The Fashionable Modes OF Paris

basque, though some show a BASQUE of
three-quarter length, but this is chiefly
for sporting purposes. The smartest
coats are built for Americans, and show
the short basque, sometimes cut at the
waist and sometimes made all in one,
and worn with tight-fitting, plainly
braided waistcoat, just cut away at the
neck to show the still beloved muslin
cravat and neat tie. The skirts are not
absolutely plain, because they are braid
edand very slightly eased in at the waist,
but simple indeed is the orthodox of the
tailor-made skirt. 1t is fuller round the
feet than the orthodox plain skirt of yCre
mostly finished with three rows of deep
braid or large fiat tucks with braid laid
thereon 1t just clears the ground, no
more. These skirts are made in coarse
canvas, plain cloths, rough friezes, and
big checks in black, navy blue and
brown.
The somewhat sombre effect of some
of these frocks is lightened by cavalier
cuffs and neat collars of velvet, adorned
with beautiful buttons. In style these
garments are absolutely perfect and
they form a very welcome change after
the more yolumfnous varieties, and are
more appropriate for quiet occasions and
travelling. Nothing looks so bad as a
much befrilled and gagged skirt when
travelling by train or steamer, for ii
catches up dust and microbes, and soon
presents a bedraggied appearances
There are the striped cottons and neat
f1annels which are made up over here
with long basque coat and semi-fitting
waist, somewhat after the style of an
English riding habit. These skirts are
cut as plainly as possible, though we still
notice little fulness about the hips and
feet. With these the Frenchwoman ger
orally wears dainty washing linen or
cambria blouse, showing some fine hand
stitchery, and neatly finished at the col
lar and cuffs as such costume should
be- Very pretty are these skirts with
gathered frills of muslin down the front
and on the collar A simple and appro-
pirate hat completes these neat tailor
made models.
Some notable elegantes of Paris are al
made garments n direct contrast to
the elaborate toilettes which meet the
eve on all sides. It is predicted that
later on the suede coat will be ali the
rage. This requires cutting by the tailor
who thoroughly understands his art.

SiCKROOM TACTICS.

Patient and Tactful.

Patient and Tactful.
The proper mental atmosphere Great
ed in a sickroom Is often as important
as the remedies given. A nurse should
be in touch with her patient-that is.
she should be sympathetic and not al
low irritability and whims to upset her
eQuanimity. The nurse who can create
an atmosphere of rcpose. who can hui
NOR without indulsng her patient IN
all the idiosyncraSieS OF sick peop'c
has won half the battle. An unsy mpa=
thetic, impatient nurse will do more
hinder recovery than the lack of rem
edies. 1t is not acts and words alone
that help or hinder; her very thoughts
are as potent as her general conducf
and the sensitive patient will be intu-
enced for good or Ill if the nurse We're
dumb. She should at all times main
tain positive uplifting mental att-
tude and remember that the patients
irritability or melancholia is justified
by her physical condition and Is not
perverseness.
Gentleness. patience and, above all.
tact are the requisites for good and In
telligent nursing, and the nurse who
lacks these qualities has indeed missed
her calling. Patients have often failed
