The girls in spotless white made an em- ergency bed, prepared mustard plaster, arranged an invalid's tray, and did various other things for a patient, with the expertness of train- ing and practice. The girls who took part in the demonstrations were as follows: Mary Powell, 'Leone Tres - Odor, Dorcas Roe, Dora Harrison, Melinda Brown, Frances Crich, Win- nifred Miller, Florence Sloggett and BettyAndrew. "One of the main features of the programme was a film on "Mother - craft," produced last year, by the Federation of Woman's •Clubs in the United States, and give here for the first time in Canada. At the close of the evening the guests were enter- tained by Dr, and Mrs. Dobson, Miss Ziegler and other members of the staff in the drawing room.
