A CALL FOR TRAINED NURSES.
BY "A Graduate of the Training School
Ofthe New York Hospital.

When the civil war broke out thirty
seven years ago there was not a trained
nurse to answer the call
To-day there are, in New York city
alone, six colleges for the training Of
nurses and almost as many In Chicago
and Philadelphia. Scarcely large city
but boasts it's training school
When General Fitzhugh Lee predicted
war three months ago, the call Tor tram
ed nurses was quietly issued by the Red
Cross and the military organizations.
''For every fifty soldiers there must be
one trained nurse was the decision OF
The head physician Of the Red cross
society. Hundreds answered the call and
thousands who were never before inter-
ested In nursing made inquiries about II
as a profession.
The schools for trained nurses are now
forming their classes and I'm few days
these viii be complete for the coming
year.
For the benefit Of those who want 10
follow the study of nursing, or who think
It worth considering the following rules

her gowns. Her estimate was five hand-
kerchiefs for each dress.
The hair this summer will be worn as
plain as possible. This saves deal or
money. for the summer girl can brush
her hair over back, do it mp in knot,
and stick a pin in il without going to the
bairdressor; but If the hair is worn plain,
the neck makes up FOR IL in furnishings

strong glue. Each violet is glued upon the
satin or silk and is then pressed with "a
heavy weight. If the glue is strong enough
and the weight is heavy enough, the vio-
lee becomes almost stamped in the silk.
USES or GLUE.
In making little summer trimmings. the
summer girl should understand the value
of glue. The small pretty things which
YOU buy I'm the shops are nearly always
put together by the aid Of good glue
Glue is much heater than stitches and
holds O. great deal longer for some vari-
cites of work. Take the hem in a skirt,
and nothing keeps IL in place like a good
tailors glue. such as IS used for the bot
tom of mems trousers. So with fine trim
minEs and slipper decorations, glue takes
the place OF stitches.
The summer poCketbOok matches the
dress. This Is very easily managed with
out much expenditure. in these days OF
inexpensive imitation feathers, st is very
easy TO get a pretty green pocketbook
10 match the green dress. or a lavender
one 10 match a lavender suit. The gray
and tan feathers are so numerous that
