LADY OI“ Tllli L.\l\ll‘ IIOHF. FROM “HRS

I“iOi't‘li(‘e Nightingale": iinntc in Dcrbysiiirc, E11ul:iiiii_ iiie niaiiy- gziblcd Lea Hurst ill Ifiillulvii; , with its lovely gardens looking o\cr iiir Dcriveiit Vallcv --is to he usctl for the bcnciii of the HOiJiU pro- fcssic-n shc adorned. probably as a rcst home for nurses. It could have no more fitting rolc. and the new"; would have gladdcxied thc great Lady of the Lamp, says u wri-tei‘ in the Children's Newspaper.

It was in 1825, when Florence was five. that the Niglitinmlc ia- mily moved into this substantial stone house which lirr frilhci had bought; and it was not lung be- fore the future il(‘i't7il"i(‘ of the Cr;- mea was displaying that love for nursing which was to rcmaX-i with her all her long life.

Nursed Dnlln First it w-is with licr dolls. bandage; and when she received her first living patient, an injured sheep-dog, hci" delight knew no bounds. Then. as she grew up, slit- would visit the sick in the coun- try cottage around Isea Hurst. and sometimes nurse them. r

Lea Hurst then. was the home in which Florence Nightingale grew up; and the home which was close to her heart; all her days. It was the house, too. which saw liar rc- turn one summer's day in 1856. This was one of the most dramatic homecomings of all time. and we give the sto-ry here as it is told in the Derbyshlre volume of the King's England!

Homecoming

We wonder if there has been anything much more dramatic in any village. Florence Nightingale was the most talked-oi woman

Europe. She had astonished the Government and Army authorities by her daring. Shc had torn the

red tape of the Army to shreds and.

had scattered her enemies right and left. She had made memorable

the Crimean War with the o of another chapter of she had soothcd the

pcning humrinit v2 last. hours of

soldiers wounded by war and mur-'

dered by neglect. In all our hist-ory there was no woman like he's, and whcn it was all 0\'f‘l'. and she came home, all England waited to ar- rlaim her. The Navy c-ffcrcd hcr a warship and would have brought her home in state, but she would not have it. and came home pri- vately. When she would go to her Derbytshirc home there was talk of tritimplwai arches. addresses from mayors and corporations. all tiic panc-piv and pagea-ntry of regimental bands. and such crowds in the streets as could gather in those days.

Nu Fanfare

But Florence Nightingale would have it not. She ai-rivctl unknown in London, lay tlierc lost fnr a night, and r-arly next, morning kncst-kcd at the door of the homc of the Bcrmnntisov nuns and spent a few hours with thcni. Th-ri sh" wont to tlic station and i-auziit a train at an unusual hour. She ar- rived unseen at Holloway. walked home alone, unattended and h-‘trd- ly expected whcn sbo opened the door to reveal herself to rm aston- ished household.

A little tinklc of n church bOll on the hills a mile away, n M"! prayer of thanksgiving at the little chapel the next day, was ail the

greeting silt‘ received and ail shc‘

wished! Florence Nightingale was home again!

MAGIC‘!
