the opportunity offered to visit the
Augusta General hospital Wednesday
afternoon in view of the fact that it
was the annual Hospital day of the
institution, the observance being car
ried out under the auspices of the
Ladies' Hospital Aid. From to 3
o'clock the hospital and the Haynes
Home for Nurses were both open for
the inspection of visitors. The wealth
err, that of a summer day, could not
have been better, and added not a
little to the pleasure of the occasion.
People were coming and going con-
tinualy during the hours mentioned,
and it is safe to say that but few of
the visitors at the hospital departed
without the feeling that they had
learned something new concerning the
good work that is being carried on by
that institution.
1t was distinctively ladies' event
so far as the entertainment was con-
'erned. The guests were greeted by
ladies as they entered the buildings
and it was under the guidance of ladie:
that the tour of the wards and other
parts of the buildings was made. Dur
ing their visit guests were invited to
Dartake of refreshments of sandwiches
and cake, tea and coffee, Mrs. S. c. c.

ed coffee and Mrs. H. n. Whitman
