Admirable work is being done at the British Women's Hospital in Paris. The whole staff is composed of members of the gentler sex and the chief surgeon is Dr Louisa Garrett-Anderson, whose mother it will be remembered , as one of the pioneers among women in the field of medicine. The institution is fitted with every appliance and many a British "Tommy" wounded by German bullets or shrapnel is deeply grateful for the treatment he has received in the hands of these skillful doctors. The hospital is the converted Hôtel Claridge but dining room, smoking rooms and lounges have all gone now. They are being mad to serve a more useful purpose.
