Nurses Wanted

Miss May Filbert and Miss Alice
Page, trained nurses from the General
Hospital at Buffalo. N. Y, are on their
way to Manila. Philippine Islands,
where they viii become attached to the
City Hospital there. To a reporter
shortly before sailing Miss Filbert said
Of their mission:
I'VE cannot say just how long We
will remain in Manila. 1t will not, how
ever, be for more than four years at
the most. Perhaps long before that
time. though, we will have had enough
Of the country.
There is a great dearth of women
nurses in the Philippines, and quite a
large number of urgent requests have
been sent to this country within the
/ last year from hospitals throughout the
Islands. particularly Manila, for trained
women nurses. The salary offered is
Ss5 a week and board, besides travelling
expenses to and from Manila. So you
see the inducements are not so bad
Then. TOO. the additional experience L
be gained will, we think, repay us II
more ways than one for our venture
Only those nurses, however, who hav'
had at least seven years practical ex
lperienoe in general hospital work, an'
who have secured recommendations az
to their proficiency and physical condi
tion from the institutions in whicl
they worked, are eligible for service il
the Philippines.
Besides all that" Miss Filbert add
ed. smilingly. "all candidates must b
b at least twenty-seven years of age an
not more than forty"

Handkerchief Headdress

Do you know how to knot a handker-
chief into a headdress which will finish
Iyour bathing costume in the most chic
Inanner possible2
1t is the simplest thing, and over in
France these handkerchief caps are
Immensely popular, being worn with
the most expensive bathing dresses
You may, If you like, wear underneath
a close fitting cap of rubber. Provide
yourself with a square of foulard and
place it on the head so that one corner
falls over each ear. Turn under the
back corner so that the back will fit
snugly over the nape OF the neck. Pinch
up a little bit of material on each side
of the front corner and knot it in order
that it may stand up coquettishly Now
bring up the two other corners and tie
them on top OF the head in a bow. Al
Just the whole tastefully as may be
and your headdress is complete and
more than that, it will not whisk on
no matter how brislxly the breezes
blow
