WOMAN’S WORLD.

EXHIBIT OF NURSING ACTIVITY. The New Zealand Health Department has prepared an exhibit of nursing activity in New Zealand, to be sent to the meeting of the International Council of Nurses to be held in Montreal in June. The exhibit is beautifully got up, and shows quite comprehensively all about the nursing services in New Zealand. First there is an exhibit of dolls dressed in the uniforms of different hospitals, to which St. Helens nurses, Dunedin, Masterton, and other hospitals have sent models.

Two hospital boards —Canterbury and Waikato—have sent books illustrating the larger and smaller hospitals under their charge and maps showing the positions of these hospitals. Then there is a book showing the work of maternity hospitals (St. Helens), and also the cottage hospitals under various boards. The Plunket Society has a large exhibit, photographs of Karitane hospitals and mothercraft homes, and a large board showing samples of the Plunket literature. The work of the rural nurses is shown also, and should give a good idea of the very fine work done among the Maoris and in the backblocks. What the nurses themselves anticipate will be of most interest to those of other countries is a book which shows the history of nursing in New Zealand. A brief summary of the early Act has been prepared, the start of St. Helens hospitals, leading up to the Act of 1925, when the Nurses and Midwives’ Registration Board was set up. The personnel of this board is shown, and the work of inspection of both public and private hospitals, with samples of the forms which have to be filled in and the registration forms. The work of the ante-natal clinics is also illustrated, and the various reports which are made. Altogether the book is a most comprehensive record, and will be of great interest to others at the gathering. Some Junior Red Cross exhibits have been included in two scrap-books, a beautiful one prepared by the Wellington Girls’ College juniors, and some of the health posters done by members. This has been done for the benefit of the American members, for the Red Cross plays a big part in the health activities of that The exhibit will be sent away this week to be ready for the conference. The New Zealand Trained Nurses’ Association will be represented at the conference by Miss McKenny, who leaves next month for Montreal.

EXERCISES FOR BEAUTY. To reduce the rounded contours of the hips in accordance with the slim boyish modern mode, an excellent exercise is the following :— Stand with the hands resting on the back of a chair, and, keeping the upper portion of your figure rigidly upright from the waist, raise your right foot very slowly straight out behind as far as it will go. Swing the leg round from the hip and bring your foot down in position behide the other. Then do the same with your left foot. MISCELLANEOUS. Ivory Beads. It is only natural that with the present vogue for black and white, ivory should come into its own again. There are necklaces with large round beads that are distinct to be wound round the column of the neck. Then there are little circles of ivory which are threaded with alternate circles of gold. Carved ivory medallions are seen on hats and bags, and, in addition, they are used as buckles. Glass Decorations. Glass is now one of the most popular materials for interior decorating. Many rooms have “wallpaper”’ or friezes of glass. One of the new flats in Mayfair has furniture of plateglass. COOKERY NOTES. A PLAIN RAISIN CAKE. Required : 11b flour, 6oz dripping, Jib raisins, 6oz granulated sugar, 1 grated lemon-rind, 2 level teaspoons baking powder, a little milk, 2 eggs. Stone the raisins and grate the lemon rind. Sieve together* the flour and baking powder. Beat the dripping and sugar to a soft cream, add the yolks of the eggs and beat well in. Then beat the whites to a stiff froth. Stir the flour in lightly, then add the raisins and enough milk to mix to a fairly stiff mixture. Lastly, pour in very lightly the whites of the eggs, pour the mixture into a well-greased tin, tie a band of brown paper round the outside of the tin, put a paper over the top if your oven is liable to burn, and bake in a moderate over till a bright skewer comes out clean when stuck into it. It will probably take an hour or an hour and a quarter. When done, turn it out of the tin, turn the tin upside down, and stand the cake on it till it is cold.
