STAWELL NURSE AND SOLDIER MEET.
Sister T. Chadwick, who has been attached to the Harefield Park Hospital, England, in a letter home, dated.: 13/3/16, wrote interestingly of her experiences in the institution. In the course of her letter she refers to a pleasant meeting she had with a Stawell boy who had been brought to the hospital. The following is an extract from the letter in question. On Saturday last we lost all our old boys, who went off to Southampton to board the hospital ship. All the officers, sisters and orderlies were at the front door to see them off. The boys were quite broke up at leaving. The place after they left was desolate, and everyone was depressed at the loss of our boys. In spite of the glorious weather Harefield was a very sad place on Saturday and Sunday. The next day the remaining boys were taken down to the woods for a picnic to cheer them up. We boiled, the billy in true Australian style, and after tea gathered violets' primroses, and wood anemones, which are now all blooming in great profusion. The fox gloves and blue bells are beginning to come out. Spring is glorious here. For days the sun has been shining.
Our spirits revived again and on the same day there arrived new cases on the scene. I received three, and fancy a Stawell boy was — Sergeant Sam Uren no less. It was so funny how we discovered each other. I took his particulars — name, Sergt.-Major Uren, enlisted at Sydney (brother to Constable Uren, of Ararat).
He asked from which State I came, so I said Victoria. Then he said, I come from ' Victoria: too. I was born in Ballarat, and my folk come from Stawell. I then knew he was one of Mrs Uren's' sons, and told him I came from Stawell too. He jumped up and asked my name, and when I told him there was the greatest hand shaking. He was delighted and kept saying, Well, I never. He said he had received a letter from friends in Stawell who had told him if ever he came to England to be on the look out for me, and it seemed so strange that he should walk straight into my ward. He has been wounded in the leg and has a bad dropfoot but time and treatment will cure him completely. - "News".

Sister Eva H. Chapman is a daughter of the late Mr. A. G. Chapman. She was a gold medallist at the Adelaide Hospital, and left with the 2nd Australian General Hospital for the front in November, 1914 for Egypt. She was an Anzac nurse, and attended some of the first Australian wounded from Gallipoli. After similar duties in Egypt, she escorted wounded troops to England, and then returned to Adelaide (early in 1916). Following upon several months on service at Keswick, she was ordered to Egypt with the 14th Australian General Hospital in July, 1916, and she is still on duty there. On several occasions she has acted as sister in charge of hospitals during the temporary absence of the matron. Sister Chapman was on the first boat to reach the Southland when it was torpedoed, and she had several similar experiences, and was "held up" by a German submarine in the Mediterranean, but the vessel was subsequently allowed to proceed to Alexandria.

Mrs. G.S. Chapman gave a very successful tea party at the Queen Mary club last week to enable the many friends of her elder daughter, Miss Joi Chapman, to say good-bye to her before her departure en route for England, on Saturday. Miss Joi Chapman, who has already been to England as one of the selected 'Girl Orderlies' hopes to get some work to help soldiers in England or France. She has already proved by her unflagging energy in doing really hard and strenuous work as a 'girl orderly' that she is one of those who can be depended upon, and who take up the work in earnest, and not 'pour paeser le temps'.
In her invitations Mrs. Chapman chiefly, of course, considered her daughter's friends, but
she also had some older people, who were friends of many years' standing. The place of
honour was given to Miss Chapman's great-aunt, Mrs. Nicholas Brown, with whom, after
greeting the hostess and her daughter, everyone contributed to have a few words, for
Mrs. Nicholas Brown is one of those dainty little ladies that it is always a pleasure to meet.
The rooms were beautifully decorated with roses, and a delicious teas was served during
the afternoon. Miss Chapman was the recipient of any amount of good wishes and
complimentary remarks, all of which she received in natural, unaffected fashion.

The Prahran Baby Welfare Centre will be under the direction of Dr R. H. Fetherston, local city health officer, and will be in charge of Sister Chester, who was recently appointed as city inspectress by the Prahran Council. Sister Chester possesses valuable qualifications upon the subject of child life. She received her training at the Children's and Foundling Hospitals, and has a special knowledge of health matters generally. Sister Chester put in three years service abroad as a military nurse during the great war. She has a brightness and home-llness of manner, coupled with an activity of mind, which should fit her well for the important duties that she has undertaken in Prahran, and parents will undoubtedly find in her a sincere friend.

Fetherston, local city health officer, and will be in charge of Sister Chester, who was recently appointed as city inspectress by the Prahran Council. Sister Chester possesses valuable qualifications upon the subject of child life. She received her training at the Children's and Foundling Hospitals, and has a special knowledge of health matters generally. Sister Chester put in three years service abroad as a military nurse during the great war. She has a brightness and home-llness of manner, coupled with an activity of mind, which should fit her well for the important duties that she has undertaken in Prahran, and parents will undoubtedly find in her a sincere friend.
