SUNSHINE GIRL"
AT BASE HOSPITAL
Good Work Being Done BY Amy
Gordon, Y. w. c. A. Work.
err in France

Paris, Oct 1-(By mail -They
call her the Sunshine Girl at Base
Hospital -, in France. Her real
name is Amy Gordon.
There's a compensating thrill for
the war workers who are within range
of the Boche guns and bombs. Their
occupation is dangerous but satisfying
because of the constant reminder of
those guns that keep every muscle
strained with war effort. Base Hos
pital - is too far distant from the
front, however, for that reminder. 1t
is a receiving hospital for the sol
diers from America who come off their
transports sea-sick, home-sick or di-
sease-sicck. They haven't seen the
front and the sea-sick ones don't want
to. They just want to be allowed to
die in peace instead of having doctors
and nurses fuss over them"
The nurses of the hospital belong to
hospital unit gathered from all ends
of America. They've been in France
nearly a year now, and the front is
further away for them tina it was in
America. They're constantly on the
job without any respite and with diff
ficult" patients and they were be-
ginning to think that life was pretty
unhappy until the Sunshine Girl
came along Miss Gordon wears the
blue gray dress and black hat of the
Y. w. c. A. secretary. She is in
charge of the Nurses's Hut a. Base
-. A graduate of the University of
California, she was hale fellow-well
met with the girls of the Hospital and
soon established herself as a real
friend. Her hut she decided to fur
nish in warm browns and yellows
that reflected sunlight on bright days
and radiated brightness in gloomy
weather A reading table, lounging
chairs, books and magazines and a
photograph were installed and a
kitchenette Afternoon tea soon be-
came part OF the day for the nurses
and hot chocolate at midnight broke
the long hours of night duty.
Base No. - became a decidedly
more cheerful place and the girls who
had come together as strangers had
time to 'get acquainted when off du-
ty in the cheerful little hut. Miss
Gordon started several classes in
French and then one night she pro-
posed a party. The party went so
we'll that another was arranged for a
few days later and now Miss Gordon
is kept busy arranging picnics, birth
day parties for nurses and doctors
miles from home and recreation for
nurses.
The front is as distant as ever but
the nurses of aren't fretting
about that any longer. They're nurs-
ing sea-sick, home-sick and disease
sick soldiers from the transports with
just as much interest and enthusiasm
as they woald give to wounded heroes
just come from the battlefield They've
discovered they can be good soldiers
back of the lines.
