CATHOLIC GIRL WRITES
FROM THE ERONT

The following interesting letter
was received by II. E. Halloway last
Saturday from his counstn. Mary Mr
Cormark, sister of the famous sinper.
Miss Comtek is located near the
front and describes with vividness the
environment that she is now in:
"My Dear Cousin:
"Since I last wrote you 1 believe it i
was n week yesterday, five of us who!
were nt base No. 18, have been trans
ferred back to our own base. This,
week has been broken up with travel-j

too busy to write.
"All the men proceeded us here so j
everything is In readiness except our
parmanent quarters. llower, our
present home is very comfortable, a
fact most appreciated by us. who
have been living in barracks the past
three weeks, with thirty other nurses.
My roommate and I have a delightful
room, with two French windows and

bouquet of lilacs, etc. This morning

wen- driven in one of the cars and we
certainly were a curiosity. The priest

Yesterday was Faster and it was an
awful day rained continually, as it
has been doing that for the past thfl e
lays. Saturday evening I went with
some of the other girls to confession
to the church in the village, and such
a night it whs so dark we couldn't
see where we were stepping and mud!
Well, I have read about mud in
France, but this was lierce. I really
have never seen a more inspiring
sight than the long lines of soldier
!iys going to confession. Am sure
their mothers would be happy and
without worry if they could know
! how faithful these men are to their
religious duties. It is wonderful. We
have a Catholic priest Connected With
'the Red Cross and he is a line man
! You can imagine what it means to
j have a priest when end is near. And
he is always at the bedside when the
J time come. And sad to say It is nec
essary occasionally, for some of the
poor fellows have to give in to this
awful gas.

For many, many years', I suppose cen

more buildings added and the whole

I cannot imagine a more beautiful
setting. The grounds are beautiful,
the men are still working on them
particularly in the truck gardens.
One of the buildings encloses a court
beautifully laid out with walks and
hedges and a circular fountain basin,
also trees of several varieties, fig,
pears, etc. Must say a few words
about our own quarters. Our dining
room or 'mess hall,' as it called in
the army, is where the monks used to
eat. The walls are high, and white j
add vaulted roof looks as though it
might reach the sky. There are all
sorts of wonderful wild flowers in the I
woods behind the building, so we i
gathered a huge bouquet of yellow
HoVers and placed them in a large 1
Jar, which some one found in one of j
the wine cellars. It was a wine cask
used by the monks. Guess they1
haven't found any wine yet. Our new j
quarters are going to be fine, the j
rooms are high and all have one large
window at least. We expect to have
two nurses in a room, which will be
lost comfortable. Also we will have
running water and toilets on each
floor, and I might add that these con
veniences are luxuries in this coun
try. There are only fifteen of our
nurses here at present, but we have
no patients. However, we expect
aome in the next day or so and they
will be welcome as the time hangs
heavy on idle hands especially when
we are two miles from the nearest
town. It surely will be a great life,
the only excitement is walking and it
also is the chief outdoor sport.
