voyage IN comIort-
A remedy which has stood nearly half
century's trial is the spinal ice-bag In
vented by DIR. Chapman. After care
fully studying the subject he came to the
conclusion that the vomiting was caused
by an excess OF blood in the nervous
centres of the. back, especially in those
, segnlents of the spinal cord related to
the stomach and the muscles concerned
in vomiting"
To lower the temperature, and so les
sen the amount of blood locally, he de-
signed s. long, narrow bag with three
| pockets, so that the ice should not fall
to the bottom of the hag. The mouth is
closed tightly by a clamp to prevent the
escape OF water, and ths spinal ice-bag
is attached to the back by means of
tapes.
A more practical remedy and probably
more effacious one, is the wearing of
tight abdominal belt. Medical men are
agreed as to the necessity of compressing
the abdominal regions, at least in in the
early stage of the voyage, until the stom-
ach has become accustomed to the pitch
in gof the vessel. Anordinary handker-
chief will do equally well, provided it is
tied very tightly.
Everybody in camp worked by Mar
garet.
When it was Margaret's day for help
ing to cook or wash dishes, Margaret
gracefully slid out of it. She went berry
ing or fishing or off for sail.
She did this so prettily and quite as
matter of course. that nobady in camp
noticed it except the Disgruntled Girl.
This Disgruntled Girl hated to cook
and wash dishes and she fatty said so.
Therefore. people thought her lazy and
disobligingbut she always stayed and did
her share
Margaret never said anything about it.
She just somehow was never around
when her turn came. But she was al
ways smiling and jolly. Therefore peo-
pie thought her charming, and somebody
always did her work for her uncomplain-
ingly.
Well, the world is full of Margarets
and Disgruntled Girls, say sthe Philadel-
phia Bulletin
The Margarets always shirk the hard
work. They look out serenely for their
own pleasure, and they do it with such
assurance nd charm that the world
helps them along. Nobody ever thinks
of voting them selfish. 1t comes to be a
matter of course for them to have the
easy part
The other people get into the way of
doing Margaret's share. She drops into
the easiest chair quite as a matter of
course. She chooses the pick of every
thing She does only the pleasant light
some things
If Margaret did this sort of thing ar
rogantly she would be hated In fact.
she couldn't do it so. Nobody would put
up with it. She does it SO sweetly, so
innoeently. with such charm. that she
hypnotizes people.
She is horribly selfish, but--nobody
knows it.
The Disgruntled Girl may be lot less
selfish. She may really be very selfish.
But nobody knows that either. It's her
way to do things, and she does them.
even though she growls about it.
Did you ever notice how many more
things are piled upon person of this
sort? People know that, no matter how
she grumbles. she will do it; and so they
go5 on heaping her with her duties, and
their own duties, and Margarets duties.
too.
And the Disgruntled Girl does them,
but she complains and growls, and there
fore all she gets is fine reputation for
being disagreeable. She is the stuff of
sN@hich martyrs are made, and not pleas
ant martyrs, either.
Its all a question of shirking your
duty amiably and having everybody love
you, or doing it disagreeably, and hav-
ing nobody like you.
For general utility frock of white--a
frock of the short skirt and tailor-built
type so practical for summer wear
nothing is more serviceable than white
nohair. Possibly this very fact counts
against the material, but the practical
woman will welcome the extremely
pretty striped white mohairs, which are
one of the novelties of the season and
have found much favor.
The stripping is, of course. in the
weave. and is in all widths from pin
stripe to good half inch The m,sair
is of the best quality. as pliable and soft
as serge, though with the old dust she'd
ding surface and lustre. Made up in
tailored fashion. costume of this stuff
will be found most useful item of the
summer wardrobe and give far better
service than the white serge which is
! first favorite. as usual, for the white and
wool summer suit, says the PhPiladeI-
phia Bulletin.
There are good offerings, too, in color
