In the new number of the Woman's World, Princess Christian

explains, with admirable lucidity, the aims and aspirations of the British Nurses' Association, which seeks to unite into something like a Mutual Protection Society the 15,000 women who are engaged in nursing work at the present moment in the United Kingdom, and gives an excellent historical account of the profession as well. Another valuable paper in the Woman's World is Mrs. Jetme's—her second— on "The Children of a Great City." It is written with equal sympathy and knowledge. Admirers of "Carmen Sylva," the poet- painter Queen of Roumania, will find a fall account of her in an article—somewhat too effusively appreciative in parts—by Mrs. E. Mawer.
