number Of persons called to see her, but
she positively refused to be interviewed by
any one. She has discarded her steel

and was met by Mrs. Brown the matron.
Can you accommodate me here -
asked Mrs. Dudley.
Have you references?" asked Mrs,
Brown

In telling the story of her acquaintance
with Mrs Dudley, Mrs. Brown tonight
said, She impressed me so very favor
ably that told her she might remain in
the house if she would room with two
other young ladies. This she consented to
do. Her only luggage was a valise, which
she never anpacRed because, as she one day
remarked, she might be called suddenly to
some patient
" Did she refer at any time while there to
her past domestic relations p was asked.
- She told me she had been married and
had two children, but that her husband and
children had died abroad. Her father she
once remarked had been engaged in the
British cavalry service. She had acted as
a trained nurse in hospitals in London and
Paris, and she said she had diplomas from
institutions Of that kind; but | never eX-
amined them, though she showed them to
some young ladies il the house. She was
a thoroughly accomplished woman, and
her manners and speech betokened Il
thoroughbred English woman of keen mind
and bright perceptions. She was an IN
tensely patriotic little lady, sarcastic and
cutting at times when speaking OF
those who seem to be making var on her
people. She was extremely nearsighted.
In telling me Of her work abroad, one day,
She said 10 me that she most enjoyed hos
pital work abroad than the nursing she had
been doing here. She said she had re-
ceived $25 per week abroad, which know
is often paid to trained nurses.

YOUNG LADY's STORY.
In the parlor of Mrs Leggett's home a
beyy of young ladies talked of Mrs. Dud-

Of the explosions in London, said one of
