A PRESENTATION.
The soldier patients Myrtle Bank presented Sister Agnes Shearer (late A.I.F.), of the eve of her marriage, with a beautiful silver-mounted oak tray, and the domestic staff of the institution presented her with some useful articles. The nurses entertained Sister Shearer at a kitchen tea, and at the conclusion handed her a complete kitchen outfit.
