If our grandmothers could come back for a brief spell, as happened In "The Blue Bird," wouldn't there be a rubbing of eyes at the, manner of the modern girl's conduct of her life. Miss To-day thinks nothing of rushing half over the earth and back again without bothering with that Victorian ogre, the chaperone. The latest to be permitted to pack her frocks and furbelows is Miss Joan Woodd. She's really attached to the military as a masseuse, having done splendid work abroad. Father happens at present to be in Chill. So Miss Joan is being permitted to be demobilised pro tern to pay him a dutiful visit. The journeying Is going to take time and money, because routes these times are circuitous. The sick boys at George's Heights are going to miss her, as she has been "a Jolly fine girl all right." and her clever hands have brought relief to many a weary nerve-wracked sufferer.
