So beautiful could be 
As I have seen it here today, 
Beside the wintry sea; 
A new earth, bride of a new heaven, 
Has been revealed to me.

_ In one broad flood of gold, 
But touched with rose the world’s white robes 
In every curve and fold; 
While the blue air did over all 
Its breath in wonder hold.

Mr. and Mrs. William K. Vanderbilt are back in New 
York from the front in France, with many an interesting 
story to tell. At a recent musical which Mrs. Vanderbilt 
gave in her Fifth avenue home she told her friends some 
of her experiences. She said: “I wish all Americans 
could see what our people are doing for the wounded 
French soldiers. Many of the seventy-nine nurses on the 
staff of our hospital have been in the anbulance corps 
since the beginning of the war, and say that they expect 
to stay to the end. While in ‘Paris I saw the wounded 
arrive one morning at La Chapelle at 6 o’clock. This 
used to be the old freight station at the back of the 
Car du Nord, and is now converted by the Red Cross into 
a Sopa yon. station for the wounded. I was there on a 
cold, raw morning, when the rain was falling. I went 
ait two surgeons from the hospital, and we were ail 
siown into a hall with a curtain drawn across it.. There 
were no signs anywhere of platforms or a railroad track. 
‘There were a few government officials about and a few 
ether people who had come to meet relatives. After a 
while we heard a low rumbling, but no whistle. The 
police formed a half circle and somebody drew aside the 
curtain from the end of the hall. The first coach of the 
train was disclosed, and it was inscribed: ‘Given by Dr. 
S. Hardy of Chicago.’ There was an American flag on 
the side of it. Eighteen young Americans attached to the 
amublance corps stepped up and proceeded to unload 200° 
wounded soldiers, They placed them quietly in ambul-

And so the day dies like a dream, 
A prophecy divine;

bulances attached to the American ambulance corps. Four- 
teen Americans, aged between 25 and 35, are needed now 
to make up the number required as drivers and. bearers. 
There:are two men on each car, a bearer and a driver.

Picking her way daintily through the locomotive 
works, a young woman visitor viewed the huge opera- 
tions with awe. Finally she turned to a young man who 
was showing her through, and, pointing, asked, “What 
is that big thing over there?” “That's a locomotive boiler,” 
he replied. She puckered her brows. “And what do they 
boil locomotives for?” “To make the locomotive tender.” 
And the young man from the office never smiled.
