DID you know thnt the American lieu
Crosrt lins appropriated $73,000 to bo
given over to n courno of Intensive train
liiB In iinrBlnK nt Vnsar Colleo? Tlio
courso will bo open to Vnssur graduates
only nr.d will take tlueo months. It will
open In June ns soon na possible nfter col
lege closes and will last through the three
Bummer monthi.
I'ndci the appropriation the college will
pivot Hie use of the buildings and labora-
i toryj It ' 1 also provldo tho teachers and
tho uniforms for the students, so the only
pergonal expciifco Incut red will bo that of
board.
This three months' courso coers tho
amount of work usually done In fclx months
In tho regular nurse's courep; any ono tak
ing It, therefore, should bo able to gradu
ate two monthi, If not three, sooner than
the nurso who takes the regular two years.
An earlier graduation thiough Intensive
training Is allowed In all but two States
.in tho countryi
It certainly looi teem like a splendid
chance for those girls who wish to take up
nursing, and especially nt this tlmo when
'nurses are so gTeatly needed. Tho authori
ties rnther expect that nt least ono thou
sand Vassar giaduates will take advantago
of the opportunity.
IT'S funny, now theres so little doing
socially, t seo how many mora
people than usual dolled themselves up
on Saturday night nnd went up to tho
prlvato view at the Ac.idemy. There were
two brides In tho receiving party, wmcii
mado It rather exciting, only ono did not
havo a husband to show for It, and she
was Charlotte Urayton. John Is at camp,
you know. It must bo nwfully hard for
thoso poor little brides. Sometimes I won
der if It would not bo better for them to
havo waited until tho war Is over; they
must bo so lonely. Mrs. Frank rattcrson
was tho other bride, nt tho prlvato view,
and, of course, Mr. Patterson vns around.
DID you hear nbout Alden Leo and helltn
Il.irle? Here he had expected to have a
week's le.ive and they had planned all kinds
of a wedding trip and ho received orders to
report that very evening nt Annapolis, and
so they did not have any wedding trip but
went direct there. H'u strange how things
happen, Isn't it 7 There's Aldcn's brother.
rhlllcr, who was given a ten days leave
of absence, and goodness knows ho could
! better have gone back that same day than
: tho poor brand-new bridegroom. I'm afraid
! Sherman was good and right when ho
said well, you Know what ho bald.
milE Morning Miuicalc was line, inilecil,

and her gorgeous voice can usually be re-
ted on to bring a full house. Rho sang
ellghtfully, but one feels with her that

ablo than simple little so-.igs. Tho prima

for sho opened tho concert with the "Star
