 They had not come back with the rest of the war workers. pr. Braith waite's hospital was one of the last to be discontinued, and he had yield ed to the fiattering invitations of his eminent colleagues both in France and England to spend some months inspecting the foreign hospitals. His devoted wife, without whom the efll- nent surgeon was as helpless child in all relations excepting his strictly professional one. had. of course, ac- conpanied him.
