    The sum of £6 8s. 7d. has been raised by the collection <md sale of “ Silver Paper.” Mrs. Hartley, of 41, Stanhope Hoad, will be very glad to receive parcels of “ Silver Paper.” By this means it is hoped to raise sufficient funds to endow a Pot in the new Memorial Hospital. The Linen League has made a ])romising start. At the lirst Annual iNIeeting held in October over 60 Vice-Presidents attended. It was reported that £129 has been raised, and 1,6()()» garments made during the short period the League has been in existence. Mrs. E. LI03M Pease was again elected President and Mrs. Hartley, Honorary Secretary. The first re-union of Sisters and Nurses was held at the Hospital in October. The large number who travelled con¬ siderable distances to attend the function speaks volumes for the ■esteem in which the Hospital is held by those who in past years have laboured therein. The Hospital, which is now recognised by the Nursing Council as a Training School for Nurses, has ado]:)ted an appropriate badge, which every Nurse trained in the Institution is proud to possess. The Committee are warm in their praise of the Matron and Staff for their devoted labours in the interests of the suffering. The efficiency of the Hospital, notwithstanding the difficulties to be overcome owing to the inadequate accommodation, has been maintained, which is greatly to the credit of the administrative Staff. Signed) LI. BLANCHE PEASE, Chairman and Honorary Secreiary of the Ladies' Committee.
