Our readers will be glad to hear that the appeal
published in the Spectator under the heading " Who Shall Nurse the Nurses ? " resulted in several generous offers of houses to be lent rent free for the Red Cross Convalescent Home. Though all the houses offered were well worth acceptance, that which proved most suitable and convenient was a large and beautiful country place, Tyrrell, Wood, near Leatherhead. This house, which belongs to Major Keswick, sometime M.P. for the Epsom Division of Surrey, is large, modern, well appointed, and surrounded by delightful gardens and grounds. It has besides a wide terrace facing one of the northern slopes of the Headley Downs—a juniper. starred chalk hillside of great charm. A more beautiful and health- giving situation could hardly be found within so short a distance of London. Major Keswick may be congratulated upon having added to his war services the care of those who oared and care for the sick and wounded. He may depend upon it that the V.A.D.'s who will regain health and happiness at Tyrrells will like their Haven of Beet all the better because it is provided by one who • twice answered his country's call to arms. Major Keswick served in the Boer as well as in the Great War. There is always the sense of fellow-servloe between the V.A.D and the fighting man.
