CUPID IN HOSPITAL WARDS
Nurses at the Front Have Their
Romances Much as Do Their
Sisters in Civil Life.

"rhere came to my notice while WIS.,
tting the hospitals on the French front
an incident that illustrates the spirit
of the troops remarked DR.. H. J.
Bryan, an American physician, who
spent several months at the front.
Too much praise cannot be given the
young women who have gone from the
United States and Canada to do their
bit,' and, you may believe me- the Brit
ish and French soldiers are grateful.
"A Canadian nurse, beautiful girl,
was In charge of one of the wards at
Estaples. 1t was Christmas time, and
the young woman had worked I'M
ceasingly to make the room as attrac-
tive as possible that the poor fellows
lying on their cots might have a bit
of the Christmas spirit. All the time
she was attending to her duties as a
nurse. She had put the last touch on
the Christmas decorations, had seen
that her eonvaleseents We're comfort
able. and in the early morning, weary
from hours of constant vigil, she con-
fided to one of her boys that she was
very tired and would rest.
"An hour later the nurse returned,
and to her surprise she found a one
legged hero hopping around the room
making up the beds He had Just
finished the last one when the nurse
entered Her duty, of course, was to
scold, but the pathetic face of the
wounded soldier, turned upon her with
a look of supreme satisfaction, melted
the words on her lips, and woman
like, she burst into tears. This young
woman afterward married Scotch
officer whom she had nursed. and the
happy pair are living in Dorset, in
England"
