Prince and Princess Arthur spent an interesting hour the other day inspecting the new home of the Middlesex Hospital nurses, which is complete now, needing only the tennis court to be added. Princess Arthur wore the fashionable light navy blue ensemble of dress and long coat with a hat to match. Lady Carnwath was also in navy, and Lady Bland-Sutton chose black. The nurses already have a swimming pool and badminton court attached to their charming new premises, and one of the innovations in the building is a tap on every landing from which tea can be made at once because the water is always boiling hot. Every floor in the home has its own colour scheme; these are orange, cream, apple green and turquoise blue, and the furniture is all of the newest builtin, space-saving kind. The matron has her own cottage in the spacious grounds, and after seeing that the royal visitors were taken to the new children’s ward in the hospital. “This is like a nursery,” said Princess Arthur, and she was right, for this light, airy room had animal pictures painted on the tiled walls and dainty painted furniture about the little beds.
