ROYAL NURSES
Tho remarkable maimer in which Queen Mary has supervised the nursing of the 'King throughout his illness reminds one of the intensive training which almost all the Princesses of the Royal Family have received in medical and surgical nursing. Princess Mary served as a probationer in a groat London hospital at the beginning of the Great War. and insisted on taking her share of all the tasks that fall to the lot of an ordinary nurse. Princess Arthur of Connaught is still sometimes to he seen in the out-patient department of the Middlesex Hospital. She slips into the routine so unostentatiously that many of the patients never realise they have pissed through the capable hands of the King’s niece.
