Chiffon Blouses.

Every tailor-made gown of the present
moment has as a bodice one of those
charming blouses of chiffon and lace the
chiffon being in the same color as the cos
tune, and all carrying out the new Idea
which We seem to be exrlOiting-i. e., the
skirt and waist to match. These chiffon
bodices are really the prettiest fad we have
INDUCED in for a long time. They are
made always in a tone of chiffon to match
exactly the costume with which they are
worn, and are generally made up in the
style of a full bodice of accordion plated
chiffon, lifting somewhat loosely over a
tight-fitting lining of satin or silk. Then
bolero or stole of lace with half sleeves
and collar is added. Often stripes of old
lace form the only ornamentaton. Very
often the bodice is pOUched all round over
a swathed waistband of silk cut rather
high. Again, ii is sometimes made tight
fitting at the back and sides and very loose
only in front, with a narrow belt of the
same colored ribbon, the distinctive note
in these bodices being that everything must
be the exact color of the skirt. The sleeves
very full, with a cap of lace and a loose
bishop underSleeve of chiffon confined at
the wrist with a lace cuff. For afternoon
wear there is nothing SO popular as these
little bodices.

N URSING THE SICK
HOW TO MAKE AND CHANGE THE
BED.
Hints for Use in the Absence Of
the Trained .,'
Nurse.


Written for The Evening Star.
Sickness comes at some time, soon or
late, to every family, no matter how care
fully guarded but trained nurses are not
always at hand On this account, 1t is a
safe thing for every woman to know just
how to prepare and to change a bed for a
person too i'll to be readily moved.
The best bedstead for use in sickness is of
brass or iron, six and half feet in length,
two or two and half feet in height, and
three feet in width.
The mattress should be of hair as that
can be readily cleaned and disinfec: ed
Cotton makes the best material for Sheets
as linen is apt to chill. Three sheets should
be in use at a time-the upper, the lower
and the draw, which is placed directly
under the patient. Blankets of good quail
ty make the best covering, with light
weight counterpart at the top. There
should be two large pillows-one of hair
and the other of feathers-and as many
small pillows as the eXigencies of the case
require.
If rubber sheet is necessary, spread 1t
smoothly on the mattress. Put on the
lower sheet and pin it into place on the
upper side of the mattress, so that the
patient may not work 1t up into wrinkles
Fold the draw sheet and pin it across the
middle of the bed that it will extend
from the patients shoulders to well below
the hips. Put on the upper sheet, leaving
it a little loose for the feet and long
enough to turn over the blanket at the top.
The blanket need not be long as the
sheet but should be long enough to tuck
around the patients neck. The counter
pane may be of the same length as the
sheet and left long enough to fold over.
In changing the bed. roll the patent to
side, putting one hand against the
shoulder and the other against the hip.
Roll the lower sheet up in lengthwse fods
against the patient, put on the fresh sheet
and the draw sheet, and pin in place Pro-
tect the patient with the upper sheet and
roll him over on to the spread-out portion
of the clean sheets Pull the lower sheet
smooth and pin. Put a clean upper sheet
on over the soiled one. tuck in the clean
one and remove the soiled one
1t is scarcely necessary to emphasi the
fact that in changing the bedding every
thing should be aired warmed and at
hand so that there need be no delay.
Double beds make good SEX beds, as the
pa tient can sleep on one half during the
day and the other half a night.
If there is any tendency toward bed sores
make cushion or use a circular pillow
covered with linen or cotton. Pads and
cushions of all sorts and sizes may be
used to make the patient more com or Ia BILE.
Even in extreme illness. physicians now
decree that bed clothing and garments
should be changed every few days. moth

NEW YORK, october $, 1903.
A subtle point in all artistic costuming
nowadays is the way that tints and tones
are blended together. Some soft shades of
gray are just a wink of the eyelash off from
one another, and when combined one melts
INTO another SO tenderly that tne impress
sion of scanning is lost. THESE delicate
cloud-like hues are called mole grays, and
they are admirably expressed in French
cloth Costumes in such materials often run
to shaped biases, left raw edged and shad-
ing from the palest to the deepest tint.
Deep silk frnges will embelish a few of
the imported cloth costumes, and these will
be entirely in one tone.
To count the shades of magenta which
fashion Is now putting forth would be
thankless task, for their number is legion.
Some the dame has plainly unearthed from
her garnet of dead modes. and few of the
roses of the newer tints have the sentiment

Character in Walking.

Steps that are quick are Indicative of

Slow steps, whether long or short suggest

case may be.
The proud step Is slow and measured.

Coiffures of the Hour.

Though coiffures are still picturesque,
they are neater and closer than they were
a few months ago, and great many are
parting the hair in the middle. Wise people
adapt the fashions to their own require
ments, especially in hairdressing They
must be modified to suit the face and shape
of the head. The broad style. which is
adapted from the Gainsborough days. has
