, surroundings last September when we
arrived there from anything we had
imagined"
The streets we frequented in Paris
during our twenty-four hours there,
of course were unknown to u.s." Miss
steele continued, land we had no time
to visit any of the places of interest.
We had dinner at the Young Woman's
Christian association and then we were
packed into a big army truck and car
ried across the city to the depot from
which we were to depart"
When we arrived in Brest" Miss
Steele said, "our hospital was
not completed and so we were sent in
sections to various hospitals-some to
Navy Base Hospital No. 1, some to
Evacuation Hospital No. S, and others
to Pentenazen which by the way was
considered the worst place in France.
Besides the barracks there, fifty thou
sand men were taken care of en- route
to their various destinations and it
was regarded as a perfect hotbeds of
danger. The Literary Digest of re-
cent date carried most interesting
and exhaustive article on the subject of
Pontenazen and its environments"
Finally, upon the completion-even
then the hospital was still incomplete,
we took charge Of Evacuation Hospital
No. So, five miles from Brest," Miss
Steele continued, land there we work ed
for eight months The hospital shelter
ed four thousand men and they were
brought to us in all sorts of conditions,
from the front hospitals. Wounded
men in fearful condition. men suffering
and i'll and all these we cared for until
they were able to be sent back to the
states. My work was mainly in the
medical wards, and L had a vast op-
portunfty to see how splendid and
brave the Americans were. never
saw such courage and such spirit They
never complained; it seemed to be all
part of the game; the wounds; the
suffering and the illness"
During last March, l had a furlough
of two weeks Miss Steele said and
went back to my old home in Eng
land-Sh effield. There 1 found many
changes although Sheffield instead of
being deprived of work during the war,
was tremendously accelerated in it's
manufacturing industries, making most
OF the steel for the English troops.
what l particularly noted was wars
ravage upon the people themselves.

There are women everywhere who
long for children in their homes yet are
denied this happiness on account Of
some functional disorder which in most

said. Before we arrived in New York
mum bers of airplanes flew out to meet

OT1HIs is a story about one of the
sweetest women 1 have ever
known; just a page out of her
busy life, which covers a period of
twenty-five months of army service,
during which time with her gentle ad-
ministrations, her capable hands, and
her sympathetic heart, she did her
| bit" for her country, rather | should
say for her adopted country-for Miss
Bertha Steele the subject of my story,
is an Englishwoman by birth, breeding,
and education, having come to America
some twelve years ago casting her lot
in Birmingham.
Following her inclinations, Miss
Steele chose the profession of nursing
as a life work. She is a graduate of
st. Vincents and all the hundreds of
people who know her, without one ex-
ception. love her, for her many admir-
able qualities of heart and mind.
To my way of thinking, there is no
more beautiful line of Aork for any
woman to follow than that of the
trained nurse; when one thinks of the
service, (Which after all is life's high
est and best ELECTROMAGNETIC one
little tiny mite of a woman can render
in this capacity-the suffering that can
be alleviated-the sympathy, so much

these privileges-that one is gifted
with the ability to perform them.
Miss Steele has every qualifica ton
| that is desirable in her profession; she
, has brains and Drawn, heart and mind
and that passing sweet gift of SYM
pathetic devotion to her work without
which none can succeed.
What more natural than that this
sweet woman when the time came for

men in hundreds and thousands and
tens of thousands gave their lives to
the service of their country-should
| offer her service for them?
Back in 1917 Miss Steele made ap-
plication for army service and in the
late summer of that year, having quail
fled for work, she went to Camp Shelby,
Hattiesburg, where she remained for
nearly year, awaiting orders for over
seas duty.
She was very happy when in August,
1918, she received word that she would
go "over there" with North Carolina

We went to New York" Miss Steele
