4 Odd Fad of
Michigan Girls

r. HE young women of Jackson.
Mich. have one OF the oldest
fads in the world It is no less
than that of dressing in male attire
for social functions. II has been In
vogue for the last three years. As
MANY as fifty of the best-known yor,le
women of the city have been known to
gather in one large party. each girl
appearing as "a swell young man
These parties are called girls stag
parties" and are attended by students,
stenographers. clerks. telephone girls
and factory girls. Many OF the parties.
are held in private homes. but not =
few take place in hired halls, where
the girls dance. play cards. and have
good time in general
The young women are very careful TO
exclude young men from all such gath
erings- They borrow clothing from
their brothers. cousins, sweethearts, and
friends. and enjoy the Iarks to the
fullest extent
IT think the fad started through
photographs" said N p standish, one
of the business men Of the city.
In the first place. a few girls got to-
gether in sort of clique, and Just for
the fun Of it donned male attire and
had a party They were photographed
in that style. and these pictures, coming
to the az tention of other girls. sug-'
gested otner parties.
Soon the fashion was started, and it
has been growing ever since. The sea-
son has already begun, and 1 know OF
several parties that have been held al
ready. More are being planned The
| young women who attend them are
well known in the city. and are Of good
families. 1t is simply very strange
but harmless fad, and so long as no
| evil effects come from it the people OF
Jackson have no objection
Some of the young men of this city
object very strenuously TO the new fash
ion Said one Of them. ruefully:
I'VE are practically boycotted since
the girls got to giving these stag par
ties. They borrow our clothing and
leave US out in the cold. They seem to
get along very well without US, and Of
course we do not like that sort Of
thing We are giving stag parties Of
our own in retaliation, and there is
likely to be a sex-agaiust-sex war here
II things keep on
Some persons attribute the fad to the
fact that desirable young men are
scarce in this town OF 10000 inhabitants
They say the best young men leave for.
Detroit or Chicago to obtain emplo--
ment. or else go to Ann Arbor or some
of the other colleges. and thus leave
the city devoid Of the best young male
element.
Nearly every party is photographed by
f1ashlight. and some of the groupings
would lead one to believe the girls are
/ a very fast set, but this is not the
case. The young women use pipes. beer
glasses. and other things simply to give
/ a certain touch to the pictures. but they
are really sober and very proper young
/ women.

REST ROOMS FOR
FARMERS FAMILIES

= ENERAL Western towns have tried
successfully the plan of provid-
- ing rest rooms for farmers and
their families who come to town on
shopping and selling intent. After ten
mile drive over dusty prairie roads the
women and children are grateful for a
wash and a Sleepy Hollow easy chair
before they sally forth to the stores or
TO make a round of calls among city
friends. In the Olden days this cleans
ing process was gone through hastily at
the back door of the corner grocery,
and the waiting for pa TO come back

uncomfortable stool in that same corner
grocery. or else, if the good country
folk belonged to the affiuent class. they
went to the extra expense of a hotel
room for rest and refreshment.
But the rest rom has changed all that.

Through the efforts of the New York
State Nurses Association A bill was
passed In Albany. April q, 1903. Three
other States, Virginia. North CarohDa.

part. the laws OF the different States
follow definite plan. and are designed
TO accomplish pra ctically the same ends.
New York has perhaps a more complete
system of laws than any other State in
the Union, and IT is generally acknowI-
edged that its standards of education
are higher than the standards in nearly
ali the other States. No attempt was
made to have tire New York law prevent
anyone who is not registered from
practicing the art of nursing. Its pur-
pose is to establish the title of regis
tered nurse" and to prevent anyone
who is not registered from using that
title. The so-called natural nurse viii
be permitted TO ply her vocation, but by
bringing a defuite meaning to the title
registered nurse" the public is enabled
to differentiate the skilled from the I'M
skilled nurse.

OF New York
IT is a long step from the days of Flor
cnce Nightingale. when the convalescent
pauper patients of Bellevue were de-
tailed as nurses in overcrowded condi-
tons Of that institution, to the trained
nurse of today. In the interregnum we
had the "Sairey Camps whose fame
and failings have been deemed worthy
of many pens Twenty years ago there
were few training schools in this coun-
try, the nursing being done by orderlies
or very ignorant women, who received
. a monthly wage equal to that of a ser
want Some of these women were faith
full souls and did their best, but that
would be Of little avail in modern sur
gerry as practiced in our large hospitals
today.
The art Of nursing has undergone an
evolution. and the trained nurse Of the
hour Is a very different person from
the graduate of fifteen or twenty years
standing. The time of training has
been extended from two to three years,
50 that the trained nurse graduates but
one year sooner than her sister who
takes a course in a medical college. In
fact she devotes more actual time to
her education. for each year of her
training covers eleven months, as
against the eight called for by the
medical school. She spends In her three
years course at least thirty-four
months, while the medical student
spends but thirty-two months in the
college of medicine
The need and advisability for regis
tration was more forcibly presented to
those Interested in the training schools,
as well as to the young women who
were willing to give up three OF the best
years OF their lives to training which
