Appeal on behalf of King Edward VII 's Hospital for Officers (Sister Agnes') by Captain Anthony Kimmins , O.B.E., R.N. (Retd.)
Contributions will be gratefully acknowledged and should be addressed to Captain Anthony Kimmins , [address removed]
King Edward VII 's Hospital for Officers has both single rooms and small wards, and aU commissioned officers of the Forces are eligible for admission, whether serving or retired. Serving officers are entitled to free nursing and maintenance in the ward beds; any difficulty which other patients may have in paying is always sympathetically considered. The hospital has its own consultant staff, whose fees are in accordance with the patients' means, and there is a Samaritan Fund to help those in straitened circumstances.

3—' Wandering Willie'
Produced by James Crampsey
(George Dories is in 'A Scrape of the Pen ' at the Gateway Theatre, Edinburgh)
Darsie Latimer , saved from death in the quicksands by the enigmatic ' Laird of the Solway Lakes,' senses that his rescuer knows more than Darsie himself of the mystery surrounding his birth and fortune. With the help of the Quaker fisherman, Joshua Geddes , young Latimer begins to make his way back to the inn at Shepherd's Bush.
Meanwhile in Edinburgh, Darsie's friend Alan Fairford reports the arrival of two strange visitors to his father's house-a Mr. Herries of Birrenswork, and a young lady in a green mantle. The former makes it clear that his business with the old lawyer concerns Darsie Latimer ; the latter makes it no less clear to young Alan that so long as Darsie remains on Solway-side he is in the gravest danger.
