Hawke's Bay Branch

The August meeting of the Hawke's Bay Branch of the N.Z.T.N.A. was held m Hastings, m Mrs. (Dr.) Wright's drawing-room, which was beautifully decorated with flowering-plum blossoms and sprays of pussy-willow. Thirty-two nurses were present, the majority of these had motored out from Napier. Dr. Reeves, of Havelock, gave a very instructive lecture on the digestive juices, and although he was too shy to wait

for a formal vote of thanks. The nurses showed their appreciation by simply clapping him out of the room. After the remits for the October Conference of the N.Z.T.N.A. were discussed, a delectable afternoon tea was served. Before the close of the meeting a heart}- vote of thanks was given to Mrs. Wright for the generous hospitality which had given such pleasure to so many nurses.
