Sister Dodds, A.R.R.C., who for the past year has held the position of assistant matron at Queen Mary Hospital, Hanmer Springs, lias resigned that position with a view to travel and further experience, and is leaving shortly for Vancouver, to stay with relatives. On the eve of her departure she was Earewellerl by the nursing staff, who held a fancy dress party (only amongst staff) in her honour and presented her with a signer ring from the sisters and a travelling cloak from the hospital aides. Speeches were made and expressions of appreciation of her kindness and devotion to duty,with all good wishes for her future success and happiness. Sister Dodds is enjoying a holiday visiting friends before her departure for Vancouver. Sister F. Scott, of King Geonge Hospital, has joined the staff of Queen Mary Hospital, in charge of the massage department. Sister Hunter has been promoted to the position of Home Sister. Sister Joan Carmichael, late of Auckland Hospital, is enjoying her new duties at the Women's Hospital. Sister Tsobel Grey, late of Monticello Home, has joined the staff. After a glorious autumn, the trees unusually brilliant in shades of yellow, brown and russet, the scene is changed. The hills are covered in snow and heavy frosts are experienced at night, with brilliant sunshine during the day.
