Come Oui Of Retirement,
Author Asks All Ex-Nurses
By Mary Roberts Rinehart
It seems to me that any woman
who has ever done hospital woik
would feel an obligation today to
go back to it if possible. I, my
splf only deplore the fact tna.. I
am’not'young enough to be ac
ceptable. A certain number of
women, of course, take nurse s
training merely
as a ciaut! o± a
future profession.
There are. how
I ever, many wo
I men throughout
■ the country who
love the work,
who found in it
an outlet either
► for their mater
fjnal instinct or
their executive
— duini.y, tuiu
Miss Rinehart now be of the
greatest possible
»alue in a deplorable situation.
One has only to visit the hos
pitals to realize how precarious
the nursing situation is. This very
day my young grandson had to
be* taken home after an operation
#!mply because there were no
nurses to look after him. His par
ents. both busy through the day,
were obliged to stay with him at
night, and in the end he had to
be taken home so he could be
properly cared for.
I have a great many women ap
plying to me for some method in
which to use their ability. Some
of them are graduate nurses who
have considered themselves, be
yond the nursing age. This is no
longer true, and I advise them to
get back into uniform as. rapidly
es possible. This is an immedi
ate emergency. It has none of the
glamor of the young women in
foreign fields who are doing their
washing in their helmets, or flying
the wounded home. But it has a
glamor all its own. as has all hos
pictal work—the peculiar warmth
which comes from easing pain,
and of feeling more than useful—
of feeling essential.

Servicemen's Wives Deserve
A Lillie More Consideration
By RUTH MILLETT
“Nothing's too good for the serv
iceman" — but anything is good
enough for his wife. At least that
is the way many wives of men
overseas feel—and with good rea
son.
For instance, in a small midwes
tern railroad station the other day
a woman waited her turn in a long
line at the ticket window. When
her turn finally came to be served
by the man making reservations,
he told her, “You’ll have to get
in another line, I'm going to close
this window."
The lieutenant, obviously em
barrassed at taking a woman’s
place, made his reservations and
then stepped over to the woman
who was standing patiently at the
end of another line and said, “I’m
afraid I took your place."
She answered, “That's all right"
—which was the correct answer
to the serviceman who was not at
fault. But then she made a mis
take. She didn't walk up to the
man at the window and say,
“Look here, mister, the only rea
son I am standing in line making
reservations on a train for myself
and my children is because my
husband isnt’ here to do it for me.
He’s over-seas."
CHIVALRY OUTDATED
Most persons agree that service
men in this country deserve spe
cial consideration and even spe
cial privileges—when there is a
reason for it. But is it right tc
coddle them at the expense o:
war wives who are taking care o:
details of living which their mer
would be doing for them if thej
weren’t over-seas?
And what is the effect going t<
be on the manners of a country—
not eveq to mention the out-dated
world chivalry—when it is consid
ered all right to shove a woman
out of a line to give her place to
a man for no other reason than
that he is wearing a uniform?
Servicemen themselves—as evi
denced by the lieutenant’s embar
rassment—prjobably don’t want
special service at that price, if for
no other reason than that most
of them have wives somewhere
fending for themselves and being
pushed around.

Give Them Something
That They Can Wear
This is the year when any moth
er will bless you for a practical
gift of clothing for her moppets.
It will take some careful shopping
foi children’s clothes this year are
well up on the shortage list. Be
sure you know the correct sizes,
for these things cannot be so easily
exchanged as in normal years. But
if you want a gift that will bring
heartfelt thanks and real apprecia
tion of your thoughtfulness—GIVE
THEM SOMETHING THEY CAN
WEAR!
