Nursing the sick Is perhaps the most
attractive field for the ambitious woman
who would win aud make the
most OF life. 1t is a refined occupation.
II gives skill 70 the hand and grace To
the heart. II Is the best paying occupa-
tion now open tn women, and presents
an widening field Of opportunity.
The call for nurses is a world. wide call.
II is the n calling which is not over
crowded.
The demand for skilled nurses in
creases with the years. Thousands of
young women have the natural graces
OF the skilled nurse, but have never had
a chance to cultivate them, and 30 have
been prevented from improving their
W condition and blessing the race.
But a new day has dawned. Large
hearted philanthropists have opened
wide the door Of opportunity at the
Philadelphia School for Nurses, 22l9
Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, Pa. A
Two Years Free Course has been es-
tablished at this Institution, wherein
the student is provided with room,
board, laundry, nurse uniforms, and all
the retiDements Of a good home, with
suitable training, instruction and actual
nursing in tho homes Of the poor and
among people Of moderate income, and
at the end Of the Course the students
fare home is paid.
The Term can be shortened to eighteen
months by a Course Of rix months read
ing and study ut home a course which
Is very valuable In itself. Hundreds of
young women, scattered all over the
country, are started In the work, becom-
Ing not only self. supporting, but a boon
to their respective neighborhoods.
A Short Course Is also provided for
the woman who wishes to quickly pre-
pare for self support and o substantial

Children play great role in French
society, as all those who have read

sienne insists on receiving on her
fete day and at the New Year a live
pet, instead of a costly doll or me-

Kittens, in tiny monkeys and in lambs,
but also in tigers and leopards. Up to

Certainly Was Unsafe.

The venerable Senator Pettus OF AL.
ALBANIA, So years old, called on the
president and complained about the
equipment of the post Office in Selma.
Ala. which is the town where both
he and Senator Morgan live.
The senator had complained often
to the post office department that the
equipment of the office at Selma is
antiquated. He has not been able
to do anything there, and he went
TO the White House to tell the pres
ident about it.
Why, Mr.. President" he said. my
box key fits four other boxes, and |
think you ought to do something
about it"
The president promised to attend
To it.

WHITE HOUSE CHINA
MOULD MAKE A MOST INTEREST.
ING COLLECTION.
unfortunately the Various "Sets" Used
ny Successive Presidents Have
Been Two Widely Scattered
; to Admit of This.

One OF the confessed hobbies OF Col
William III. Crook, for 40 years execu
tive clerk at the White House, is tn.
presidential china Col. Crook ha.
made a thorough study of the White
House ware, and himself possesses al
interesting collection.
In 1T is one of the Madison plates
which he discovered in a secondhand
store. 1t is small tea plate. with q
narrow gold rim edging a wider pale
blue band encircled by little golden
stars A broad blue band comes next
edged with another band of gold. In
the center of the plate is a medallion
outlined in gold and filled with tiny
badly blurred gold stars.
NO more interesting collection
could possibly be made said Col.
Crook, than one that would show the
china used by each successive presi.
dent. Unfortunately the White House
mas never had curator whose duty it
was TO care for its furnishing, and at
this late day it would be impossible to
make such a collection. The existing
specimens, however, are of much his.
toric value, and should be preserved
with the utmost care.
Although George and Martha Wash.
sngton never lived in the White House
yet the china which they used, both at
MT. vernon and at the executive man
sions in Philadelphia and New York.
would properly come under this head.
ing Luckily for posterity, more of it
as still extant than of the household
ware OF all the other early presidents
combined. That Lady Washington was
"a typical colonial housewife, proud of
her line linen and china is attested by
her own and Gen Washington's Wills
In which disposition is made of quaint
ties OF those things.
Most of Mrs. Washington's china
descended first to her grandson
George Washington Parke Custis. and
Included the Cincinnati and Van
braam sets, besides many other spe-
cific pieces. BY Mr.. GUSTS it was left
20 the grandson, George WASHINGTON
ousus Lee, the eldest son of Robert f..
Lee. 1t will be recalled that during
the civil war it was taken from the an
iesCral home of tie Lees, at Arlington.
and stored in the patent office with the
other national collections. When the
estate passed into the pos.
session of the government, it. with |
'ther Washington relics, was placed |

1913.
There are to be seen in this very
Interesting and valuable collection
nany pieces of the old blue and white

iassitied pieces. There are also more
