MANY PARTIES
ARRIVAL OF U.S. NURSES MIDDLE EAST ENTERTAINMENT The arrival of American nurses in the Middle East was the occasion of many parties. Mrs R. G. Casey, wife of the British Minister of State, gave a 5 to 7 party at her flat in Cairo, and invited representatives of the nursing services. Lady Freyberg and Miss E. M. Nutsey, matron-in-chief, 2nd N.Z.E.F., were among the invited guests. A return party was given by the matron (called chief nurse) of the American 38th General Hospital. New Zealand nurses were, with the others present, shown over the hospital. They noted the cosily-heated hutments or wards, with water laid on to ’glass filters and with the paper cups provided for drinking. Convalescent patients were resplendent in plum-coloured dressing gowns of corduroy velveteen, with a monogram, “U.S.A.,’’ worked on the pockets.
