Diet kitchens, supplying food specially prepared for the sick either free or at a nominal cost, are also found in many of our cities.

Her confident reference to Father Antoine was also enough to allay any immediate uneasiness, and, "for the rest, time will show," thought the doctor; and, without any farther delay, he engaged Hetty as one of the day nurses in his establishment. In after years Dr.

He would watch, sometimes, the strange, noisy parties, and then would retire to bridge at his club with a little sigh of pride. Meanwhile, upstairs in the nursery there were children of all ages, and two nurses did their best to grapple with them.

"That after supper time has come, And silver dews the meadow steep. And all is silent in the home, And even nurses are asleep, That be it late, or be it soon, Upon this lovely night in June They both will step into the moon." "Very well," said the cuckoo.

Wingfield is of great assistance to me, and his aid will be invaluable when the rush comes. Besides, a surgeon, after the first operation or treatment, has little more to do than to watch his patient, if he has nurses that he can rely upon.

She always remembered how good the little thing had been as it lay in her arms, and how distasteful. Those were always to remain its silent characteristics. It was so good. "As good," the nurses used to say, "as if he were a little girl." It hardly ever cried, and when it did it curiously showed its difference from Richard.

"You spoke before I had done," said the wicked fairy. "That's against the law. It gives me another chance." "I beg your pardon," said the other fairies, all together. "She did.

She nurses them, she scolds them, she preaches to them, and they take it from her when they won't take it from us. Perhaps it is the feeling of blood.
