' r r - I NURSE DIVIDED BETWEEN BOTH ARMS OF SERVICE Edith Lanyon Tells of Life in Naval Hospital and Relates Pathetic Incident of Newfoundland Boy's Death, but Says Much Honor Shown Him. BY EDITH E. LANTOX. THE NAVAL. HOSPITAL, Somewhere in England. Sept. 21. I am still toiling- away on "C" Landing-, very buey and extremely glad to be busy in so good a cause. The demand for nurses is greater every day, tor, alas, many of our bravest and best are -wounded in these times of victory. My heart is torn now between the army and the navy. I cannot tell which I like the better, so 1 love them oth alike. The excitement of the week was a big- military concert which we all of ficially attended. wounded (jailors, wounded soldiers and the nurses of the hospitals. The nurses were safely su-ated well behind their patients, in positions carefully chosen eo that their patients could not see them. Four tC toy choicest patients made up toeir . i - minds that they would like to take me again in the evening this one was a martnee and dutifully asked permis sion from the sinter in charge. Per mission was indignantly refused as against all hospital etiquette. My pa tients were very much blighted, as they had got their full dress uniforms out for the occasion and secured the most prominent seats. One of them had the distinguished service . medal for torpedoing a boat in the Dar danelles. We were very proud of him in "C" wards. He has now gone home on leave and to attend functions given in his honor by his admiring towns people. He was to be presented with a purse of gold first thing. The concert I did go to was very good, anyway, the marine band was the chief attraction and then a company of Pierrots id songs and dances. The navy presented two bouquets to the artists and the army one. so we came out ahead of the soldiers that time. Rivalry la Manifest. The other day the men from here and from tiie Military Hospital were all taken for a drive in big wagonettes. The soldiers happened to be in the first carriage. They were euddenly hailed by the driver of some of our men and stopped and drew up to the side of the road to find out whatt was the matter. "Senlorservlce ahead." called out our driver, and pushed in front, to the Joy of the cneering load of pallors. They certainly are light-hearted people. In their pleasure at seeing "nurse" arrive at the concert the other afternoon, they clapped loudy. rather to my embar rassment. They simply love to write poems of their own manufacture in our autograph books, and draw pictures "out of their own heads." a they put it. to vary the monotony of the plain verses. Some of them are lovely and all extremely complimentary. Thta one is surely worth quoting, ft'ritten by a man of the Adriatic squadron: Mar tile Dor of Ivaf natoh over you A you have wh'-' over me. Bcrtus. thrnny! " ' -"lnn klnuneea. I'm as well an vli can be. Good-bye aijd God bless nurae L . Over this la a little picture of a dove, a scrap cut out and nasted on. Ther la a cjrat feud Just now be tween the ward nurses arid the dining room nurses, because the rule has gone forth that a nurse from each wurd must come down and help to wash up the men's tea things. Until they broke too many the men did Ihis themselves. The ward nurses indignantly insint that they have to neglect their wards to o It; it is an additional outrage that they also have to cut miles of bread and butter for the dining-ioom after their wards are provided for. A certain ward nurse from the West has hinted that ward nurses can easily break a many cups and saucers as any man In the navy if driven to It in self defense! I always admire the nurses who help in the dining-room just be cause it Is their duty to do willingly the work given to them, when t.iy would certainly much rather be nurses In reality as well as In name only. 1 am very glad I was not one of those selected for that sacrifice. Vanity of Invalids Apparent. Every week on a Tuesday our men who are well and fit go back to duty and a new draft of wounded ones come In. It is very sad to part with one's cherished patients, but their sorrow at parting is mingled with delight at hav ing "leave" and a chance to see their own people. They love also to swank around the wards in their smart unt il V EDITH KNIGHT HOLM ES. A VISIT to the Art Museum after all the stress of politics affords a delightful, restful interlude. For the la.t few days the Chase paintings nave attracted great interest. The Itdd loan exhibit, too, .is an excep tlonal treat and tomorrow the private view of the exhibition of work of art 1st of th Pacific Northwest will at tract the members of the PofTIand Art Association and the invited guest?. After tomorrow the exhibit will be open to the public, and will continue in the museum until early in December. As William Merrltt Chase, on of the. greatest American arti.-t of the act, dlfd October 23. special attention has been called to his work. Three nota ble examples of his fine genius are shown at the Museum. Thc-y include a still life portrait of Mrs. K. C SUevlin, and a portrait of Miss dura. Stephens. The two first are loaned ly Mrs. Shev l!ra, and the last was painted by Mr. Chase in Venice in l'.UJ, -and is dedi cated "To my friend and pupil. Miss Clara Stephens." who won the picture a prize lor brilliant work in the. art class in which she was the leading pupil. Memorial to De Placed. A memorial will be placed by the ex hibit as a tribute to the late artist. In the memorial will be a collection! of reproductions of some of his paintings and a portrait and snapshot photos of the artist. The picture of Whistler- is characteristic in pose, and suggests the style of the one who posed. There is something truly inspirational in the manner in which Chase Caught Whis tler's poise and eccentricities in that picture. The portrait of Chase himself is hung In the Ufrfzi gallery at Flor ence, where 'tis a great honor for an artist to be represented. Ladd Collection Saowau Another feature of interest at the Museum is a group of paintings loaned by Mr. ami Mrs. W illium M. Ladd. There is a Georges Michel, an exquisite land scape, a lui'ge and very valuable paint ing. A Corul snows a ruuged hillside, a house, a winding road and a peasant urlving home me cows. Tli coloring is silvery and the painting is a gem. II lg fleecy cloucis over a landscape scene make the Wygant distinctive. A Homer Martin shows some tall trees almost In the center of the picture. The. treatment in delicate and charming. The i-4iriila will leave these paintings in the museum while they are away in California this Winter. The Chase paintings will be taken out on Tues day. All who wish an intellectual and artistic treat, aid a quiet, restful mo ment should avail themselves of the opportunity to see the pictures. NIGHT SCHOOLS TO OPEN flood Hirer Attendance Gaining as Classes Become Older. HOOD RIVER, Or., Nov. 11. (Spe cial.) For the third successive year, the city school district will begin Its night school sessions next Monday night. The first school had a maxi mum attendance of Tu. Last year more than 100 were enrolled and this season it is expected that tiie attendance will reach well toward 150. Among the courses offered are cook ing, sewing, languages and iarm ac counting. Numerous housewives of the city will take advantage of the night school to study domestic science. Th" courses are to residents of the school district, while non-residents pay a nominal tuition. The regular city teachers will be in charge. forms, instead of their hospital clwthes that last morning. . My mirror is proudly decorated with the cap ribbons of "H. M. S. Tiger" and "H. M. S. Southampton," both particu larly cherished possessions presented me by grateful patients from , those ships. , One a "stoker," and one a "boy, first class." 1 nave many friend amongst the stokers now and in case of ship wreck when 1 am crossing the Atlantic again, ahull certainly rush down to the stokehole and expect to be saved by some of them. They are a splendid lot. of men. Today its "fleet inspection." the day the fleet surgeon comes around and tries in vain to round up a speck of dust. Our wards looked lovely when I came off duty it happens to be my time "off" this morning every win-dow'-was cleaned and polished until it shone in a manner very painful to the eyes. In fact when I looked in C 2 early this morning every window was apparently a niche for a vaint each saint being represented by a busy sailor man. each sailor man energetically swobbing away with a cloth at the glass. Every ward made up its mind this morning that that particular ward should be the cleanest. The floors shine quite a?- much as the windows and brass door knobs loom up quite startingly bright and aggressive. Hath taps rival door knobs, and the shiny blackness of the grates is beyond com pare. The navy certainly does know how to clean ship and the men who are too ill to get up and help were get tting free rides in bed from side to side of the. wards as the floor was be ing polished. One led about as calm a life this morning in the hallways as one would in the middle of Oxford street or Picnilllly Circus or shall I ay in the middle of Second street. Portland, at 6 o'clock in the evf-nlng. The poor orderly who was scrubbing the hall said it was like being in the middle of a parade! Service la Enjoyed. I get to like being In the hospital more and more every day, and my legs get less and less tired as I get used to climbing granite stains all day long. If one is senior nurso one can always sens! Junior nurses on errands, anyway, even If one docs have to take the blame for anything that goes wrong in the ward. Since being on night duty I have become a wonderful hand at com mandeering necessities and luxuries for my ward. If there is anything going around loose "C" gets it Yesterday was a wonderful day of loot. 1 secured a new sterilizer, a new fiat pan for my instruments to be kept in on the dressing wagon, a Oox or beef tea capsules, a siphon of soaa water and a lot of white shelf paper. Quite a successful afternoon, as every thing was an extra. The men in from Malta with malaria are beginning to feel the cold so are pampered with hot water bottles and roaring fires in their ward. It looks a cheerful, cosy spot. anl they thor oughly enjoy themselves there. My teeth chattered the other night and I was glad to find that naval regula tions entitled me to another blanket, which was promptly served out to inc. A hot water bottle I am permitted t borrow and fill for myself. In Decem ber we nurses are allowed fires in onr rooms if we attend to them ourselves.
