Social Functions

On Wednesday, October sth, Miss Kohn entertained the delegates at luncheon. There were also present Miss Bicknell, and Council members of the Wellington Branch.

That evening a reception was held m the Pioneer Club, the hostesses being Mrs. Valintine, Mrs. Paget and Miss Bicknell. A most enjoyable time was spent, an amusing competition adding to the pleasure.

On Thursday, the delegates were taken for a drive along the new Khandallah road, with its fine view over the harbour, and then on to Silverstream, where they were entertained by Dr. and Mrs. Elliott. Tea was served m the garden beside a flowering cherry tree, and was much enjoyed. So, also, were the flowers, the beautiful stretches of brilliant green, the walks m the bush, and the perfect wea-

ther. All, were sorry that the visit was so short.

On Thursday evening an open meeting was held at the Nurses* Club, 1 Kensington Street. Her Excellency, Lady Alice Fergusson, who is now Patroness of the Association, honoured us by her presence and showed great interest m the various papers read. Later, Her Excellency asked that members should be presented to her, and charmed everyone by her interest and sympathy with nursing matters.

On Friday the members of the Council, Wellington Branch, were at home at the Nurses' Club. A pleasant afternoon was spent with plenty of conversation and a refreshing tea. Farewell to the delegates brought a profitable and happy Conference to an end.
