Why Florence Nightingale did not ,marry is revealed in a fascinating biography by Sir Edward (book, just published. V This self-revelation is shown in let- ters to her friends and entries in her diary. The name ofthe man who made such un impression on her heart that she halbrepented her choice ot a single life is not given, Ha is spoken ot as "the stranger." For some years be pressed his suit. Friends thought marriage with h\im promised every happiness, and by many it “might have been' called brilliant." Florence herself, says her biographer, was strongly drawn to her admirer. She had not come to this state of mind in hasty inclination. She was on her guard against any such temptation, Many years before in a letter to her “brother Jonathan" as she called Miss Hilary Bonham Carter," She had written: "It strikes me that in all the most unworldly poetry (both prose and verse) lu passion qu'on appelle incli~ nation is treated in a very extraordi- nary way. When one finds a com- parative stranger becoming all of a sudden more essential to one than ont-.'s fumily (via llattery, in general, of one sort or smother), one is con- exumine they would not find (what- ever it may ripen to afterwards) this is the stranger’s admiration (and I suppose everybody has been suscept- ible at one time of their lives) hav- ing more etlect upon one than one’s family." ' “In this case, however," continues the biographer, “the stranger's ad- miration had stood the test. She fclt drawn to him, not by vanity or self-love, but because sh\e admired his talents and beacuse the more she saw of him the greater pleasure she did find in his society. 'She leaned more and more upon his sympathy. Yet, when the proposal first came she re- fused it; and when it was renewed she persisted.” Florence Nightingale reasoned deeply over her case. It is certain she felt atleast as much affection as suffices to make half the marriages in’ the world. She turned away from u path to, which she was strongly drawn in order to pursue her Ideal. In one of the many pages of autobio- graphical notcs which~she preserved in relation to this episode in her life she thus explained her refusal to marry: r “I could not be sat-lsfled to spend al life with him combining our different, powers in some great object. I could not satisfy this nature hy spending u life with lnim in making society and arranging domestic things......'I‘o be, and rich life would seem to me like suicide.” - 31 859310," SRYS her biographer: "0 maf`¥`Ying ‘a g0ud man w . 5_9 clearly marked out some to be single women as He has others to be Wives. and has organized them ae- CUPUIDBIY for their vocation. for not marrying, and that for these it is much better to educate the chil- dren wh ` cafft be got our of ir, than to in-ing ters an old woman, yet I think the experience of ages has proved her right in this.” 'lim is I iislsily 'ihtiili Step it Do you realize the danger in a neglected cough P Then why, on't_zou get rid ofit? _ Yes, you can sha eit off, even though it has stuck to you for a long time, if you go about it right.

"In the world in which she lived, daughters," she wrote, “can only have a. choice among chose people whom their parents like, and who like their parents well enough to come to their house," By ihruwing open new spheres of usefulness to women, Miss Nightingale hoped at one and the same time '.0 irnprove the lot of those who were marked out to be wives, and to tlnd satisfaction for those marked out for the single life.

National ‘ i OF THE WARBPITE When the band struck up “Rule Britannia" after yesterday's launch of the Warspite, Brltaiu's second all oil fuel super-drenduought, Mr. Wins- ton Churchill, who was present, gave vent to his feelings by singing the words of the song. The launching ceremony was per- formed' by Mrs. Austen Chamberlain at the First Lord’s invitation. The Warspite is 650 feet long and had a launching weight of 12,000 tons, a record for the royal yards. She will cost $14,000,000, and was laid down on October 31, 1912. The new vessel is an improvement on the Queen Elizabeth, and is to he driven entirely by oil engines. She has receptacles for the storage of 4,000 tons `of liquid fuel, sufficient to enable her to go around the world. The armament of the Wal‘SPiil8 Will consist of eight fifteen inch guns and several anti-uirship guns. The Globe says it has semi-official authority for stating that the “all big gun” era will come to an end with the completion of the gl‘01ll> Uf vessels to which the Warspite he- longs. ' It says the vessels of the Royal Sovereign type about to be laid down will be of a new design smaller than that of the battle ships now under, construction and adds that the Brit- ish Admiralty's decision in this con- nection was due to the lessons learn- cd during the recent naval manoeu- vres on the east coast of Great Brit- nm, when the gnpmarines demonstrat-| their ability to take such oflensxve . action as to render battleships :il-` most impotent. i STUDENTS REFUSE riAM1L'1‘0N.
