I felt my face flush happily, George sald he "wanted me always to think nice things of him." I would, if only he were always as he was then! [I wanted desperately to throw my arms around his neck, to tell him 1 loved him---that I wanted him te be kind, and tell me of his love often. Instead, I replied: "I do, really I do."

There was one born nurse on our flat. We called her the pretty nurse. My visitors assured me that she was quite plain, but any patient on that flat would have been highly indig- nant at the suggestion; I fell in love with her on sight. Her smile was not professional; it was the reflection of a soul serenely happy. She was born to he a nurse, and she WAS nurs- ing. - Her patients were more than "cqases" to her--and they could feel it. They payed her in love a hundred fold for the love she gave. Another Born Nurse. 1 thought of another born nfrse that I had met once. She was a musical director of a musical com- edy show. Her business was to make chorus girls out of telephone. girls in as few weeks as possible. She hated sand was hated. "Inkey's a crank," sald one of the girls, "but she's GREAT when you're sick." I had reason to know the truth of the remark later. And, strangely en- ough, every gir! in the company car- ried her aches to Inkeéy, and she seemed to enjoy doctrine them 'up. Yet as soon as they were well again, she bullied them uynmeréitully. Per- haps she would have been a very amiable person indeed, and probably a4 much loved oné, if she had taken ap nursing instead of music, as'a vocation.

So I returned: "It is, of course, as Mr. Howard says. Our plans are made, however, and my packing nearly finished." "I think we will follow out our original plan, Julia." George said, to my delight "I do not care to stay here longer. 1 haven't quite re- covered from the shock of our acci- dent. I shall pull mysell together more quickly there." I could have shouted aloud in glee, Without my saying a word, George had done 'exactly as I wished. i talked quite gleefully, during tea, and when Mrs. Collings came to go I was more cordial than [ ever had been. That George did "not under- stand my reason, was proven By his remark: "I am glad you are getting over your foolish dislike for Julia She is, as you know, a very old friend of mine." 1 wasn't "getting over it; That is outwitted by him. (To be continued) cp A FIGHTING TRENCH FEVER, New Disease That Has Been Discover. ed In Present War, Trench fever and shell shock are the.two most difficult problems that this war bas presented to medical science, according to a report issued,' by a British American medical com- mission. Cases of trench fever were report- ed from France as early at 1915, and the disease has been continually studied ever since but the organism which causes it has not been found for its successful treatment. The American army doctors believe thai they have definitely established that trench fever is communicated by a body louse, a fact which has been repeatedly suspected by the British investigators also. The fact that the disease is grow- ing more prevalent and is spreading from the trenches to the back areas is also noted in the report. The orig- inal cases were all amopg troops in the trenches, but the disease is now prevalent on various lines of com- munication and at the bases. Even hospital orderlies and nurses are oc- casional victimg, The actual crux of the discussion, seems to be whether trench fever is a disease of man transmitted by the louse, or some disease among lice themselves which is transmissible to men, If the latter, the cure would seem to be the eradication of lice, a gigantic and almost hopeless task in war time. If the former, the dissem- ination of the disease comes down to a control of the human carrier, and probably an easier task. The commlis- lon recommends energetic action in the direction of greater personal cleanliness, which will also contri- bute greatly to the general comfort and health of the troops. Missionary as a Guide Book. Some years ago in Tokio I met Carl Crow. 1 was about to take my first plunge into China, and was then carrying in my grip Crow's gulde- book to the country. "What sugges- tions have you for the trip?" I asked. "Go to the missionaries," replied Crow." Then he modestly added that his guide-book was largely a Sompit, ation of information which he collected from the missio: "They are the only people," ex- plained, "who really know the coun- try." I have had frequent occasion to test this assertion and I feel im- pelled to record that it is profoundly true. The temples and the bazaars have their value in introducing one to the country but they chiefly give EEE me low price of 28¢ a half pound package.
