measures will have to be taken if I am to retain the second.  In these dialogues and sketches I do not find quite so much spontaneity as in the first volume; once or twice it is even possible to imagine that the author, after taking pen in hand, was a little perplexed to find a subject to write about.  But that is the beginning and the end of my complaint.  Once again we have a broad-minded humour and the revelation of a most attractive personality.  Above all we see our Grand Fleet as it is; and, if the grumblers would only read and soundly digest what our Chaplain has to say their question would be, “What is our Navy not doing?”

    “The sight was wonderful.  From the grand lodge entrance to the
    lake-side quite 3,000 blue-breeched khaki-coated men and nurses
    lined one side of the long drive.”—­Manchester Evening News.

It must indeed have been a wonderful sight.  Nevertheless we hope that nurses generally will stick to their traditional uniform.
