THE NURSES WHO “GO OFF"
Somebody with a turn for statistics assures me, (writes “ A.M.8.” in Urn ' Liverpool Host’) that more nurs|; have married, or are engaged to many, since the beginning of the war than have married, or become engaged, since, the days of tb e Boer War. You may say that is not remarkable, seeing that all the pretty girls in society have turned their attention to nursing; but it is not they who are “ going off.’’ Tile badly-wounded soldier. lie lie ordinary Briton, good-looking officer, or Australian of breezy ways and large means, does not marry tho amateur nurse who smooths his pillows at the wrong moment. The man who has been battered about in the. trenches soon begins to think that he cares not a cuss now fair she is provided she lias get the gift of making him comfortable. This is whore the professional nurse who knows her business awA'thrcs it scares.
