flush and loveliness of healthful
bloom, we could not think that so
soon, the sunny smile was to
vanish, the roses fade, and that
bright head be laid low. We
thought what beautiful woman
Dorothy was growing into. The
giddlness that goes with youth
seemed put by. The few months
OF training in the noble vocation
which she had chosen had added to
her charm a dignity and sweet
womanlIness. When home on her
recent brief vacation, she remarked
to a friend who had known her
since her childhood, that she loved
her work because there was always
the present consciousness OF doing
good. And we are told, her sun
shiny smile, her happy manners and
her devotion to duty endeared her
to patients, nurses and doctors, and
all wept sad tears, when that bright,
young life, ere it had numbered It's
first score of years went SO sudden
ly out, in the willing discharged of
a service from which many older
ones have shrunk. For others, and
those others strangers, the sweet
young life was sacrificed. Only q
few fitting daysof delirious anguish,
and the fever burned it's relentless
course her suffering ended with
the day, and sweetly /.
She passed through glory's morning gate
And walked in paradise.
A fitting shroud was her nurses
garb, typical of,the noble lffe-work,
which had been her choice, the
grant service in which she had
given]self! 4 S.. g5 i
