Sfck.Room Etiquette.

Sick-room etiquette should be observed
as vigorously as that OF the drawing
room or boudoir, and the one In charge
should enforce II as vigorously as she
does the taking Of medicines. OF course.
in a case of grave illness, a trained
nurse Is always to be advised, but In the
many small ills Of children and OF grown
folk, too, 1t is well for every woman to
know something OF the ministering
angels work.
First, think of the room itself. The
largest sunniest bed chamber should be
given up to the sick, no matter who Is
occupying It. 1.-THE model sick room Is
spacious. light, airy, clean, and quiet"
said a medical authority to me yesterday.
1.-The larger the room the better 1t can
be aired; the airier II is the cleaner 1t
will be, and the cleaner It Is the more
favorable it Is for the recovery OF the
patient"
The nurse should never be an over
anxious, frightened, or gloomy person.
She should be quiet, quick, cheerful, and
composed. A nervous, fussy person VIII
communicate her restlessnesS to her pa
tents in an incalculable degree, working
much harm and absolutely no good.
A. sick room should only contain essen
t.ais-a bedside table. an easy chair.
lounge, and a large movable screen. One
can be easily improvised by placing a
shawl or sheet over an ordinary clothes
horse, though simple folding screen can
be bought for q small sum. There are
tables which are made for the purpose, so
that the table reaches well over the bed;
bed trays, however, which have rim
round three sides, are better. IL used in
stead OF these tables.
Avoid having superfiuous things around.
| All furniture should be Of the simplest
| kind, and anything which adds TO the diff
| Guilty of absolute cleanliness must be
| strictly avoided. See that everything is
| substantial and In repair. Blinds that
| flap, windows that rattle, and doors that
| creak take more out of the patient than
| medicine can ever restore.
A very misguided idea OF the well-in-
| tentioned Is to whisper in sick room,
| or to step just outside the door for a
| little consultation. This is simply torture
| to the invalid. Try as she will, her at
| tention is strained by the whispers. and
| she Is annoyed and fretted. A low, dis
| tinct tone. when conversation Is necessa-
| ~, Is the best thing. Whatever the pa
| tient is not intended to hear must not be
| said In her presence.
And last, but by no means least, allow
no visitors during the convalescence who
stay more than fifteen minutes, who talk
| loudly or too much. or who are OF q
"sympathetlc" turn Of mind.

Pretty Fall Eads.

Women lay aside their summer trap
pings with many sigh of regret. The
lovely, dainty fripperies have been her
delight all the long summer season,
and 1t seems a bit hard to put them
all away Just when she has grown so
fond Of them. But woman was ever IL
tickle creature, and she Will. after a
sigh or two. turn with avidity 10 the
sober richness Of the fall trappinss.
The summer girl was never more be-
witching than the fall maiden-this nut
brown maiden, who fits so gracefully
through the streets, her eyes sparkling.
her cheeks glowing with health, and a
general air OF being on the most frieDdly
terms with the world. She is pleasant
sight and causes many a head to turn
to gaze after her.
This is to be distinct fur season; no
doubt about II; all the dealers say so. the
importers tell US the same thing. and, to
prove 1t. the modistes are fashioning the
smartest of street frocks, all more or less
rich with this regal stuff.
What Is there that can compare with
deep, richly tinted fur in becomingness,

which appeals strongly to every feminine
heart.
This year there will be more than one
disappointment, for the value of these
garments has increased to an astonishing
degree: what with the ripple skirt. the
immense sleeves. and still larger revers.
the amount of skin necessary for their
making is almost double that Of former
years. so, Of course, the price Is increased
accordingly. The newest have tall, faring
collars. to set up about the ears, which.
when turned down, look like a deep cape:
they are short coming just below the
hips, and are as full as full can be. The
sleeves are a mass Of soft puffs and rich
folds, and they are fastened with an al
together new button, namely, Of bronze
in different shades, and all richly carved:
they. however, seem less appropriate than
the old-fashioned ones Of fur. and 1t Is
likely will be but little used. one special
reason being their liability to cut the
fur all along its edges.
The Innings of these new Jackets are
richness galore; the sombre brown satin.

they are a novelty and will be worn.
A natty jacket has an oddly simulated
collar Of beaver setting out In loose
points over the shoulders; the collar Is
in the stock effect. with iaring points

popular style Of collar. and appears on
many of the new fur capes. The long

Philosophical reflections seem as much

deductions.
Mrs. Rorer's philosophical utteranees in
Madison Square Garden recently received
more applause than her direct remarks
