II Is interesting 20 note the lngenp-
ity dressmakers employ IN the mRklAg
OF gingham frocks. Many OF the hand
somer glnghams boast no end OF dainty
handlwOrk and there Is as much time
and elaborate trimmings spent on them
as Is spent on gowns designed for
great functions As there is no expec-
tation that these gowns will ever be
subjected TO tho laundresseG' hands
they are trimmed with ribbon velvet
and frequently with rufiies OF silk or
mousseline de sole Many OF them are
made up over silk slips and are suit
able for Informal afternoon calling
gowns and even for wear at small So
ciety affairs. In one the skirt IA made

are embroidered in deep rose shades
and black. which blend exqulsltely
with the rosy tint OF the gown itself.
The blouse Is OF accordion plated silk
With a yoke OF embroidered gingham.
The stocs and sash are OF ribbon In a

women. too, Otter complain OF tired
feet. and Il is said that trained nurses
suffer from swollen feet. especially
when they first so into hospitals Some
simple remedy for this trouble Is sure
TO be appreciated by those who are
often fatigued with standing. A pow

be OF service. II consists OF three parts
OF callcyllc acid, ten parts OF starch
and eighty-seven parts OF pulverized
soapstone This keeps the feet dry,
prevents chatting, and heals any sore
spots. The soapstone by itself has also
been found useful. Soap alone Will
also give relief, well rubbed over tho
sole OF the stockings. But even n
the powder proves beneficial or the
soapstone seems to give relief for a
