me. She said for one thing. that II

said that the grippe was germ, she
retorted that | had probably brought
IL TO her on my clothing.
You remember that Betty had drawn
the nurses slip. and how pleased she
had been about IL. She got up early
the morning Of the first day and made
herself a lawn cap and telephoned out

of course, for a white uniform for a
