She is in charge of a clinic in some hospital in Ohio. The scene faded, the clouds disappeared, and for a second I thought that this was all, when lo !-in the distance the spires of a cathedral rose majestically into the sky. Bells rang gayly and a great many people were entering the doors. Inside, coming slowly down the aisle on the arm of her father was a beautiful bride: Josephine Lacourciere! Teresa Nevin was acting as maid of honor, Fabiola LeBlanc and Barney Kugel were among the bridesmaids. Among other guests present were Nora Mills with her twin sons and Alice Hibbert with a charming little auburn haired lassie. Entering a Woman's Club- Lena Pilsworth was entertaining her woman's club with Dorcas Wells as her guest of honor, and speaker of the afternoon. Her subject was Child Welfare and Hygiene. In a nicely appointed office amidst the smell of printer's ink, sat Lyndell Messer, editor of the Nursing journal. Well, here's an article by Gertrude MacGrath! L'Proper Methods of Floor Super' vision. Another by Louise Umbaugh on 'lRural Community Nursing. Heavens! I never knew they could write. Why didn't they write for the Sonah? ujohnnyl Oh, Johnny! came a voice floating upon the air and turning we beheld in a doorway a little lady with auburn hair, Naomi Morris, calling to her son-. Johnny, it's time to go to school and I want you to take this note to your nurse, Miss Livingston. Don't forget! And away went Johnny. How are you today, Blanche, and how's junior? There stood Helen Noble in uniform. She had come to take care of Blanch Ellery and her latest arrival. There's been another flood and we really need you, Mary. Can you come at once? That's fine. I'll send the car for you immediately. Pack enough to last at least a week. Down went the receiver and Dot Lisle turned to give directions to a waiting office boy. 'LOh, Dotty, I'm so sorry I'm late, but the traffic and signals held us up on every corner and I'll swear the driver drove slowly on purpose. Never mind, Mary dear, you're here now and that's all that's necessary. I called Mildred Palmer and Jean MacDonald and they'll soon be here. They are going with you. 'LNow, girls, I want you to understand- and there stood Helen Pritchett giving a lesson in demonstration class to a group of widefeyed gasping probies-. Imagine Pritch!

What are you doing here? Lilas Doyle! What a surprise. I never expected to find anyone I knew here. Where are you going? uCh, I'm on my way to Michigan to attend Jennie May Boyne's wedding. I met Kats Scarth on the train coming in. She is traveling for some insurance company. Checks up on their clinics. She told me that Crlou Bailey had charge of one of their largest. i'Really? Do you know, I haven't heard from Orlou for ages. By the way, do you know that Marguerite Gibson lives here and is in charge of the delivery room at the LyingfIn Hospital, or that Dorothy Moloney is married to a wealthy doctor and is making this her home, also? Where am I going? Oh, my husband has been transferred to New Orleans and I'm on my way to join him there. There's my train being called now. Goodfbye! Give my love to any of the girls you meet. In a magnihcent suite of offices- Is the Doctor in? Why, Peg Euler! What are you doing here? I thought you were married? L'Gertrude Smith! Of all people! Yes, I'm married, but you see the secretary was called out of town suddenly and the nurse is on her vacation so I had to come down to take charge of the office. I thought you were in Colorado. 'LOh, I gave that up. Kathleen Hawken is taking my place. By the way, I hear that Eleanor Portwood is in town and is delivering a lecture at the Woman's Club. Are you going to hear her? Wouldn't miss it. Let's go together. Do you remember Marty Rufli? She just married a Doctor from Bellevue and now they are on their wedding trip. The last I heard was a cablegram from Calcutta. And I just read that Minnie Friesch has taken charge of a contagion hospital. She'll be in the height of her glory. Can't you just see her? She always was washing her hands in a spare moment or else sitting in her bath. Wonder what she'll do now? Oh, yes, Helen Solem is back from the Philippines where she has been working in a Government hospital for the past three years, so she'll join us tonight. In a homey little apartment presiding at the dinner table sat Esther Wilner with Marguerite Steinaway as a guest. L'One or two lumps, Peg? I haven't seen you for years. Why don't you stay in a real man's town for a while? Ever see any of the girls on your jaunts? Say, did you know that Ethel Johnston has been in charge of the V. N. A. here? At present she and George are taking a rather belated honeymoon in the South. Isn't that lovely? Bet you can't imagine where I found Gladys Drohn-in South .yziaf 'fC It - x Y. 38

We're as thirsty as though we had just crossed the desert. Ruth Beemer and Elizabeth Jones laughed and poured the desired tea. Busily engaged in a strenuous game of tennis were Iva Robison and some one who looked very much like Dr. Ballinger-I wonder if it really were he-however, as it was growing dark we really couldnt be positive. Across the bridge table, evidently trying to read through the back of each other's hands, were Pauline Einkorn and Irene Roller. I hope they won. I don't dare say which! The glare of bright sunlight on hot asphalt, a faint tinkle of bells, odors of all sorts- coming out of the distance was an old caravan. From the group of tired, excited travelers who alighted were Audrey Horn and Sybil Patterson, crossing roads on their first journey to the land of the Sphinx. One the wife of a railroad magnate, the other the bride of a foreign ambassador. The haze disappeared, and we looked up to find ourselves back in the room of the magician, breathless, and not a little fatigued from our psuedo travels so far and wide. Even the unbelieving Dot was silent. G. E. H.
