FREE TRAINED NURSES. —— Admirable Work of: a Central Union Mission Branch. The excellent work being performed by the recently crganized free trained nurse system of the Central Union Mission was the subject of .a very interesting report submitted yesterday afternoon at a meet- ing of the board of directors of the mi: sion. Those present were E. D. Bailey George W. Wheeler, A. L. Swartwout, J. C. Pratt, W. R. Pope, Judge W. Havell and O. B, Brown. Many incidents were cited of the charitable work done in the sick rooms of the needy and the poor by the corps of trained nurses belonging to this branch of the mission work. Satisfactory reports were also received upon the work of the free dispensary, the dining room and the wood yard and the daily gospel services. ened Smoking in the Open Cars. To the Editor of The Evening Star: In The Star of February 26 you say the “conductor is right,” as he is about the women moving up and children taking the seats. Of coutse, women are selfish, as they are only human—almost as selfish as men, but I think he should have put on his thinking cap and continued the story; ard should he stop to think a bit he might find on the other hand that the women had scme cause to complain. We have been given to understand that the last three seats of the open cars were given up to the mea for emoking. Now, if any part of the cars were given to women who made a nuisance of themselves in any way—say, dipping snuff, for instance—andsthey did not keep to their part, there would be a great “hue and cry” from the other side. But one would think women had no rights at all in the open cars by the way men who smoke take possession of all the seats for smcking, not only cigars, but decayed pipes as well. Last week there were two men smoking pipes, one on the front seat, the other a “conductor” on the second. While I do not mind a good cigar, I do draw the line at old pipes. Men have plenty of time and places for smoking; why must ihey take the whole car for smoking every day? There are hurdreds of women who never have a ride in the open air except in those cars, and they are very delightful to ride in, except for the smoke. I ride in them almost every day, and there is hardly a day that some one is not smoking on the front seats. Now, I want to ask if there is not room for consideration on the other side: While women are being hauled over the coals the grillers should remember there is another side to grill. A. A.
