AN autumnal background of chrysanthemums and autumn leaves (1934,) [1]
provided a handsome setting for a reunion of army nurses at their club rooms in the Orient Buildings on Saturday afternoon. Miss Helen Homan and Miss M. Ashton were the hostesses, and the guest of honor was Matron Gray, of Epworth Hospital, who was matron of the Perth Hospital before the war. Reminiscences were exchanged around the tea table. The opportunity was taken to wish bon voyage to Matron Tessa Dunn, formerly of the McGill Hospital, and Sister Wintle, who left yesterday in the Mongolia for a long tour of England. Other guests were Mesdames Collison, Watkins, Sherwood, H. J. Gray, and McKay, Matron Janet McDonald, Miss Berwick and others.
