Dr. Burrit told of one unsung heroine of the world war, a young woman clerk of the ry Department, who one day came to the medical room in a sort of daze. The girl stretched herself upon a cot and refused to taik. Dr. Burrit would go to her, place her arm around her and ask her if she could help. Toward the end of the day the young woman relaxed enough to tell the doctor that she had just received word ©of her husband's death in France. ‘‘n.oukn (he efforts of the medical service of the Treasury Department the bereaved young woman wa8 supplied with a_companion, who stayed with her until time could in some measure lighten her sorrow. - Mrs. Clara M.
