Our Hospital A.B.O. Pictures by Joyce Denny". Verses by Hampden

Gordon and M. S. Tindall. (John Lane. 3s. 6d. net.)—This will amuse people who know something of V.A.D. work. The pictures and rhymes are clever, and besides being full of fun, they show, at any rate to the initiated, how hard and tiring is the work of a hospital nurse. Those who have heard the story of the kind old lady will be specially •amused 'by the picture facing the letter " V " and the verse :—

" V is the Visitor : Cover my head,

And take her away from

The foot of my bed i ' " The colour of the illustrations is cheerful without being garish.
