■ SAINT ELIZABETH ' S 1. W. R. G. H.— January. Jane (who goes to Lizzie ' s next month) — But will they really put us on the wards with the crazy patients ? Mar ' (Just back from Lizzie ' s) — Psychotic, my dear. Don ' t let them ever hear you say crazy out there. And it ' s a mental hospital, NOT an insane asylum. Jane — All right, psychotic. But will they try to hit us or anything? You know, I ' m scared to death to be going to Lizzie ' s. Mary — Don ' t say that when you get there, of all things. If ou ' re afraid of the patients, ou ' ll get psychoanalyzed. And the violent, I mean, disturbed ones are all in Q Building where Army nurses don ' t go. Jane — But somebod told me Q Building is ne. t to the Nurses ' Home! Mar — Well — it ' s not far away, and ta.xis may deposit you at Q. ' s front door, but don ' t let that hurt your feelings. Better not choose a room on that side, though. Those patients don ' t always observe quiet hours. ' I ' ou see, their inhibitions aren ' t so hot. But if you live in the back there ' s that boy witli the cornet; and the two Airedales; and the loud speaker; and the Ford that can ' t get started at five every morning. Take your choice. Jane — Well — just tell me one more thing. Is it true you can order steak and pie and ice cream any time ? Mar) — It is. And P. M. ' s begin at eleven! And the pa — vou ' ll be a rich woman when, that is, if, you leave. And one more word of advice — look out for mental mechanisms, take bath towels, and don ' t wear a red dress. 11. St. Elizabeth ' s — March. Jane (train of thought) — Well, I never knew before that amoebas have minds, and my own is just an iceberg. No, just like an iceberg. And I ' m a Sadist because I loved Operating Room, but then Doctor? and Army and Navy men are all Sadists too, so why worry? But I mustn ' t repress that or it ' ll be a complex. I wonder if I ' m properly sublimated and compensated? Gosh, if I ' m thinking about that 1 must be introverted. Guess I ' d better go to the movies this afternoon and get some of this psychiatry stuff off my mind, or is it my unconscious ? No, that ' s only rationalizing — what 1 really want to do is look at those new dresses on F. St. Heavens, I must be awfully narcissistic. These mental mechanism:! But one thing I must remember to tell the girls back at Walter Reed— don ' t bring out any red, blue, green, yellow, black, or white dresses. N. L. W., ' 29. [59
