"l Sympathlze."

In the evening at Mercy hospital you hear from all over the house the little bedtime voices, and the sound blends into something sweet and dear which hardly forms itself into words. To you who have not heard it, 1t would seem the strangest sort of music, coming from all the wards and rooms and balconies around you--on the lower floor, on the upper, and sounding up and down the stairs wherever you might be. It is just the quiet little chatter of many, many children ready for sleep, and the doctors and nurses have heard it every night for 20 years, and they wonder why it is-. with child love SC ready to respond to n call like that of little Helen Keller, the crowded wards at Mercy and yet 50 little known to those who say-'I Syrnpashize. ."--Mercy's Messenger.

Origin of the curfew.

A note by Ruskin Butterfeld re. minds us that, although Shakespeare speaks of "the curfew bell'' and Mil ton of "the far-off curfew sound" Chaucer more correctly refers to ''cor. few tyme," as curfew was originally an appliance for covering the fire. There are examples still in existence. for instance, in the Hastings (Eng.) museum; they look like large tea cosies in metal. They served, as mod erns use fireguards, to prevent sparks setting the house on fire, and the house. night and placed the curfew over them to lessen the combustion, and in the morning save the trouble of lighting the ire again.

It can be made with q square or with round neck and as it is here with shoulder straps, or cut to form re- gulation arm-holes. It is very simple garment to make, it is shapely, it flares fashionably at the lower edge, yet it fits smoothly at the body portion and over the hips. Here, it is made of white taffeta with trimming of lace and beading and it makes a very use full slip to be worn beneath dressy afternoon or evening costume. 1t can be copied in lingerie material however, or in a washable satin or in silk of any color that may suit the costume. The f]ounce is pretty and fashionable and it provides flare but if the dress to be worn over it is transparent, the trim ming on the slip should be planned to harmonize with that special costume, otherwise the lines will conflict. Little ruifles sometimes are used, bandings of lace and of ribbon and often the slip is trimmed in a way to really enhance the dress worn over it, for the yelled effect is very pretty and the outer ma terial can be left comparatively plain when the trimming is seen through its meshcs. Sometimes a lace flounce Is pretty arranged over the lower edge and sometimes a succession of narrow plaited ruffles of net will be used with ribbon as trimming and again, trim ming of ribbon is arranged on a silk foundation with or without the chiffon or ribbon flowers that are put to so many uses. The garment is a very simple and easy one to make, the closing is made invisibly at the back. For the I6 year size will be needed, 4$s yards of material 36 inches wide, 3H yards A, with 4 yards 3o inches ce banding, 4 yards of beading.
