The war has changed many ideas, and in letter from "In Memoriam" appearing in our cor respondence columns to-day will be seen an example of the new point of view which exists. Five years ago it was different, and at masquerade balls and similar shows where fancy dress was the order, parodies of all manner of uniforms were popular, and nobody gave the matter a second thought. In the meantime, however, a very different sentiment has been created, and those who went through the war would now feel very much hurt to see a pared however good-natured, of the forms they wore in the struggle. They mean so much more than ever they did before. And in the case of a nurse's uniform, the feeling is even more pronounced. To quote one French soldier, for instance. He says that after the Battle of Verdun, during which he was sent to an ambulance, the Red Cross uniform became sacred to him, and we believe that this sentiment will find an echo in the hearts of many other sailors and soldiers. It is well to remember this present-day conception of such matters, as it is obvious that. a piece of thoughtlessness will cause unnecessary hurt to feelings stirred by the war as they never were be-ore.
