this the passive element, nitrogen, and

Work In the sick Room.

Nerves of the sick are very acute,
and it is positive torture to them to see
the door open silently and a figure
creep in on tiptoe. No one would
dream of bursting the door open, or
even turning the handle with rattle,
but there is a medium course to pur-
sue
Walk in quietly, but without any un-
due and ostentatious silence. Go
straight up 10 the bed and speak in an
every day tone. and. without asking
any tiresOme questions, commence
speaking OF matters which you know
will interest, but not irritate, the pa
tient. Let your visit be short, and
when you rise to leave the room say
your "goodby" briefly, and go at once,
avoiding any of that lingering which
is both annoying and wearying to the
invalid
When visiting a sick friend dress
with Il certain amount s; care and fore
thought; do not put on your dullast,
shabblest clothes. and, on the other
hand. avoid anything that rustles and
tidgets the patient. Some people like
to take flowers into the sick room. 1t
is as we'll to ascertain beforehand,
from some member Of the family, what
kind Of flower is liked by the patient.

Color Schemes.

\ little thought even in the selection
OF couch or bench cushions gives more
attractive results. For instance, in
stead Of having a "hodge-podge,' 1t Is
well TO confine oneself 10 three tints,
two in the majority and then little
Of the third TO give contrast and char
acter The shades, of course, to be de-
termined by the color scheme of the
room. Green, yellow and golden brown
are an effective trio for a room where
weathered oak is used Or where an
old blue wall covering is used or there
is blue in the floor rugs. as so often
happens with Oriental rugs, cushions
of browns and yellows will be bright
ened by one or two of bright blue.
