NURSE '4s: e;

CARSON

"It was funny" admitted Gerald.
A few miles beyond they turned
into a farmyard.
Whats the idea?" asked MAZDA.
"I thought we would pay visit to
your roommate" he answered. Bert
appeared in overalls, then Bert S
father and mother, and Bert's small
brother, the recent sufferer from
measles, and all of them were hurt
and disappointed when the visitors
refused to stay for supper.
1--WE got supper ordered and paid
for at a restaurant on the way back"
said Gerald, gravely.
"Well. of course, If you've got 1t
paid for, you'll have to eat it," an
swered Bert's father Mazda won-
dered how in the world Gerald knew
just the right and telling thing to
say to him. No other argument
would have had half so much weight.
Bert, I'll be glad when you are
back" said Mazda to her roommate.
"I didn't know I would miss you so
much"
Instead of answering, Bert's eyes
filled with tears and she turned away
her head.
What is the matter?" asked Mazda
with alarm.
Bert's father cleared his throat.
I'VE flggered we wouldn't have her
go back to the hospital" he said.
George has saved little money
and says he is ready to go house
keeping. If Bert goes back to the
hospital for another couple OF years
she may lose the chance"
MAZDA knew all about George. He
was the son of the banker in the
neighboring village and considered a
great catch by the family.
"Oh, I'm sure she wouldn't. Just
think, after she has been away nearly
year, when she comes back George
is so impressed he wants to hurry
up the wedding. 1t will only make
him appreciate her more to wait
| until she is through training" Mazda
turned her best smile on the farmer,
| but he only looked at her as If he
thought she was silly:
There's lot of girls after George"
said the mother mildly,
But you want to finish, don't you,
Bert?"
"Of course, I do, and I'd do it, no
matter what they said, if I had any
money" flashed out Bert.
There's George now, driving in the
gate, and you in your overalls," said
her mother. "Ain't you ashamed"
81 don't care" mumbled Bert sui
lenly.
Mazda was not favorably impressed
with George. His eyes were set too
close together, his mouth was too
harsh and his manner too high and
mighty. She wished that Bert were
out of this unpromising engagement.
Folks, I want you to meet George
Halliday" said Bert's father, as if
George were q parsonage. George,
from his height, said condescendingly,
pleased to meet you"
Mazda threw Gerald a look which
said, isn't there anything we can
do?" and Gerald raised his eyebrows
and shrugged ever so slightly.
In another moment Gerald drew
some cigars out of his pocket and
the three men withdrew little dis

horrible George. She really thought

for one thing"

an occasional word.
Not for me-" she heard Gerald
say in a worldly wise tone. "I want
| to have q little fun before settle
down. You sure don't get 1t after
ward"
And a little later she heard him,
"Yes, sir, it's good sense to marry a
girl with profession. Why, a
trained nurse can get job anywhere,
at high wages, too. You know they
get 81 a day. That will come in
handy if you get sick or out of a
Job, won't it?"
Mazda and Bert exchanged under
standing glances. Bert had cheered
up Immediately, and when the men
wandered back to the group she evil
IDENTIFY decided to strike while the
iron was hot, and said, as Mazda and
Gerald made their farewells, "Ill be
seeing you next week"
Now, Bert, we don't know about
that yet" said the mother warn
ingly.
Georges nasal tones broke the
silence. well, now, if you ask me,
I'm in favor of Bert going back to
finish. Seems like this year will just
be wasted if she doesn't finish the
course. Might make a difference of
three or four dollars a day in her
wages if she was to work afterwards. "
Bert gave them a joyous wink and
they drove off.
You are real diplomat. I take
off my hat to you. How in the
world did you know just how to ap-

ORNAMENTAL PLANTS INJURED
BY LAST WINTER

AS the year progresses it is be-
coming increasingly apparent that
considerable damage was done to
most of the ornamental plants by
the excessively cold weather of last
winter, according to Walter r. Bal
lard, horticulturist for the Univer-
sity of Maryland Extension Service.
Most of these plants should he prun-
ed back carefully and the damaged
parts burned, he advises.
Especially is this true of hybrid
tea roses, most of which were killed
to the ground but now are putting
up vigorous shoots and all damaged
material should be burned so as to
destroy cankers and other diseases
which might spread to healthy It's
sues, according to Mr.. Ballard.
Climbing roses, he states, seem to
have been more severely injured
than was at first supposed and for
this reason they should be pruned
heavily two or three times so as to
start healthy, vigorous growth.
1t is pointed out that among the
shrubs, evergreen privet has been in
jured quite severely although in
most cases it is coming up from the
base. In exposed places the ordi-
nary privet hedge has been killed
back extensively and in such cases
all dead and weak growth should be
carefully removed. Others which
have been killed back to the base in
many sections are the Grape myrtle,
the chaste tree (Vitex) and the But
terf1y bush, it is said. In addition,
flower buds on the wisterla, azaleas
and hybrid rhododendrons have
been destroyed and in some cases
twigs have been killed back.
On the contrary, many of the de-
ciduous shrubs came through the
winter better than was expected and,
az result, there was fine show of
forsythia, spirea, weigelia AMI other
common shrubs.
