LIFE BEGINS AGAIN
MAIMED GIRL'S NEW HANDS LONDON. Dec. 1 A charming English girl, Nellie Lambert, received her new hands the other day. She went to Queen Mary's Hospital, Putney, and there was fitted with a pair of artificial "dress" hands, made to look like her own. But these hands are more ornamental than useful. So they also gave her a pair with tvhicli she can dress, wash, eat, write, ami carry parcels. So life opens up again for Nellie. Miss Lambert lost both her hands when a bomb destroyed lier home at Dartford, Kent, and killed her sister. For weeks she lay in hospital, helpless. But her courage was such that throughout that time she dictated cheerful letters to be sent to her mother. Now she has her reward. Not medals, hut new hands. Soon, she says, she will be able to go back to work and life will be happy again.
