Um' Ifzzferney Have you heard of our internes so handsome and bold XN'ith vices unsung and virtues extolled? Three of them married, and others seek mates To keep the world running in household debates Q So list to my story, and don't take me wrongg l'll try not to bore you nor keep you too long. The fll'St who arrived is now an M. D. Dr. Close is proclaimed as a whiz in O.B. I-le is usually smiling unless called at night, Then he'll scare you to death when he answers his light Dr. Davis arrived in the time of romance NN hen young men and maidens delight most in danceg Of brown eyes and tresses he is very much fond, But he is not so disdainful of titian or blonde. Dr. VVest is quite handsome, but oh cruel fate He is already equipped with a most charming mateg l--le is always good natured, and never does scold Though needlessly summoned for eases untold. There is a Norseman most gallant who is slender and tall Guldager, the blonde, for whom maidens oft fallg He is pleasant, eflieient, and knows what to do In cases routine and emergencies, too. Dr. Groves, once our interne, a practice does own. I-le's earning good money-but lives all alone. Now girls, he's good looking, blue eyes and light hairg l--le prefers brunette maidens to those who are fair. The last of our number appears somewhat gruffg Has a passion for-sodas? and that kind of stutfg Dr. Turner's quite ready when he's had a good night To answer most promptly his long blazing light. My story is fmished-T've come to the endg I hope that this nonsense will no one o'FFendg Don't take me too seriously-for many a time The statements were made just to till out a rhyme. N. S'roNmz.

6' tg The scene merges into a cool oliice, I see a uniformed figure at the desk and T.S,O. emblazoned over the door. lt is none other than Nell Stoner, Superin- tendent of Nurses in Milpitas City and County Hospital. It is night and the bright lights of the city are shining. The Salvation Army holding a meeting and one of their little band is endeavoring to sell doughnuts to the ruftians that come and go. I was most surprised to recognize Lillian Holmes. A circus tentg the saw-dust ringg peanut vendersg the roar of hungry lions and Lorraine and Florence Schneider performing daring stunts on a white charger. ljillboards and spectators speak of them as the Sensational Schneider Sisters. The interior of the notorious llloulin Rouge, Paris and lilise Stangland, adorned in a string of pearls and a smile. doing the Black Bottom. She the is the only dancer living who still remembers it. The Riviera and Monte Carlo. Alicia Robbel, the new social hostess, is strolling among her guests. lt is rumored she is looked upon with favor by the town crier. T anforan racetrackg a crowd Warranting record-breaking box receipts. The at- traction is llliriam Cummings, bicycle racing champion. Aside from seeing a fast race, they say it is worth the price of admission to watch her handle her bicycle. The wilds of central Africag luxuriant growthsg bright plumed birds and Flor- ence Sexton, still several jumps ahead of Billy Sunday as an Evangelist and re- former, at work among the unenlightened Pigmy tribes, endeavoring to prove to them that Moonshine is not a substitute for Nennens Baby Food and that smoking among their infants will lead to a race of grotesque giants. , The pictures becomes civilixed once more and I make out the salon of Violet Cooke, beauty specialist de Luxe. The feminine world is at her feet. Vtlith a word the apprentices take the most wrinkled dame of sixty and transform her into a charming girl sixteen, guaranteed permanent. lt only takes several thousands of dollars to make it easy for Miss Cooke to say that word. The dim aisles of a cathedralg tapers burningg a choir chantingg a ceremony in progress and I see Loretta Foltz, long spoken of as Gertie the Golddigger, who having found nothing in her favorite pastime but fur coats and diamonds, taking the veil and the name of Sister Celeste. The head lines of a newspaper Hash in the crystal, Constance NVhite, Globe- trotter and VVild Game l-lunter Goes liankruptf' The print fades and l see 6'Ye Blue lioar Tavern in the Swiss Alps. Only the Count Compata de lllanzanas, knows who the blushing and buxom harmaid is who has lately come there. It was iinished and without ever another word, the witch took the generous sum offered by my escort and returned to sorting her herbs. Wfe returned to our car after scattering some coins among the Gypsy children and needless to say. our conversation for many a day. turned to the marvels we had seen in the magic crystal. l140l

lr e Glam' W2 ll ACH member of the graduating class of June. 1927, of St. Luke's Train- ing School for Nurses, has written and signed a will. It was quite un- expected, but as each and every member of it is either progressing towards imbecility in some way or other, or else is so very eccentric, that a diagnos- tician would term them mentally sick and disabled, one cannot express a great amount of surprise to learn what each one bequeathed. It is as follows: Miss Hlxys, has several pairs of old shoes, which Dame Need has taught her she should not throw away. She places a pair at the feet of those girls in tdire necessity who would be truly appreciative. M ISS Scotfnzto, our one real dog lover, leaves Goo-goo, her thoroughbred collie and his newly acquired family of puppies, to none other than Miss hludy Darnell. Her cosmetics to Miss Common. Miss CURTIS, can skate home no longer, so her ball bearing roller skates she will give willingly to Miss liellar, who will now be able to skate home and back before 10:30 every night. Miss LAWRENCE, leaves all her old uniforms to Miss Schee. She feels they would fit her the snuggest. Miss lX'lCCrREGOR1, hands her well used teapot to another Britisher, Mrs. Mills. Miss DINWIDDJE, feels that her beau, jack, will kinda fret about not being able to park in St. Luke's court after graduation, so she begs of Miss Martin to take pity and mother him a while till he gets used to the idea of having to stop away. Her crystal beads she will give in return for this charitable act. Miss SCHOENDUBY, finds she will have to cease her romantic moonlight rides and turn to sterner stuhf, so her riding breeches and indeed her hack f'Noble' the white charger in the last stablej, to be given to Miss Dempsey. Miss IJYMAN, bequeaths her crushed heart, poi and pineapple to Miss Lindsay. Miss lfIlNl2l.S, leaves her famous figure-forming device and her bicycle to Miss Ing. Mies. Awriis, is overjoyed to hand her black satin evening gown and her rhine- stone tiara to Miss Plym. And as happiness is one thing you don't have to go around looking for, she is delighted to leave her goodly store of it to Miss Pfister. Miss fXNDEl.L, takes pleasure in handing her Girligigs library of Fairy tales to Miss Scott. She feels sure that she is bequeathing her beloved books to the only student who can delve just as deeply into Fairyland as herself. Miss EIVILAY, has willed her set of combs to Miss Mclienzie. l-ler .4'Xge of Innocence to Miss Agnes jones. Miss COLBERT, bequeathed a few of her beans together with her wreath of smiles to Miss Arkinstall.
