: Nursing education, Miss L. Taylor; private nursing, Miss K. Gumming; public health, Miss A. Bagley. A message of sympathy was sent to Mrs. Tracey Inglis. who has been ill for some time, and a vote of thanks for her sympathetic and helpful work as president of the Auckland branch was passed. Votes of thanks were also passed to Miss Houchen and members of the council for their work. A member of the association and council for many years, Miss Stewart, was elected an honorary life member, and Mrs. Todd Smith and Miss Taylor were elected vice-presidents of the council. A little grated orange-rind is a good substitute if lemons are not available. In fact, it is a great improvement to many dishes, such as apple or . rhubarb.

FLANNEL DANCE POWER BOARD STAFF Even the rain that fell in torrents did not detract very much from the success that attended the very enjoyable flannel dance given by the Auckland Electric-Power Board Social Club in the social hall in Quay Street last evening. Mr. A. J. Dobson, an energetic secretary, had seen that everything possible had been done for the enjoyment of the dancers and had personally supervised the decorating of the ballroom and supper room.

Eggs treated in this manner are especially good for cream puffs.
