are certain things sick person can not have, such as starch and sugar or eggs. and it seems as though these things were necessary in every dish one can think of.
 There are three ways out of this di- lemma; the first is too often taken by the inexperienced amateur nurse It Is. find out what he can have, and give 1t to him. Can he have milk toast Then milk toast 1t is, day in and day out. Are eggs suggested? They are served at each meal till the patient prefers an easy death to more of them.
 The second way is better. It is to ask the doctor to write out a diet list to be observed and keep it pinned up in the kitchen. It will tell just what one can have under such and such circumstances, suggesting dish after dish which one could never have re- membered by ones self. If starch is forbidden, here are dishes without it: or, if meat is prohibited, here are meat less menus. n
 The third way is to get a book of fnvalid's cookery and study it as the nurses do at training school If one has time for that the patient will have perpetual feast.

is a pretty, tempting tray for meals, with china never seen at any other time. Somehow coffee always seems different from little pot rather than poured from the stalwart silver one used by the family in general and a hot dish under cover of it's own is much more interesting than the very same delicacy on an ordinary plate with bowl reversed to keep it warm. the large china shops, for they are filled with the most charming break fast and invalid trays. The most elaborate has tea, coffee and choco- late pot, each with a cup and saucer to match; covered dish, a toast rack an egg cup, a plate, and salt and pepper Shakers-all in gold and white. The soup set is good-sized covered bowl with a plate for crackers, and salt and pepper shakers. Besides these two are coffee sets with or without the covered dish, and sets for tea alone. With each comes a tray of light wood painted white, with two handles One can buy the tray by itself and stock it with china to suit the individual needs and purse.
 The comfort such an outfit can be the busy housekeeper alone knows With it on the shelf she no longer has to hunt for the small teapot, only to find 1t has mysterious1y disappeared All she has to do is to heat the lovely invalid dishes, put the small snowy napkin on the tray and arrange the meal. and the effect would give the worst dyspeptic a digestion

A special feature of the kitchen is a ledge built against one wall, and filled in beneath with cupboards and drawers. The top can be used as a table. A flight of steps leads from the kitchen to landing on the stair way, so that the maid can reach the second floor without passing through the living room. The outside entrance ! to the kitchen is reached by a flight ! of three steps leading down to a land- ing.

cred when the family is away. The roof is stained soft green, and the shingles on the side walls are stained a light brown. The window frames and cornice are painted white. The chimneys are of red brick.
 This house had practically no plan; the only thing that was decided upon before the work of construction began was its exterior dimensions. Nothing was worked out beforehand on paper; the plans were worked out in the house in actual construction. The discovery of defects should come during the time of building, not during the first weeks of occupancy. With this end in view he lived much of his time in the house during the process of construc- tion. Partitions were put up only to be torn down if their arrangement proved unsatisfactory. If, on actual experiment, a wall needed more win dows 1t was cut through and the win dows put in where they seemed needed.
 In the interior the same tactics were followed Books on house decoration were read in search of ideas, and each piece of built-in furniture was care fully studied with a view to strength, beauty and utility. AS in the case of the house plans, no drawings were put on paper, but ideas were worked out in actual construction.

contractor. 1t was carefully selected for its beauty of color and it's. pleasing irregularfty of surface, and was ob- tained at a much lower price than is usually paid for new brick possessing similar variety of tone and color. On either side of the fireplace is built-in seat. Solid oak pillars supporting a
 beam make a slight division in the
 center of the room.
 The furniture of the living room is
 in brown fumed oak. An open book case was specially made to occupy a particular wall space. The chairs are of mission design. One of them, a large
 armchair, of spindle construction, re-
 peats the lines of the stairway Under
 heath the high window near the stair
 way is an old oak table, and there is another table whose construction is copied from an old mission piece. A large leather covered settle faces the fireplace.
 The walls of the living room are papered in a soft green, the ceiling be- ing tinted an ivory tone. The bricks of the fireplace shade from dark red into bluish gray tones Bits of blue pottery and of old Russian brass and copper give a few vigorous color ac- cents.

heat cup of milk or broth, and in the daytime one can scramble an egg and serve it piping hot, to the amuse- ment of the invalid With a child this dish is an unfailing source of joy and comfort Then there is the little refrigerator. In a city house where the patient is on the third floor for the sake of quiet and the ice is in the basement, there are endless trips up and downstairs day and night, and the cost in wear and tear is greater than the cost of the refrigerator. It should not stand in the sick room, but out in the hall. Besides the ice itself, it will easily hold day or a nights supply or milk, eggs, soup, custards and
 jellies. =
 If one cannotSlave this, however. the next best thing is a 1arge-sized red flannel cozy, lined with asbestos; this slips on tightly over pitcher of crack ed ice and keeps it from melting for ten hours; with a fever patient this is a valuable help. Of course the cozv Keeps hot things hot quite as we'll as it keeps cold things cold, so it serves a double purpose
 One more useful thing for the con valescent's comfort is the individual ice cream freezer. Pure ice cream is greatly favored by doctors as palatably conveying large amount of nourish- ment. The little freezer which holds pint, or a still smaller size, costs but dollar, and takes little ice With 1t one can make a dish of ice cream in only a few moments; and experience proves that nothing is better liked by a patient.
 Last of all there is to be considered the vital question of food, and this requires constant study. Usually there

THE CONVALESCENT

" HE time of peace is the time to
 prepare for war, and by the same
 U token the day of health is the
 day to get ready for sickness. The shops seem to have taken this fact to heart, for never before were the windows so full of attractive things for invalids, from the large and seri- ous things, like rolling chairs, to the little comforts, such as rubber cushions and the like.
 There are tables, for one thing. The very best is a white iron one nwith a foot which turns directly under the bed, so that it cannot possibly trip up the nurse, and a top which can be raised or lowered by a screw, which turns at any angle. This top, which is about a foot and a half by two feet, does not rest on the bed at all and so it always level, and since it can be raised or lowered, it accommodates itself to the position of the patient; if he is lying down flat, it can be brought directly over his chest, and if he is propped up with pillows, 1t lies across his lap.
 The next best thing to this is a table with short legs. If the clothes are spread smooth before it is put on the bed, the table should stand quite firm; otherwise there is always the danger that 1t will slightly tip. One can be easily prepared at home by shortening When not in use, it can be set against the wall. Even if one has the more substantial table, this homemade sub- stitute is excellent for a convaIescent child, as heG can push it about the bed and on it cut paper dolls, or paint pictures
 But the chief thing an invalid enjoys

and worry him, the sooner he is sent to kindergarten the better. He cannot possibly grow and wax strong" and develop steady, strong nervous sys- tenn under such home surroundings. If the system of training in the lower
 grades of our schools were so planned that they would furnish plenty of time
 for play in the open air, and thus pro-
 noted healthy growth of devlopment,
 the average child would be better off at school than at home after he is seven years of age. But, unfortunately, the lower grades in most of our schools hinder growth rather than promote it. Between a home whose educational efficiency has been hampered or crip- pied by modern civilization and culture and the school which will make of the child disembodied spirit and aIto- gether neglect his physical well-being throughout the lower grades, the chill dren of the rising generation are badly situated.
 Much depends on the individual child
 as we'll as the school and home. The ''only'' child will be better off at school than at home, even in early childhood.
 He must learn in childhood to live com fortably with his mates and to form
 friendships, for this art will soon be-
 come impossible for him.
 The nervous child will be better off
 at home until nine or ten years old if
 the home conditions favor growth and development of steady nerves. Other
 wise, he had probably better go to
 school. The best place for him would
 be a New England hill farm with wise and cheery grandparents.
 The conclusion of the whole matter seems to be that the chief business of the child is to grow. The center of education is in his muscle and not in his brain. Pulmonary and digestive capacity is far more inportant than
 mental capacity.
 Whether a child should be sent to school or remain Fat home depends,
 then, upon whether his home or the
 school can best promote these inesti- mable virtues.

How Old Should a Child
 Be Before 1t is Sent?
By Professor John Mason Tyler

TT DEFENDS The natural school is
 the home. Growth is the first busi-
 ness of the child, and in the home he ought to grow best. He ought to live in an atmosphere of hopefulness, cheer, courage, kindliness, courtesy and refinement. He must absorb these un- til they become a part of him. And only the mother, herself. can furnish these.
 The school is a human, artificial device to make good the deficiencies of home and surroundings. When every child was brought up in large family on an old-fashioned farm the sole re- sponsibility of the school was textbook learning. The home furnished nature study, physical and manual training, morals and religion. Open air and the spur of necessity did the rest
 If people lived under such conditions to-day, the child, until he were ten or eleven years old, would be better off at home. If the child lives in a city fiat or in house with a yard as big IS a pccket-handkerchief, with an irritable father, a tired. nervous mother and an army of nurses and governesses to vex
