♦ CONDUCTED BY MISS ELIZABETH P. UZELMEIER THEY GAVE ALL AT DAWNING When first I wake at early dawn I lie and stretch and groan and yawn, And rub my eyes and wonder when It will be time to sleep again. And then I drag my Ingersol From of£ its nail upon, the wall, And try to kid myself to thinking I have a bit more time for blinking. But, no siree! That measly Bob Disgustingly, is on the job. And so I yawn and stretch once more And finally bounce out on the floor. And yet contrarywise at night When it is time to snuff the light. No matter how I worked that day I want to stay awake and play. —A Prob. MISS LILLIAN WARD. MISS MARY K. CAIRNES.

HERE TO WORK. One of the Blue Birds was washing the top shelf ol the linen closet while Captain X—stood by and disclosed the discomforts of a nurse’s life. “Now aren’t you wishing you were home right now?” he asked. “N'o I’m not” the nurse replied, “I wish I could find someone who’d find me a chair, bhe got the chair and another man found out'that the student nurses are here to do anything and everything they can. The infirmary has had several visi tors from the student nurses, this week. Among them were: Misses G. Pierce, Carrington, Moore, Van Cam- pen, Offertt, Jackson, Atwood. All of them are out again and can give the sick “flues” dots on K. P. work. It is rumored that one ol the Student nurses is going to change her home address in the near future. RUMORS. The student nurses are excited over General Rumor No. 92 which concerns a play. Who is going to give it, and who may be the heroine are the chief questions being asked. There seems to be a great deal of discussion as to the age ol the Probs. Let it go on record that the average age is twenty-one years and five weeks. (Age limit army nurses 21-35) General Rumor No. 91 had it that no nurse could go abroad if she were less than twenty-five. Then age of the student nurses since then is variable. Probationer No. 1—“When you see Mary, tell her I wish I had her back.” Probationer No. 2—“WhaCs the matter with your own back?”
