THE PANORAMA OF WAR.

A little word-picture from a recent London exchange:— A London omnibus. Six cheerful Englishwomen in kliaki and wide-awake hats, leaning over the top railings; Red Cross badges on their arms and haversacks slung across their shoulders. They had worked all night in a field hospital and started for a new scene of activity at daybreak. Bread and cheese for dinner and breakfast.;" and a cup of coffee between times. One of theni suddenly darted down the steps of the omnibus (Golders Green line) and made her way to a soldier

who was limping along holding his left arm in a soiled sling, with an expression of pain on his haggard face. , She readjusted his bandage, gave him. a drink of cold ctoffee and a little cognac, and hurried back to the omnibus. The soldier stood "where she left him, gazing after her blankly, with tears rolling down his cheeks. She wayed her, hand at us, sfeiled, and was gone.
