He had trouble, too, keeping up ~with- brilliant -- surgeon: Dr. Sargent's problem was something 'else again. Last Week: Tran is admonished nursing director, 1 CHAPTER 111 When Tran got back to her room, Beula Tagg, her room-mate, had just returned from an uncom- fortable 15 minutes, of her own in Miss Armstrong's office. "She said," Beula outlined the interview gloomily, "that neatness in dress is a primary requisite for a successful nurse. But. will you tell me: how any girl can look really snappy in these meal sacks they call student uniforms?" She was standing before the bu- reau "mirror, eyeing herself with burning dissatisfaction as she turned and twisted for a better view. z To say that Beula looked "snappy" in her uniform would undoubtedly have been: to over- state the case. Beula was on the short, plump side--a type of fig- urce to which a billowy white apron tied about the middle is definitely not flattering. ~ Tran tried to reconcile sympa- thy with truth. "They aren't exactly slimming," the agreed. "And it's my bet they "were designed by a father of 10 whose war cry was, 'A woman's place, is the home! But why are probes to be choosy?" = As a matter of fact, Tran could "afford to be philesophical. On her own slim figure the gray' uniform, with its plain white cuffs and col- lar awd its voluminous white apron, had somewhat the effect of a de- murely picturesque peasant mas- querade. © : - Beula looked comforted, but not entirely reassuerd as she continu- ed to twist and turn before the mirror. a "] suppose | might try not ty- ing the strings so tight," she ob- served, frowning. and third helpings of dessert," Tran. suggested unwarily. This Business of Seniority It was a tactical -errors As a nurse, Beula was her senior-- only by the three days, it is true, which a flooded railroad track had made Tran late in matriculating; but as Beula saw it, itymight as well have been. three years . . . That was one funny thing about this business of seniority. Logic- ally, the senior nurse at any given time and place should have been the one in authority. But "senior nurse; it 'appeared, could be a purely relative term, . depending entirely on length of service. | So farias Tran could see, every girl in the hospital except herself was senior to some one ¢lse, and "fo be respécted as such... Beula Tagg chose the present moment to enforce that point. ik "Say, listen, Utility--Miss Arm- strong want you. she. finished, tying her apron with a final vicious jerk, "may God have- mercy on your soul!

"IVIL be plain "Fu- " tility" ; the coming interview, Tran quoted to herself, as she hurried along the miles of passage that led to "Miss Armstrong's office, certain in- spirational passages from the last lesson in "A Nurse and = Her World"; 'To admit the possibility _.of fear is to be defeated" -- "A nurse must be In command of her own emotions before she . hope to command unpleasant situ- ations," ; Sure! Tran muttered to herself, The only trouble is that Miss DR.

And," cause if Miss Armstrong's heerl be -*Tranquility' -or- even 'Utility' - By way of bracing herself for can yesterday afternoon, you wera standing in the west corridor with Dr. Benchley's arms around you?" Tran was caught so completely off her guerd by this unforeseen attack that she could only sit, her- eyes getting biggerand darker and more startled. : "Perhaps," Miss Armstrong was' going on, "I:should explain that at 'the moment I happened to be going up in the west elevator-- and the elevator, if you recall, has glass doors." ire After a monient Tran said in a small, helpless voice, "Oh, yes! . +. Of course. . . . I was, wasn't 1?" k d Then because, in her complete stupefaction, she had forgotten to - catch her checks between her tecth, she giggled. "Oh, I--I'm sorry!" she gasped. . . . Now Miss Armstrong would think she was shameless, . . . "But," she stumbled on, "I--well, we really couldn't havé helped outselves, . . , You see I ran in- to him so hard 1 almost knocked him down, and naturally--" "I see." Miss Armstrong spoke almost casually. Very Kind Eyes She was tall and strongly made --still lithe and sure at 60--with live, shrewd, humorous brown eyes under a.mass of softly wav. ing hair. . . . Eyes that knew how to be very kind, "And just where," she went on dryly, "were you running? . From or to, I mean?" "To and from;" Tran corrected desperately, gripping the arms of her; chair. . . . "To Miss Millar's class and from' Emergency... . . Oh, Miss Armstrong, 1 do so want to be a surgical nurse, and two policemen were bringing a man with a bullet in him into Emergen- cy just as we passed the door." After what seemed to Tran a hundred years, Miss. Armstrong said again, "1 see: , . . This learn ing to nurse does seem like a long, drab affair sometimes, does it not? Bu' sometimes 1 wish some of you girls could have known it--iwell, when [I was in training, for instance. In these days, for the first few weeks 'we scrubbed floors till our knees were raw.

Tran cried 'quickly. "Not like this. Please go on." A New Resolve So Miss Armstrong did go on; and as Tran listened, her eyes dark and shining, she had no need to bite her cheeks. Never in her | life had she been farther from 4 laughter. a When she finally got up-to go --because, somehow, without a suggestion having been made, she knew that was what was expect- ed of her--she found that shc un-., derstood why it was that the oldér nurses swore by Miss Armstrong, | why jaunty young internes, leav- ing her presence, sometimes look- ed like repentant small boys, why it was that, gs nurses, her gradu. © atés ranked highest in the state. |- At the last moment Miss Arm. strong had said, "Of. course, if | you are especially interested in surgical "nursing, you. will" want sometime to work: with Dr. Sar-. gent, Every young nurse should. May I make a suggestion?" Her face was grave, but her dark eyes twinkled. . . . Tran found herself wondering if some- | times, years ago, Miss Armstrong might have had to bite her cheeks, | too.' ; . !
