They are well aware that since Florence Nightingale tended the Crimea wounded in a long, grey tweed wrapper, nurses' uniforms have followed fashion from the Gibson-girl shirtwaist to the pencil-slim sheath. To nurses, the top designer and dressmaker is Manhattan's White Swan Uniforms, Inc. Last week White Swan brought out a fat new catalogue with 98 attractive styles.
