EMPEROR’S DAUGHTER AS LONDON NURSE
ALL THE KIDDIES LOVE HER (By Air Mail—From A Special Correspondent) LONDON, 12th September. Princess Tsahai, the 17-year-old slim, shy daughter of the exiled Haile Selassie, is now the favourite of the sick children at the Children’s Hospital, Great Ormond street, London.. As she washes them, feeds them, makes their beds, they ply her with questions, and requests for stories. “Tell us a story ’bout Absinia, Princess.” “Why don’t you wear a crown?” “I’d love to fight ’Muslim for you if I was big.” Although she is styled “Princess” by her young patients, she is plain Nurse Tsahai to her colleagues. She has rio special privileges. Her day in the wards begins at, 7 a.m. . She has a working week of 56 hours with a half day off each week: “Nurse Tsahai. is settling down nicely, and, although she has been here only three weeks, she has made many friends among the nursing staff generally.”
