There are five or six nurses on duty
at the hospital and the staff of physi-
clans and surgeons includes on the
medical side, Dr. George A. Socum,
DR.. George F. Forbes and DR.. Edith
L. Clark; on the surgical side DR.. ].
K Warren and DR.. LamsQn Allen. DR..
Edwin A. Clarke is the occulist and
aurist for the hospital. While the
above is the regular hospital staff, the
hospital is open to any physician in
good standing for private patients.
The executive board of the hospital
is divided into boards of visitors of
two members each. One of these
boards of visitors looks after the needs
of the hospital for one month. This is
done by the means of visits to the in
stitution whose needs are reported to
the buyer, Mrs. w. H. Burns. Some of
the rooms were originally furnished by
those interested in the hospital, and
these rooms bear their benefactors
names. Hence, there is the Tanning
room, the Stratton. Warren, Allen,
Taylor, Peel Colburn and McCullagh
These rooms were furnished by Mrs.
D. H. Tanning, Mrs. R. c. Taylor, Miss
Jennie R. Stratton, Mrs. Elizabeth
Colburn, Miss Emma Peel, Mrs. Archi-
bald McCullagh. Mrs. Lamson Allen
and Mrs. John K. Warren. Some of
who furnished them, but others and all
the rest of the rooms are taken care
Of by the associate membership.
In order to do this it is necessary to
raise funds from time to time. Last
year the women had three sales, one
of them, the rummage sale, Melted
them $500 and that sum was used to
help pay off the debt for the heating
apparatus. This year there is to be a
rummage sale, which will be held this
month. The associate members also
have an entertainment planned to take
place in Association Hall Dec. 3, when
]. William Macy of New York is to
appear The work of the hospital is so
worthy of support that it's needs
| should be close to the generous heart
of the city and response to any call
should be most ready.

The really fashionable woman of the
present season has a selection of rufus
|
noticed at the Woman's Club whist
and are seen at the theatre, for which
occasion they are extremely effective.
The rufus come in full length, reach
ing to the bottom of the gown or in
shorter styles, falling to the waist line
or to a three-quarter length. They are
shown in the shops in delicate pinks
blues, white and black and white.
Rufus are not so common, at least the

often the very touch needed to relieve
a monotony of color or a too severe
costume.
Some fetching rufus are shown at the
Boston Store. The foundation of these
is of mousseline de sole. and all are
edged with satin or silk ribbon and
have pleated chiffon ends
One seen is of black and white in
! spiked arrangement Another is
shirred, while still another has prettily
| looped ribbon in delicate blue as an
over-foundation. A few of the black
and white rufus are suitable for street
wear.
