Mrs. Teresa Eden Richardson, who
died recently at Bath, England, was
worker in the hospitals of four wars.
She held the South African medal, The
Order of the Crown of Japan, the jap
anese Red Cross Order of Merit, two
Greek medals and the 1914 Star.

when the epidemic of enteric fever
tried to the utmost the resources of
the medical staff. Afterward, through
the japanese minister. she was at
tached to the Red Cross society of
Japan during the war with Russia.
Later she nursed at Athens during
the war between Greece and Turkey,
and when the present war broke out,
being then sixty-eight years old. she
went to Brierfort, near Brussels. After
the German armies had occupied that
place she nursed at one of the hos
pitals of Antwerp throughout the bonn
bardment, she and her maid being the
only persons who remained at her ho-
tel. Mrs. Richardson was one of the
last to leave the town, escaping down
the Scheldt in coal barge crowded
with refugees. The privation endured
at this period seriously affected her
! health and she was compelled to aban-
don further attempts to render help
| in Red Cross hospitals in London and
/ Nice.

OLD AND NEW BATTLE NAMES
Hard to 5estow Appropriate Appeta.
tions Upon Conflicts Having
Wide Fronts.

There seems to have been little troll
Bile in the past in naming battles, al
| though even Waterloo is called Quatre
Bras by the French. But on the whole
a name seems to have attached IL
| self to a battle quite naturally, like
| Blenheim, Talavera, Jena, Leipzig, the
Nile and Trafalgar.
| But in the great war, where a bat
| tie extended over weeks of time over
forty-mile front, including many vii
| lagos, and sometimes several objec-
tives in the shape of big towns, the
difficulty of naming battle with a
name that is universally recognized Is
extreme.
The names which have actually set
tied down completely and taken their
places in history are the battle of, the
Marne, the two battles of Ypres, the
battle of Verdun, the battle of the
Blight, the battle of Jutland, the bat
tie of the Somme, and that seems al
most all
The battles of the later phases of
the war have hardly settled down to a
name yet. Probably the battle in
which the Vimy ridge was storned
will be known as Arras; but the bat
tie of Messfnes will probably be q
sticker, just as the Chemin des DANES
will live in French annals for all
times.
Perhaps the great battle which al
the time seemed disastrous to British
arms, commencing on March 81, 1918
win go down to history as the battle
IF Amiens, while the battle of Cam
brai may stand for ell that heroic re
eovery which brought the British t,
their final victory.

"Gertyl" expOstulated Hardin.
"Gerty!' implOred Innes.
"And we are in for a nice friendly
dinnerl"
"Are you quite finished?" Hardin
got up.
As the three passed out of the dining
room, Richard caught their several ex-
pressions: Hardin's stiff, Indifferent !;
Gerty's brilliant but hard, as she
flashed finished, brave little smile in
his direction. The sisters bow was
distinctly naughty.
In the hall, Gertys laugh rippled
out. 1t was the laugh Rickard remem-
bered, the light frivolous cadence
which recalled the flamboyant pattern
of the Holmes parlor carpet, the long,
crowded dining table where Gerty had
reigned. 1t told him that she was in
different to his coming, as she meant
it should. And it turned him back to
dark corner in the honeysuckle-
draped porch where he had spent so
many evenings with her, where once
he had held her hand, where he told
her that he loved her. For he had
loved her, or at least he thought he
had And had run away from her eX-
pectant eyes. A cad, was he, because
he had brought that waiting look into
her eyes, and had run from it?
Should q man ask a woman to give
her life into his keeping until he is
quite sure that he wants it? He was
revamping his worn defense. Should
he live up to a minute of surrender, of
tenderness, if the next instant brings
sanity, and disillusionment? He could
bury now forever self-reproach. He
could laugh at his own vanity. Gerty
Hardin, it was easy to see, had forgot
