a nurse must know how to go ahead and
do what needs to be done without ques-

had new appreciation of this truth when
she came to need nurse for herself after
wearing herself ont in nursing wounded
soldiers. She says:
When lay i'll friend told me of an ex-
cellent woman who had come from afar
and rendered her services to the govern
ment She had exerted much influence and
spent much effort to get into hospital as

Hearing of my illness her desire to be

kitchen to make 1t, and one hour after
came up with cup of tea, only this and
nothing more, save a saucer. To taste
the tea l must have spoon, and to get
one she must go along hall, down long
flight of stairs, through another hall and
the kitchen, to the pantry
When she had made the trip the tea was
so much too strong that a spoonful would
have made a cup. She went down again
for hot water, and after she had gone to
the kitchen remembered that she had
thrown the water away, thinking it would
not be wantedl
The fire had gone out, and the woman
came up to inquire if she should make a
new one, and if so, where she should find
Hndlings.
She had spent almost two hours in run
ming to and fro, was all in a perspiration
and fiuster, had done me great deal of
harm and no one any good, had wasted all
the kindlings for the evening fire, had used
tea enough to serve large family for
meal and had fairly illustrated large part
of the hospital service rendered by women
oppressed with the nursing mission.
