It seems almost beyond belief that attractive negligees may be fashioned out of three yards of net, yet you can convert this amount into one,- and without cutting the lace. Run a hem up it's two ends and a gathering of thread along its top, turning in the upper edge to make a little puff and rnassing most of the fullness at the center back. Sew some tiny chiffon roses, ripped from discarded dance frock, along the gathers which form ed the neck of a lace cape.
 A bow of pink ribbon is placed at the top of the full lace folds at the back of the cape below the waist completely covering the arms to the elbows. and the little negligee was just the thing to slip on to go to the telephone or to wear to the bath room.
 The newest bedroom pillows are made of cretbnne. either to match the hangings, or if one prefers, in a pleas ing contrast The pillows should be covered. Cut two squares twenty inches and join the top and bottom with a three strip of the goods. Then cover the cushions with the cretonne, top. bottom and four sides, all of the seams being on the outside. Bond all the seams with tape and finish with tassels at the corners.

Prussian Professor Peeved.

The number of women entering Ger man universities increased from 3,693 to 6,527 last winter. The number at the University of Berlin alone grew from $50 to 1922 Professor von Wilamowitz- -Mollendorf of the Univer- sity of Berlin, and his colleagues, do not like thls development and he had no hesitation about speaking energeti- cally and sarcastically about it in the Prussian parliament. It seems that all though the Berlin professors still be- gin their lectures with "Gentlemen," their hearers are almost exclusively women. The speech in question was an argument for lowering the univer- sity standards for men while using the utmost severity towards women who wish to learn. Wilamowitz sarcasti- cally observed that the universities have been turned into girls schools and that very considerable number of the women in attendance were noth- ing but little girls in short frOcks. These girls get into the university by reason of certificates which, Wilamo- witz says, have no value whatever. Ee adds that the result is to reduce the Berlin professors to the grade and du- ties of fourth-form masters in the sec ondary schools.

CARING FOR PATIENTS

Little patients can be very trying to the home nurse. They are not old enough to realize the importance of keeping warm, taking their medicine and doing, otherwise, as rney arc told. They require constant watch ing, too, for many a dangerous illness has resulted from a chill caught dur ing convalescence after one of the most ordinary childish ailments.
 In caring for children the nurse needs the utmost patience and tact. She must be gentle, though firm, with her little charge, being able to make him realize that she is in absolute charge of the sickroom, and that in all things her word is law.
 Children's ailments are always a worry. You never know what the most simple cold is liable to lead to and a great deal of the anxiety con- nected with the rearing of children, is the real difficulty experienced at times in being able to discriminate between the various symptoms. A clinical thermometer should always be kept in the sick room. and if the child shows the least signs of not being

DISAPPOINTMENT OF LEAGUE
 IS DEATH OF LEAGUE

The proposal to postpone the for nation of the League is a proposal to kill the project fortnight. That Senator Lodge understands very we'll. So does Senator Knox. And so sure is he of the bearing of his proposals that he actually offers an alternative solution--a Monroe Doctrine of the world" Let America announce that eff a situation should arise in which any Power or combination of Powers should directly or indirectly menace the freedom and peace of Europe, the United States would regard the situation with grave concern as a menace to it's own freedom and peace, and would consult with other Powers affected with a view to con- Ncerted action for the removal of such menace"
 Hinder such a doctrine the United States would have proclaimed her right to involve herself in any Euro pean quarrel that might arise. Europe will be repelte with quarrels if Lodge and Knox have their way. And Amer ica would have her hand in every one of them, fighting constantly for causes she did not help to shape She ewould have taken the role for nlerly occupied by England of arbiter of European quarrels, partisan in ob- sclIre strifes leading to obscUTer ends That is no peace for America nor for the world, But peace is exactly the state against which the imperialists of America and Europe are waging war

THE BIBLE IN MESoP0TAMlA
One Lives Its Story There ard Doeo Not Doubt Its Truth, Remarks
 a VIsItor.

To add a touch Of completeness to the Sabbath-like calm which prevailed on the ship I read the Bible. Becom- ing intensely interested, tried to read 1t through In 24 hours. This cannot be done. Incidentally, had some diff hculty in finding one. It Is sign of the times, I am afraid, that one never gets Bible any more as a going-away present when one starts off on a long journey. Though l might better say, perhaps, that 1t was sign of unintelli- gence on my part that did not think to carry with me one of several that were bestowed upon me in godller days.

I was on my way to the land of the two rivers; the land of the Gar den of Eden, of the Cradle of the World" It Is the land not only of Adam and Eve and Cain and Abel, but the land as well of Noah and Fa- ther Abraham the land of Babylonia, where Daniel dwelt in captivity with the children of Israel and was deliv- cred from the den of Hons.

Then l had to read the prophets, and having pondered over their prophecies, l was tempted to re- examine the fulfilment of them. And afterward I was very glad I did. It refreshed my memory of many things l had thought little about since the days of my youth.
 In MesOpotamia you live the story of the Bible and you do not wonder in the least if it is true; you know 1t is. You become as definitely Hcquaint. ed with Daniel and Ezra; yes, and with Adam and Eve and Cain and | Abel and Noah and Abraham and i Hagar and Ishmael-especially Hagar | and Ishmael-and a thousand others, as though they were alive today. And in way they are.

WOMEN LED IN
 FOOD CONSERVATION
Food Administrator Scoville Pays Tribute to Connecticut
 Housewives.

Without the assistance of the worn- en of the United States and the splen- did way in which they put through their food saving campaign last year, Germany would have been the winner in the great world war according to a statement made by Federal Food Administrator Robert Scoville, prais ing the patriotic efforts of Connec- ticut housewives. It is known that last spring the Allies with barely weeks supply of necessary foodstuffs ahead of them were on the point of yielding to Germany'S terms. Mir. Hoover not knowing where the food stuffs were coming from, promptly replied to the European cablegrams of distress that America was sending the necessary supplies.
 "Without the food we sent to Eu- rope the Allies could not have kept on fighting" said Mir. Scoville. And what We sent was saved by the wom- en of this country, slice by slice, spoonful by spoonful, and cupful by cupful in the kitchens and at the tables of the homes.
 Much was saved by the regulations
 
 in public eating places, of course, but the ma ajority of the people eat at home, and it was in the homes un- der the faithful and skillful manage ment of the women that the flour and beef and pork and sugar were saved, the bulk of what was needed by the Allies to keep them alive and well and in fighting trim.
 Now the women have a bigger task and heavier responsibility, for not only must the Allies be sent the million tons of food which was pledg- ed last September but liberated na- tions of Europe must he fed as well. The Russians, the Poles, the Armen- ians, the Serbians, the Rumanians, the Czecho-SIavs, and the Jugo-Slavs are looking to this country In their misery and famine for aid, and Amer ica must answer their appeal.
 "As it was the women last year who were largely responsible for the food saving which prevented col lapse in the morale of the Allies, so it will be the women now who must urge that conservation in their households be continued despite the fact that the war is over And the Food Admin istration has supreme confidence that they will see that Americas food pledge of twenty million tons is kept, and that the starving nations of Flu rope do not want for food"

ResourcefuI and Brave Cook.

That cook should perform an act of the utmost daring in the pursuit of his occupation as purveyor of food seems almost Incredible. Yet that Is what was done by William B. Gray, third class ships cook in the United States naval reserve. During the cold wealth CT of last winter the Roanoke marshes in North Carolina were frozen and boats were unable to reach the keeper of a lighthouse, who was consequently in danger of starvation. Gray made sled by putting runners upon life boat, loaded it with food and hauled it across the ice, which was broken and tossed by strong and dangerous cur rents, to the lighthouse, thus saving the keepers life and enabling him to continue at his post of duty. Gray is native of North Carolina.

It Is interesting to note In these pictures the monument to the family Waller in the Church of SS. John and Paul In Venice. It Is luxurious work made of different precious marbles during the seventeenth century. The three central statues represent the two doges of the family and of the wife of one of them in pompous clothes and exaggerated attitudes. A large drapery forms the background of the scene and Is carved in a precious yellow marble, inlaid with special pat terms supported by cuplds, while the immense columns are in African mar ble. ..A
 The whole work shows the sumptu. ousness of that period of the republic which was at the summit of It's glory and richness, but had lost forever the simplicity of customs and the faith and modesty which characterized the past centuries.
