Thoughts for the Home Nurse.

Thoughts for the Home Nurse.
A plain cotton dress with little
starch to cause rustling is a desirable
gown for the nurse. In case of in
fectio1s diseases her hair should be
covered with a cap. Perfumes and
scented soaps should be avoided by
those in care of the sick.
A trained nurse who has been most
successful in caring for diphtheria pa
tients and has escaped taking the dis
ease she thinks because of the pre-
caution to always cover the nose and
mouth of the patient with a handker-
chief wet in solution of one-flve-
thousandth per cent. of bichloride.
This protects one from the germs that
might fly out of his mouth while
spraying the nose or throat.
Another important rule for a nurse
to remember is never to eat anything
In the sick room, and always rinse her
mouth with nsterine or some antisep-
tic wash before eating.
A nurses hands should be dipped in
disinfecting solution each time after
caring for the patient. The nails
should be trimmed quite close and
scrubbed carefully with a nail brush,
as they form good hiding place for
germs. A solution of one one-thou-
sandth of bichloride should always be
on hand, for the nurse and the doc
tor

MANY WAYS TO DRAPE SKIRTS
innumerabIe Ideas Evolved from the
Scarf Effects That Are So
Much In Favor.

Skirts are scarf-draped In so many
different ways that the novel varia-
tions upon one fundamental idea. so
simple as a long strand of satin, silk
or lace, are positively amazing. One
of the most attractive methods of dra-
ping a soft silk sash is to start it
from just below the waistline on the
left side, securing it in position with
an enormously large and ornamental
chou, from which depends an end I'm
ished with deep fringe or long tas-
sci. The other piece crosses the front
Of the skirt slantingly to the oppo-
site side, where another chou and end
are formed. Or the scarf may be
brought from the left side down al.
most to the hem of the skirts center.
where, having been folded backward
to form point. it runs upward to the
opposite side of the waistline and
thus encircles the back of the wear
er. A simpler method of arrangement
is to swath the sash about the hips
and partially over the raised waist
line, then draw it high at the back
and knot 1t into single long loop at
one end. Such sashes. be it under
stood, are Invariably of full.width
materials, for the original ribbon form
of it is rarely seen save on quite
young girls.

has safely reached home again
through the avenues of steel that lined
his way to and from Italy, it may be
interesting to note that, while the en-
peror is generally pictured as the
tyrant of slavish subjects, it is not so
generally known that he himself is
the slave of a most INSCRIPTIONS
tyrant
This despot of despots is the little
Alexis Nicolaievitch, the heir to the
Russian throne, who is the only person
in the empire to ignore the sacredness
Of the emperor. Often when the car
is occupied by the most important
business little Alexis manages to es-
cape from the nursery and, arriving
on the scene, demands that his father
ride him on his shoulders. The car
accepts the mandate and drops affairs
Of state until his son is surfeited with
the pick-a-back pastime.
The favorites of Alexis are an old
hon-commissioned officer, Stepan by

who puts him to bed and makes him
say his prayers. These prayers are

LONG COAT DRESSES
NEWEST FAD IS ONE TO BE
WELCOMED.
AZ Charming as They Are Practical,
and IT Made Up Properly They
Are Both Becoming and
Smart.

The fall and winter season seems to
promise no end of long coats in vari-
GUS styles as a leading feature in
fashions, and the long coat dress is
one of the newest fads shown in the
shops.
Coats which are to be worn this fall
before the very cold weather comes
are made up of a fine quality of
troadcloth or twill in all sorts of at
tractive ways. Some have plaits set
IN at the side to make very full
hem about the bottom, some have a
cape effect over the shoulders and
many beautiful cloth coats are seen
with trimmings of fur cuffs and col
lars as sketched on the page to-day.
Many are lined throughout with soft
warm fud, usually squirrel, in gray or
brown, sometimes mink, and for even
ing wear plain white fur is used.
The coats are made elaborate and
plain. They may be costly or mex
pensive as one desires. but at all
events If they are made on the newest
Zines, even in the inexpensive materi-
ais, they are sure to be smart and be-
coming. Altogether these garments
are very charming and at the same
time practical and serviceable.

Leather Lined Motor Wraps.

Although not so comfortable or soft
to wear, leather as protection from
cold and wind Is every bit as effective
as fur, while combination of the two
makes motor wrap that cannot be
surpassed for late autumn and early
winter touring.
Many of the new rough ulsters and
blanket coats are lined with leather,
either soft suede or even the harsher
skins, but an excellent plan for coat for
this time of year, with its biting winds,
is is to have the leather lining a coat
itself made to button into the other
wrap when desired. The majority of
English motor coats are now made in
this way, and for both cloth and fur
the idea works out splendidly.

cular pieces of cardboard about four
inches in diameter should be cut out
and covered with silk or brocade and
edged with a fine silk cord. Cotton
wool is placed between these two
pieces, and they are then joined with
a strip of velvet about two inches in
width, and into which the pins may be
inserted. A glance at the sketch will
explain this. Some pretty little floral
designs such as suggested in the illus
tration can be worked upon the silk
before the cardboard is covered, and q
d-ess-hook is sewn on in front, on
which watch may be hung. There is
a long loop Of ribbon with a rosette
bow attached to the top of the cush-
lon, by which it may be suspended
from the post of the looking glass or
from nail in the wall.

Dishes for One or Two

AS most of our recipes in cookbooks
are made for families of five and six,
1t Is hard to find recipes for quanti-
ties small enough for two. Many reel
pes will not divide nicely so it Is well
to have few we'll worked out, and
tested, so that one may have small
amounts well served. Such dishes as
vegetables, stews and soups do not
need proportions given as judgment is
fair guide. Cakes, buildings and
other made dishes must be carefully
measured in order to have success.

much in need of the Lords blessing"
He Is perfectly cognizant of his high
position and the little czarevitch is
greatly offended if he is not saluted by
the soldiers with due honors.
What is the use of being a grand
duke if the soldiers do not salute
you?" he asks. He Is just beginning
to read and write and the first use he
made of the accomplishment was to
sign some degrees to Cossacks, as by
birth he is chief of all the Cossacks.
His overwhelming military ardor leads
him to prefer the coarse brown bread
OF the barracks to the delicate food
OF his nursery
Alexis, with his sisters, has been
spending delightful holiday at the
cars Crimean castle of Livadia, where
no word reaches them of the serious
condition of their mother or the cares
Of their father. The little grand duch-
esses, like Alexis, are not pampered.
They are healthy, charming girls, liv-
ing principally out of doors. The car,
who vigorously upholds the etiquette
ct the court, shows a peculiar demo-
cratic trait toward his children, and
by his orders they must be called by
their Christian names-their titles of
imperial highnesses can be used only
on state occasions.
The car Is very early riser. He
generally takes breakfast, consisting
Of tea, eggs and ham, at seven o'clock.
The meal is served by an English
cook, the car and cZarina both having
preference for English food. Imme-
diately after breakfast the car

Is extremely fond of cigars, quite un-

only smoked Russian cigarettes and
objected to cigar smoking among the
dignitaries of his court.
After long stroll in which he is &C.
compan1ed sometimes by his children,
the car takes lunch, which consists
OF several courses. The conversation
with the czarina and children is gen.
orally in English, as his majesty does
not like to be overheard by the serv-
ants, who speak French, but not Eng
lish. After lunch the car generally
makes an excursion by motor car, spe-
cial roads being laid down for his
use. Dinner is served at six o'clock.

Health Hints.

For the person who leads a seden-
tary life, care should be taken as to
the foods. Heat producing food is not
necessary as 1t is to the person much
in the open air. The craving for
sweets may be satisfied by figs.
prunes or candied ginger.
Simple, wholesome food, plenty of
sleep, regular habits, frequent baths
and well ventilated rooms are a good
savings bank for health.

The Dietetic Value Of Some Of Our
Foods.

me Dietotic Value Of Some Of Our
Foods.
Beets and carrots are valuable foods
as they contain a large amount of
sugar, the mineral salts of the carrot
are also of value.
Onions are valuable for their pun
gent oil, and are often prescribed for
sleeplessness; they are also good ap-
erients.
Spinach contains large quantity Of
iron and has been called the broom
of the system"
Lettuce has the same quality as on
ions, a beneficial form of opium, and
should be eaten plentifully by people
troubled with nerves."
Tomatoes are good to make active
the torpid liver.
Grape fruit has a form of quinine.
and has often been prescribed by ply
sicians as a pleasant medicine.
Fruit contains large amount Of
water, and we eat it because of that,
together with it's sweetness and fla
vor, as most fruit has little nutrttive
value. The banana is an exception, as
it may be called food. Dried fruits,
as the date, fig and raisin, have even
a higher food value than the banana.
Weight for weight, dried figs are
more nourishing than bread.
Apples, peaches, plums, melons and
grapes are Natures aperients, and
should be eaten freely by all those
who envy a good complexion.
Sour fruits, like lemons, are taken
by sufferers from rheumatism, as the
fruit acid, turning to alkali, acts upon
the uric acid.
