WHEN OFF DUTY
READY FOR A CANTER.
Horse back riding is becoming a
facinating past time for the base hos
pital nurses. More and more of those
who spend their working hours in the
wards are taking to the saddle when
their tour is ended.
Miss Jones, a nurse, is shown in
the above picture seated on a large
black charger.
THE MAJOR’S LITTLE SHADOW.
Word has been received of the safe
arrival of Nurses Driscoll, Anderson,
Haley, Manheim and Warner in
France. They were at the base hos
pital for several weeks before being
called for oversea duty. They left
Camp Greene three weeks ago.
Why the tears—tall, good-looking
blonde nurse with the shell rim glass
es, surely the Chief did not scold you
for the broken board walk in from
of the nurses’ home? Why didn’t you
explain that you had hardly recovered
from your horse back ride and were
still unsteady in the knees
We are all delighted to find that
Miss Warwick’s patriotism brings her
back from Greenville although .-1 e
still has that far away look.
A certain Major had a Shadow,
As shadowy as could be.
And everywhere the Major went
The shadow you would see.
It followed him to clinic one day
A natural thing to do
But we always wondered what hap
pened
For next time—It stayed away.
IT WAS OBVIOUS.
X—Did you know that Lieutenant
had been made captain?
Y—Why, no—You must be mistaken.
I did not see two bars on his collar.
X—You looked in the wrong place.
He was wearing them on his face.
The operating room nurses arc In
terested in knowing why it is that
our assistant superintendeut who at
present is taking a course in
anaesthesia, is the only one who has
the privilege of camouflaging her in
efficiency with a sheet.
CAUGHT.
On South Tryon street—Afternoon—
Pattie and Drizie talking to two gold-
barred officers. What does it mean?
The world is all right once more.
Drizie was seen talking to a -T. Ser
geant.
How many of the nurses have no
ticed the splendid collection of books
in the Community Room of the new
horfie? They are really worthy of your
inspection.
Last Thursday the Casual Camp en
tertained many of the nurses at an
out-door dancing party. All who went
had a most enjoyable evening.
Miss Pigg left the last of the week
on her vacation.
Somebody has knowledge of the ex
istence of the Y. W. C. A. summer
camp “somewhere in N C.” but does
not know its location. Will some of
the nurses kindly volunteer the infor
mation?
Wish some of the J iotor Mechanics
would come over and finish the con
struction of our band-stand.
