president was himself an editor, with
II habit of writing very long articles for
his paper In Georgia, and the contcm-
porary which had made the unwelcome
statement regarding ''ls weight refused
to retract II for the reason, he said,
that "Mr. Stephens must have had one
of his editorials In his pocket when
he last tried the scales. This would
account for the difference of four
pounds between the two figures"

Possibly, the fact of first Importance

dious customer. The dressmakers are
not In such good luck. and therefore,
not In such high feather.
The casual observer, looking over
the French display. may say that
gowns have changed so little that
women need not put their hands In
their purses.
But the dressmakers and the report.
ers know that this Is not so. Paris
has changed everything sufficiently to
lure women into renewing their ward
robes. The shops should reap an
abundant harvest from this move In
Paris. The minor dressmnkers should
make n great deal of money. As to the
exceedingly high-priced dressmakers
those who begin at two hundred and
fifty dollars for n gown-they are still
nervous.

What Of the New Suits7
The American woman has revived
her interest In coat suits. She went
on one-piece frock debauch n year
ago and Is slowly recovering from It.
France turns out nm astonishing
number of gowns that nre delectable,
yet the suit Is shown more considern.

years. In America, 1t will be more
worn than In France.
The tnllors should have enough to

SEPARATE SKIRT
HAS GREAT USE

More than ever the separate skirt
has a definite mission in the well
dressed won1an's wardrobe. 1t has
been worn this winter under the
heavy coat and it is to be worn this
spring and next summer with lingerie
blouses and sweaters of silk or wool.
Separate skirts for spring will al
most all of them be made of silk.
The conservation of wool demands
that women use more silk, and when
climate conspires with patriotism the
task will not be difficult. The new
skirts are in themselves so attractive
that every woman must desire them
They are, of course, moderately scant
but there is never anything skinny
looking about them.
OF course, there is much drapery
or pleated fuIlness about the hips in
some of them. In others the hips are
well defined and such fu1lness as there
is secured by heavy pleats and some.
times by shirring or the use Of hiE
yokes. All sorts of silk are used il
the making these skirts. There are
some striped taffetas-the stripe o:
satin-that are especially attractive
They are made in heavy quality ant
not only look crisp and fresh, but will
give good wear.

and old newspapers were collected and
sold. The committee also received
permission to use the Red Cross
Christmas Seal money. We had the
gift of Ford runabout without
which the nurse would have been I'M
able to carry on her work.
After the secretary's report was read
Miss Ford gave a very detailed and
interesting report of her work here
in Fairfield. The mere figures, show
ing a total of 1914 patients, with a
sum total of LOGS visits made, 656 of
which were nursing visits, 247 instruc-
tive visits, and 165 business calls
which include school visits and sani-
:ary inspection, hardly give any pic
ture of the work or it's value to the
community. Rural Public Health
Nursing as it has developed in Fair
field, Miss Ford stated, embraces
!. three main branches. namely, bedside
nursing, school nursing and infant
welfare. The bedside nursing extends
from the families of the very poor to
those of the more well-to-do people
where only a, simple dressing needs to
be fixed. Through sickness the nurse
is introduced into many homes whose
doors would otherwise be closed.
Coming as a nurse to comfort or cure
she is soon able to be called a
friend and with her chief interest as
preventive nursing she has an oppor-
| tunity to teach and demonstrate the
principles of health that she would
not have otherwise. The Importance
| of school work cannot be Over-esti-
mated. The nurse is constantly on
the lookout for adenoids and diseased
tonsils, for cases of defective vision,
hearing, bad teeth, etc. 1t is bis
opportunity to upbuild the next gem
Grafton by vitalizing hygiene for boys
and girls. The absence of a free elm
ic makes considerably more trouble
for the nurse, however physicians
both here and in Bridgeport, have
been most kind in volunteering sup
port or advice. In the Infant Wei
fare work, so important to the future
i of our community, the nurse comes
against very acute ignorance many
| times and it is often difficult to teach
the mothers anything when they can
not even speak English. The tuber-
culosis problem, Miss Ford finds to be
great in our community. A great
fault is that no record is made of the
cases and therefore no proper care OF
precaution can be rendered. In con-
clusion, Miss Ford summarized heI
work by stating the two Fundamental,
principles in social nursing, namely
that the unit for consideration is the
family and that the family is to be
studied from all angles, health, en-
p1oyment, education, recreation an6
spiritual life.

desk one can find out anything, I be-
lieve, from where to get a pin to
where a room may be found for my
sister and a friend who are coming
for Sunday. Ma small matter in
place like Aver, but one is always
found. And an amazing lot of people
come thee camp who haven't the
slightest idea of where to find the
one they may have come miles to see;
were it not for the Hostess house the
Y. M. C. A. and the Knights of Co.
lumbus they would probably go back
again without seeing them. 1t is q
big city to find a man with no address.
The other day woman with a
small child came in. Things had not
gone just right at home and her hus
band had left, then he was drafted
and she came to find him. Miss Up
ham (the emergency secretary and
Bridgeport's Y. w. c. A. Industrial
Secretary for several years. set right
out to discover his whereabouts and
soon succeeded. A reconciliation
took place, a lasting one, it seems,
from the jay in their faces. He spent
every spare minute he had with them
as long as they stayed.
Another women with two small
children. The mother was much too
! sick to make the trip, but she was a
foreigner and did not understand
where they had taken her husband
and was determined to follow him.
They were almost starved as they
had had little since the father left.
With the aid of an interpreter, Miss
Upham got the story, found the hus-
band, and kept the mother and child
until his release was secured, for it
was one of those many pitiable cases
where exemption should have been
given and was not.
And so every day the camps
friends at Hostess house are able to
give a helping hand and make some
| hard road easier. Give them your
! help in every way possible. If you &c
| to Aver hes ure to visit the Hostess
house and show your interest in
| their work. Speak of it to the men
you know at Camp Devens, for they
will always find a welcome there and
| it may help them through some long
lonely evenings. And never fail tc
give it and all the Y. W. c. A. wal
work your financial support for you
will receive from it some Of the larg.
est dividends in service rendered
which any one can wish.
