Nothing Stirs the Emotions as the Return Home After a
Siege of Illness at the Hospital, Says Winifred
Black, Teillng the Story of Mrs. John
111
Bv WINIFRED BLACK
Mrs. John W. is at home again. Her house is full of flowers—the
telephone rings by night and by day and everyboiy wants to know how
! she is. and she is verv well, thank you oh. very well Indeed.
Of course she’s a little shaky when she tries to walk and she cries
very easily—why the other day somebody read her a
little newspaper verse about the sand and the sea
or moonlight and roses, or something like that; and
she Just cried and cried and wouldn’t tell what the
matter was.
I don't think she knew herself, between you and
me. She said "everything sort of rame over me. all
the things that had made me sad in my life, the
time the baby died and the way my fa\*nrite brother
ran away from college and never amounted to any
thing and—oh everything—even the dress that
didn’t hang right when I graduated, and I just had
to cry about it.”
And John W. himself was as good as gold. Thpv
are a littfe afraid of him down at the office—how
surprised they would be if they could have seen him
brushing Mrs. John’s hair and using his own fresh
u/ixjiFRFn RiAnc handkerchief to dry her tears, and saving there.
| there—and sort o£ smiling all the time and looking
I as if he wanfed to cry too.
"John!" said Mrs John, tilting up among her pillows cozy and com
i fortable, “John. I’ll tell you what's the matter with me .It’s this room
| with the sunshine and the flowers, the view and the picture I bought in
Kome ana me one you orougnt me 7
from Dresden and the photograph I
of the boys in their bathing suits.
Somehow it's all so human and sort
of kind and I don't fee! like Just
a number or a letter in the alphabet
anymore. ... j
' Oh. that awful hospital, the
smells of ether and things, and the
nurses, in their starched dresses.1
and the owlish young doctors trying
to look wise and not caring a cent
whether you live or die as long as
they get their diagnosis registered
right.
And the diet kitchen with the
queer things they send you on your
tray, and the man next door moan
ing all the time and calling for his
mother like a little boy. he ought
not to have been in my ward but he
was. and young nurses giggling and
trying to flirt with the doctor and
they dian't have to try so very hard
at that.
“Old nurses frowning and being
bossy and know it all—lazy nursts
going to sleep Just when you needed
them the most—hot water bottles
and electric pads, and if anyone
ever says chart to me again I'll
strangle them with my own hands.
“And here was my own home
and you and my own room and the
children's'pictures and I’m a person
again.”
"Urn.” said John W. and he took 1
* .. ■ “ ■ •
out the hospital bill and read it
over.
“Old Doctor Grimshaw told me
the other day at the club.” said
John, “that all these young doctors
have hospitalitis They will send
you to a hospital for a sprained
wrist or a pain in your toe.
“He says they treat ti e disease
well enough but they forget all
about the patient.”
I wonder if the old doctor wasn't
a good deal like right, when he said
that about hospitalitis?
I've heard—but what do you think
of it anyhow?
