VISITING TRAINED NURSES.
The New and Successful Plan OF
Serving by the Hour That Is
Now I'm Vogue.

The new departure of hiring trained
nurses by the hour is more and more
popular in New York. Three or four
years ago the experiment was first tried
and il is being introduced into other
cities throughout the country. The
suggestion was first made by Miss
Kimber, young Englishwoman, who
graduated at the Bellevue training
school in the eighties, and, after few
years practice of her profession in New
York, returned to her home in England.
She pointed out TO her associates that
only the comparatively wealthy could
afford to pay the weekly fees of SIS to
$50, and also that in the average city
household the limited room allowed no
accommodation for nurse. 1t hap
pens, too, in many cases OF illness, that
trained nurse is not a necessity except
at certain times Of the day. Miss Kim
Der and a number Of other graduate
nurses then announced their willing
ness 10 pay hourly visits, at the very
moderate rate of so cents for the first
hour and 35 cents for each additional
hour or fraction of an hour.
Now all the nurses registries in
New York keep lists of those who give
hourly as well as weekly services, and
the demand for them is increasing
steadily from the usual private sources,
and from physicians who need assist
ance in trifling operations or in
emergency cases. The plan has been
of great benefit TO the nurses rs well
as to their patrons. The profession is
one of the most fatiguing in which n
woman can engage, and long rests be-
tween difficult cases are absolutely
necessary to her health. Thus n nurses
income, which seems large, is not re-
ally so, owing 10 these periods of en-
forced idleness. To be able to earn
little without working many hours
in the day is OF manifest advantage to
the resting nurse. Again. many wom-
en- who take the hospital training
course have homes of their own and
prefer TO spend most of their time in
the domestic atmosphere. TO such the
hourly engagements are especially con-
genial, keeping them in constant touch
with their work and affording them a
certain income.-lIarper's Bazaar.

DRESS HANGERS.
A Handy Continuance That IL Easily
Made and Saves the
Clothes.

The dress or coat hangers which are
soid in the stores for a small sum, and
which serve SO materially to keep skirts
and waists In good form when hung
away, may be made attractive with
small expenditure. Every woman likes
10 have her belongings given n touch
of luxury, and the dress hangers fin
ished as / shall describe give this APP
pearancc TO wardrobe.
The form of the hanger, be IL wooden
or wire, is first to be covered with cot
ton batting fitted closely over the
frame. After this is done, sachet pow
der may be sprinkled literally over the
cotton, and an outer covering Of some
pretty material added. This covering
may be of silk, satin, sateen, or one
of the new Innings which look so much
like silk. A cloth may be used, but
the dress will not slip over IL so readily.
Select material OF a pretty color and
join the edges by overhanding along
one edge, fitting carefully TO the shape.
Ribbon Is sometimes used for cover
ing, but this is too expensive for the
ordinary purse. IL is wound over and
over. with the edges just tapping, and
Is drawn tight, so that there Is no dan
ger OF its slipping out OF place. A mar
row ribbon is used TO wrap the hook by
which IL hangs. This may be done
with any material that is used, by
cutting a narrow strip with one edge
selvedge and wrapping closely. 1t is
not necessary TO cover the hook, al
though Il gives nicer finish.
A dress hanger thus covered makes
an acceptable gift for a friend of fine
tastes. and the covering should be in
her favorite color; or IL intended for n
particular suit in a color 10 harmonizc
with that. The sachet powder used
should be selected with view TO her
preference.
All sorts OF elaborate and even ex-
travagnnt fancies are INDUCED I'm for
these coverings, but the utility Of the
hanger needs TO be kept in mind. and
too fanciful covering seems out OF
place. A hanger wrapped in white and
gold makes an acceptable gift for

CHAPTER vIII.-CoNrrNUED.

With thrill of supreme delight
Stanton hailed the first motion of the
wheels as the steamer started, but it
was of very short duration.
He looked about the deck with n
shudder. 1t was crowded with the
promiscuous company always 10 be
found on the Pacific.
Before the land had disappeared
Stanton discovered that il had been all
n mistake to imagine that the starting
Of the steamer would better his condi-
ton. 1t had only changed it for the
worse.
AS ths dark fringe sank into the
eastern horizon he clutched the rail,
by pure muscular resistance to prevent
himself from leaping into the water;
not TO suicide, but in an overwhelming
desire TO get back again to that fading
fragment of America.
The thought OF Imprisonment in that
steamer while she crept over the thou
sands OF miles of blank ocean was more
horrible than anything he had suffered
on the land.
"Oh, Stanton, you fooll" he gnsped.
Turning his back upon the east, he
walked deliberately up to a company of
passengers and began conversation
with one of them.
Before the sun had set the second day
he passengers generally had discov-
cred that there was entertainment
wherever Stanton CHANGED to be, and
that he was always the center of IL.

sentiment upon those steamers, yet
