The state committee of the Young
Women 3 Christian association has secured
NJ ISIS Henrietta Henderson to do the work
OF state secretary for the spring college
term. Miss Henderson comes from Cham
paign, ILL.,, where she is secretary Of the
college association at the University OF
Illinois.
AS the work of the state association is
chiefly with college associations, Miss
Henderson is we'll qualified to fill the po-
sition. She Is a graduate Of the Univer-
sity of Kansas where she was president
of the college association. Her fret eX-
perience in secretarial work was las year
at the University of Nebraska. where she
broke the ground in that field. College
secretaries are new development in as
sociation work and the plan was first tried
at the University Of Minnesota about three
years ago. 1t has been so successful that
now fourteen of the larger colleges en-
ploy secretaries.
At Nebraska, the association was not
strong nor fully recognized and Miss Hen
derson's work was chiefly in putting 1t
upon better basis and spreading its
influence. In a general way the work OF
a college secretary is to act as counselor
and friend to the girls, especially where
there Is no dormitory or woman dean

Minneapolis is to have a new system OF

Minneapolis is to have new system OF
trained nursing that will supply long
felt need. The Guild for Hourly Nursing
is made up of eight well-known graduate
nurses who have decided to try here the
system of taking patients by the hour,
visiting them in their homes and giving
them the attention they need. This Pc
riodical attention is all that is required
by many patients, and will result In q
great saving in many cases and in trained
attention in others, which without this
plan would be obliged to dispense en-
tirely with trained nursing.
Many cases that demand the services OF
trained nurse to dress wounds, give
baths, etc., can be adequately served by
two visits day and the supervision py
the nurses of the general care given by
1.-THE family in; the interval. BY the sys-
TEN Of hourly nursing nurse could take

The summer season of 1902 will undoubtedly
hereafter be known as the period Of the
vogue of the bell sleeve which is tight-fitting
full and puffed effect below the elbow, being
gathered into some fancffully conceived cuff
at the wrist. This gives the opportunity for
the introduction Of white gchiffons and mulls,
ecru laces, as we'll as the white flet ones;
small buttons, tiny ribbon straps, or cordings
and loops, also serve to give an added touch
of daintiness and fashion to the sleeve. The
upper part is sometimes tucked in hairline
tucks, or shlrred, or plated in mousquetaire
fashion The idea of the sleeve is carried out
in the vest and collar; but one could almost
swear that the sleeve design is first con-
ceived, and the remainder of the garment
hung upon that. Some beautiful imported
models are showing the deep lace cuff reach

Mrs. Mandigo has been associated with
Mrs. S. B. Irvine in the national Sunday
school temperance work she has sent out
nearly 2,0OO,0 900 pages of literature to de-
partment workers in the United States and
other countries. At her hands Sunday
school workers have received over 100000
pledge cars and unnumbered class pledge
and family pledge rolls and other depart
ment supplies. Thus she has been most
important factor in the Sunday school
work of the National W. CT. U.
BY nature Mrs. Mandigo is thoroughly
unselfish, charitable and always self
sacrificing. Her work is done in quiet,
undemonstrative way, which is so much to
be admired. She is, indeed noble type
of Christian womanhood, possessing those
traits of character which make her an
ideal wife and mother and true friend
