CHILDREN'S NURSE

Interesting Task In The Dominion Monarch

Enthusiasm for her job. and an active interest in the places to which it: takes her, were displayed by the children’s nurse in the Dominion .Monarch, when she conducted visitors round the cheery nursery aboard the liner at AVellington on Saturday. Taking charge of some 20 or 30 children is no mean responsibility, but this nurse finds her position fttll of interest and amusement. During her years at. sen she has travelled to many countries, but in her opinion, India is the most fascinating country in the world. The Suez Canal, dismissed by many people as the (odious part of a voyage, she finds picturesque. Running parallel with one side of the long, regular, waterway, is a macadam road, ami on the other is the desert, stretching away to the horizon. Along it through the burning heal, go I lie caravans, ami between the ancient and modern sides of the canal lly gorgeous large red butterflies ami birds striped in black, white and red.

Port .Said and Cairo were motley towns of vivid colours, observed the nurse. She was in Cairo at the time of the Arab riots, and had to stay indoor® most of the time, as those who ventured out. went in peril of their lives.
