NEW ZEALAND WOUNDED.

LADY CuDI.EY.S HOME. liy Tcleg.-apli.--lTos-) Association. ■Wellington, Yesterday. Some account of the convalescent brine for New Zealand soldier-'. organis- ' id by Ladv (Icdlev in Eg; pt. is E.'iv'en l,v I Colonel Esson, in a li-tier to I lie Defeip.e I Minister, lie says:- "The New Zealand j Convalescent Home, under the manuL'ej niciil of Lady Cfidlcy, is a splendid little. 1 institution, and l.adv Cudloy, with a 1 small staff, is doing great wo'rk in comj phtillg the cures <•' mee di5e1e.;..,,,, irrmn nospilnl, v.] w ' V«ii: ! re V.^'aVJ bliildili" up before they take the field again. The Home, which has accommodation for thirty patients, is established ill a large anil well-appointed building I on the seaside, in one of the coolest and j best of Alexandria's suburbs. U lias been very comfortably fitted up, and tf-inai who ha.ve been fortunate enough to be sent there very much appreciate their quarters and treatment. The owner 1 " ! a ~ tjje 11,,,,,, [ has most placed it at Lady lO'Jtlley's disposa!. for til'.' e>e of sick at'd wounded Yew Zealanders, ing to the receipt of a large parcel of bedding, etc., from the New Zealand War Contingent Association in Kngland. and donations in eash and kind "from other sources, it will be possible to practically double the capacity of the pi'ese.i: N"\v Zealand Convalescent Home, with lilt'e, if any. additional co-t to the (j')vei'ninent.

I "These bonus are most necessarv, as at this time of the your life in lv;vpt under canvas, or outside a. stone building, is almost impossible. Yesterday, oven in Alexandria, it was lOildeir in the shade, and the sick in the convalescent camps suffered a good deal. Kver since. her arrival in Egypt UiAy Codloy has taken a very keen and sympathetic interest in our sick, and has never spared herself when working on their behalf. I have not met a more businesslike member of the fair sex, nor one in whom the faculty of management was so hi-jh-ly_ developed. Coed discipline is maintained in the home, and it is evident that the management of the institution is dictated by the head as well as by the heart. The home is an immense success, an aboslute necessity, and New Ze.alaudcrs have much reason to 1.0 greatful to their Conei-al's good lady for what she has undertaken to do on bohalf (jf their boys, instead of leaving for England or some cooler place, which is the course invariably followed during the summer by all who can possibly g.jt, away."
