S.uioes N,nisas...

his desire for a free "ad." This sales
Imes oa two legs, with the song that
be er she hawks around, is of batik
saxes, of ail ages, and of many types.
Quite the commonest type, how.ver.
IS that of the lady -like young gentle -
sea. the dainty, blond, mamma's boy,
who called on the manager of a To-
ronto theatre the other day, with the
request that, for the sake of patriot-
ism, he should be allowed to chirp
there for his eountry's good and
thereby "aid enlistment." The man-
ager had seen other specimens of
the same kind, however. In fact,
like a good many other man-
agers, he had come b the conclusion
that this type is not exactly cut out
for the sounding of bugle calls, and
that these "patriots" are out after the
dollars and cents sad little else.
"These geniuses," be said, "in-
variably say that their patriotic
song is a 'riot,' and makes 'Tipper-
ary' look like an amateur. But their
real aim is to advertise their pro-
duct under the pretence that they
are acting for the sake of their
country."
But all the songs are not hopeless,
though the great tnajortty of them
are. "We're From Canada" bas un-
doubtedly caught the popular fancy.
In fact, recently It was 'sung on the
same day at no fewer than seven thea-
tres and places of amusement to the
elty, while it has been adopted as the
"march put" of the 109th, Toronto
Regiment.
From three to eve patriotic songs
are received dally at the one theatre.
Many of these are from soldiers at
Exhibition Park. The soldiers usual-
ly send the words, but not the music.
And they are great as parodists, some
of their parodies being really clever.
Some of the songs that are sent in
to the various theatres are excruci-
atingly, if quite unintentionally, fun-
ny. Many of them have made the In-
teresting discovery that "brave"
rhymes with "gra-ve," and perhaps
seven out of ten of them are deter-
mined not to conceal the fact from a
(perhaps) listening world. Others
are concluded In terms of fine irony,
a reference to the "neutral" attitude
of the United States being considered
perhaps the most delicate Ironical
touch. But though there are excep-
tions, the great majority of these pa-
triotic songs have the most inane
words and the most commonplace
music, however unexceptional the
sentiments. And, as regards both
words and music, there is plagiarism
aplenty. In fact, In general terms It
might be said, In the majority of
cases, of both, that what is good In
them is not new, and that what is
new In them is not good.
Fearlees Nurses.
Splendid work 1■ being done by
the Canadian nurses who have ar-
rived at the front in France. "Phe
Canadian nurses In their khaki cos-
tumes, with knlckerboc'kers and
broad -brimmed hats, look very smart
Indeed," says a correspondent of the
Rotterdam Nieuwe Courant. "In
the field they are everywhere. They
know no danger. And with wonder-
ful quickness they manage to get the
wounded behind the firing line and
out of danger. Several of them be-
long to the best families. There 1s
not the slightest coquetry about
their clothing, and sometimes their
delicate faces stand In graceful con-
trast to their sand -colored attire.
They speak French slowly, with
rather a heavy accent, The weather
is becoming more settled, and con-
esgnently the roads are Improving,
w that the action is expected to as-
sume greater dimensions, the More
so as half a million of British have
arrived. We only get a small part of
them here; the French front will get
