A London correspondent writes that Miss G. Valentine Howey (Christchurch), formerly of Timaru, has been appointed organising secretary for the appeal fund of Westminster Hospital, which is to be rebuilt on a new site, but still in the vicinity. The Westminster was the first voluntary hospital in England, and is more than 200 years old. The rebuilding includes a home for the nurses and the removal from North London of the research department. The Prince of Wales is president of the hospital, and it is hoped that Queen Mary will be able to lay the foundation stone in June. A London correspondent states that Mr and Mrs Herbert Elworthy (Timaru) are expecting the arrival of their daughter, Miss Elizabeth Elworthy, by the Rangitiki on April 17. With their other daughter, Miss Cecil Elworthy, they will all motor to Devonshire to spend Easter with Captain and Mrs J. N. Bendyshe, at Broomford Manor. After that a motor tour will be made to the North of England, and several weeks will be spent in London before Mr and Mrs Elworthy return to New Zealand. Miss Elizabeth Elworthy will remain in England for a few months longer, making Broomford Manor her headquarters.
