Oh well for the mopping man, 7 And the lady who passes the tea, Oh well for the cook upstairs, And the steward who doesn't see. So the ceaseless bombardment goes on, Behind the nurses? chairs, The throwing of dish and plate, And they land just anywhere. Oh well for the serving maid. Who behind the counter works, But the little nurse goes back to With the soup upon her skirts. Break, break, break, On the dining room floor, or me, And it's well that I don't utter The tho'ughts that arise in me. the ward, INEZ LUCILE MILLER

' Thou shalt wear sensible street clothing inthe seasons. Thou shalt not wear long, heavy, trailing skirts. Thou shalt not wear improper corsets or tight belts. Thou shalt not wear high, spike heels. Thou shalt wear well selected shoes on and off duty, sufficiently longer than the foot, straight inner line, good heel, fitting loosely at the toe, and snugly at the heel. ' Thou shalt choose light weight leathers and ones that afford good ventilation, for, yea, verily, I speak unto ye, thou wilt have corns, calluses and like tortures on thy feet if thou heedeth me not. Thou shalt wear the complete school uniform while on duty. Thou shalt be neat and clean at all times. Thou shalt not wear round garters, nay nor shalt thou wear stock- ings with holes or unde-rclothing which is not easily washed. Verily, I speak unto ye, my students of Personal Higiene, and pray ye will heed and follow my advice through all the days of your life. MARY M. BUTLER. l You'd laugh to see me make my bed Now at the foot, now at the head. My brow quite puckered up with care The corners simply must be square. At all the Clinics which we see Miss Jones does it splendidlyg She pulls it here, and holds it there,- And then the corners come out square. And so I pull, and so I hold I tuck it here, andhere I fold, And know a joy beyond compare Whenever corners turn out square. Oh well, as fussy as it seems, You'd be surprised what precious dreams Are hidden in that very pair Of sheets, whose corners MUST be square. And when those dreams come true to me I'll think of all the Clinics, see- Remembering that it was where I learned to make the corners square. ANON. Eiglziy-se-v z
