coNvALEscENT NURSING.
A New Field of Employment for the
Young Woman Fitted for
the Service

A new branch of work which is be-
coming popular with young women de-
sirous of earning their own living is
''convalescent nursing" There is a
growing field for these workers. A
course of instruction in the art of con-
valescent nursing is to be obtained at a
moderate. figure. The period of time to
be covered by the nurse elect, in learn
ing her duties is about three months.
The applicant begins her course by re-
porting every day and donning nurses
uniform at the school of convalescent
nursing. She is taught how to battle,
feed and care for patients in the hos
pital, how to adjust bandages and as
sist at operations, and, besides this, she
goes about among other hospitals,
wherever her instructors desire her to
see certain special operations or treat
ment. At the end of her three months
course the student, If she be only or
dinarily bright, is considered equipped
for her work and ready to supplement
the graduate trained nurse.
The convalescent nurse is expected to
receive but a modest salary, and in
households where the salary of a
trained nurse is an item to be considered
the 4convalescent nurse is readily well
coined.
Another side of this new vocation for
women is that it gives the young women
at home an opportunity of fitting her
self for service that may prove valuable
in the family circle.

FIrERY FOR THE FAIR.
Notes OF the Modes for the Comlng
spring and Summer
seasons.


The new pongees and standings viii
charm color lovers with their soft pas
tel tones
Small clusters of very green apples,
pears and currants appear on French
millinery.
Small hats are to be more fashion
able the coming summer, 1t Is predict
ed, than for several seasons past.
A wide silk girdle of the same color
attached to the lining is a characteris-
tic of the new Etons.
The lace or chiffon waist to match
the color of the skirt is the correct
separate waist just now.
Blouses of plain-colored silk can be
completely changed in appearance by
altering the style of the lace collar.
Hairline stripes and small checks in
taffeta are to be the first shirt waist
suits worn for spring.
Batiste brilliant is an exquisite thin
material, with a crisp, yet soft sur
face, and q satin finish.
One of the new fashions in evening
dress is long sleeves, very full at the
elbow.
Blue and green as color combina-
ton Is to be revived in the new sea-
sons thin fabrics.
Box plaits both broad and narrow,
single and double, appear on many of
the newer skirts.
The incoming models for the shirt
waists of early spring show liking for
embroideries in color
For tea jackets, dressing sacques and
house gowns, ruffies are an exceedingly
popular means of decoration.
When wells are worn with the strictly
tailor-made suit, they should be less
deliberately draped than when used with
a visiting toilette.
1t is noticeable that the trimming of
the spring neckwear is concentrated in
the front. Nearly all the stocks taper
off toward the back, and the bows or
rosettes with which they are adorned
come in the front.
The turquoise seems to have almost
disappeared this winter, and to have
been relegated to the jewel cases. The
gems most in vogue are pearls, dia-
monds and sapDhires,

BERRIES FOR MARKET.
1t Pays to Raise Them, Provided the
Crop Ii Disposed OF In the Right
Way and Place.

Having been asked by farmer SUBJ
scriber. II it will pay to grow berries
for market, in reply will say yes
If the business is managed right, and
the crop disposed OF in the right way
and place. A good many of our
towns are not properly supplied with
berries; what they get. if any. are
second class-the overflow or refuse
from the cities, where the market is
often glutted. The commission men
send circulars out before the berries
are ripe, giving prices of berries shipped
from the south, inducing many home
growers to ship BY the time their ber-
ries get ripe the demand is supplied,
prices drop. and the berries being per-
ishable product, have to be sold for
what they will bring.
My advice is to grow berries for local
market towns that are not well supplied.
Such places can be found in the west:
land can be bought for less than half
that close to large cities. pickers are
cheap, and, as rule, more reliable.
Berries that get too ripe on account of
ram, ana which will not do to ship, can
be sold in the home market; all the
rough handling of the railroad men,
shipping expenses, commissions, ETC.,
are saved, also crates and boxes. Then
when consumers get fresh. wholesome,
home grown berries, they often get twice
as many. and the growers in the local
market often can regulate the price.
1t is mistake to plant too large an
acreage. We have to pay two cents
quart for pickers; one cent for straw
berries and blackberries and one and
one-half to two cents for raspberries.
The pickers can make good wages.
