Farewell to Miss Brown, A.R.R.C.

On Friday evening, September 26, at the Otago Women's Club, Mrs. Arthur Barnett gave an enjoyable "kitchen evening" for Miss Brown, Lady Superintendent of the Dunedin Hospital, who is shortly to be married. The room was arranged with yellow primroses and daffodils, and looked very pretty. Mrs. Barnett, after introducing Miss Brown, who had been presented by Mrs. Barnett with a posy of violas and roses, called upon Mrs. M. Macdonald to speak. Mrs. Macdonald m a few words sketched Miss Brown's career as matron of the Dunedin Hospital, showing how successful she had been and how much her departure would be regretted. In conclusion she thanked Mrs. Barnett for giving Miss Brown's friends such a

splendid opportunity of saying farewell to her. Miss Brown suitably replied, thanking Mrs. Barnett for the very enjoyable evening. Two large basketsful of parcels testified to the popularity which Miss Brown holds amongst her numerous friends. Songs were rendered by Mrs. P. Wilson, and two competitions were played. Among the many guests present weer the matrons, sisters and several nurses from the different hospitals m Dunedin, also some of the lady doctors and a good many of the doctors' wives. After supper three cheers were given for Miss Brown, and the singing of "For She's a Jolly Good Fellow" and Auld Lang Syne brought a very happy evening to a close.
