the habit of wearing light blouses and

SO much favor from fashion this spring
give unusual opportunity for the dress
maker to use trimming. One frock OF
pink tulle and satin has wide, flaring
sleeves that reach half way between
elbow and wrist. They are of pink so
pale that il is almost invisible against
the flesh of the arm. But along the
lower edge of the sleeves are two very

Of color there is less tendency to settle
on any few colors and to say: This

not worn" The only colors that are
not worn this season are those that
have most recently enjoyed too great
vogue. There is that shade of lemon
yellow that took such a hold on the
popular fancy last year, and one or two
other shades of that vintage that are
at present paying the penalty of too
great popularity. But aside from these

PLAY AND NERVOUSNESS
BY H. ADDINGTON BRUCE.
Copyright, 1881

It has long been a practice of doc
vousness in children, to recommend
outdoor play as an Invaluable help in
treatment. Now comes a physician, DR.
F. J. Scotsman of Holland, who makes
the same recommendation to nervous
adults.
Not only this. but DR.. Scotsman speci-
fies particular kinds of play as being
especially desirable for this or that
type Of nervousness.
when you are nervous he says, in
effect, increase your playtime allow
ance. When you are exceedingly nerv-
Gus, drop work altogether and spend
most Of your time in play. as you did in
childhood.
IF your nervousness takes the form
of a severe depression of spirits, &C
companied by mental fatigue, go to the
country.
"Take a fishing rod with you. and go
fishing every day. Or, if you prefer,
equip yourself for mountain climbing.
do not be ambitious to conquer the
highest mountains in the world. Good
sized hills will do.
Explore them thoroughly. Tramp
daily. Enjoy the scenery from the hill
tops. This will restore to you cheer
fulness and mental vigor, and send you
back in good condition for your work.
eff, however, your nervousness is of
the excitable sort, so that you find
yourself irritable and impulsive. play
games that will require you to cooper
ate closely and energetically with other
people.
Hockey is a good game for this pur-
pose. So is any kind of ball game that
involves team play. Or doubles in ten
mis-.
"Games like these will help you to
gain self-control.. At the same time
they are active enough to satisfy your
ardent nature"
In the main this is excellent advice
But it is not applicable to all nervous
patients.
Many nervous patients have never
learned to play games. Neither fishing
nor mountain climbing appeals to them
in the slightest.
They admit frankly that it would bore
them to death to have nothing to do but
walk around and look at scenery. They
affirm that they have never taken any
interest in tennis or hockey or ball
games.
In this case, change of occupation
would probably prove more beneficial
than mere play. If possible. patients of
this sort should be persuaded to take
up some occupation that will keep them
outdoors.
come farmers or gardeners or stock
breeders. I have known several cases
Of nervousness cured by a winter in a
logging camp.
The physic' l exercise and fresh air.
whether of outdoor play or outdoor
work. are themselves of curative bene-
fit. That is why it is important to keep
nervous patients in the open as much
as possible.
AS they grow physically stronger, as
the blood supply to their brain becomes
purer and richer, they will find it easier
to be cheerful than to be gloomy.
This provided they are playing or
working at something really congenial
to them Boredom is itself a potent
cause OF nervousness, and must be
aVoided oy all who would escape nerv-
BUSINESS.
Consequently every nervous individ-
ual should decide for himself-with his
doctors aid-the kind of game or d.
versional occupation he will take up
But some choice he should y,,oka
