A Wellington < boy, writing of Y.M.C.A, work in. Egypt, says: "We are all tired beyond" measure of Cairo and surroundings; in fact, I usually spend my evenings in the Y.M.O.A. tent in camp, and I find this the only clean and refreshing place yet visited in Cairo. There are two middle-aged people, who Iravo come out from Scotland especially for this work- among the New Zealand forces, and they take great interest in the chaps, and we all appreciate their efforts very much because they oro so genuinely attached to the work they have taken up. . . . They have the

tent so well fitted up and comfortable and generally there is something special on of an evening, either concert or lecture, or jjerhaps a general social evenins;, and it goes with an.old New Zeatentf swing. . . . The majority of tlio chaps aro very attached to tho old iadv, who is as "kfn3 hearted as possible and knows human nature to tho last letter. I firmly believe that when wo eventually go to the front, these good people will come too, for "they seem 'so attached to tlio camp and its inmates." Mr. Varney informs us that the two midflle-aged people referred to aro Sir. ond Mrs. W. M. Oates, of Glasgow, Scotland. They passed through New Zealand some years ago; and wore so charmed with New "Zealand hospitality that thoy have voluntarily left tfheir homes and are endeavouring to repay in some small measure kindness received on that trip, by serving New Zealand's soldiers; and ftSj' are thoroughly appreciated, evidently.
