REPORT OF VISITING
 NURSES ASSOCIATION

. The work of the Visiting Nurse As soclatlon always reflects the amount of sickness that is in the city. Dur ing the month of October there was an increase over the month of Sep tember of some 40 more new patients who were referred to the association for care. This means that the month of October, as far as our work was concerned, was about the same as that of last year, while September showed an astonishing decrease over last year. This decrease was undoubt- edly due to the unusually fine autumn weather which made the number of respiratory diseases quite low Dur ing October the " N. A. cared for 5S4 patients and 2,895 babies.
 At the Health Stations during the month of October there was an aver age attendance of over 20 at each opening of the station. They are open from two to four o'clock on Mondays and Thursday at the Wal tersville school, Wednesdays at the Prospect school, and Fridays at the Jackson school At the Health Sta tons the doctor examines the baby, giving a thorough physical nina tion once year. The baby is weighed and measured and all of it's habits are discussed so that the mother can take care of the child and help it to avoid all of the illnesses which come frorl not understanding the needs of the baby.

day which falls on Christmas. My parents do not like the idea of his not giving me more. It is now three years since I have known him, but l do not know whether he cares for me. I've spoken to him about it and he says that if he didn't care for me he would not be seeing me My father has asked him whether he has any intentions and he said that he had, but that he didn't intend to get married for two or three years. He doesn't care to be engaged as yet, either I am not anxious to be en- gaged or married as yet, either, but, s ill my people say he should treat me much better than he does and they make life misera ble for me-. He is 20. I am IS. What shall I do?
 R.
 Since you are not engaged it would be in very bad taste for this boy to shower you with presents. At his age he ought not 10 be bound down by an engagement. If you were to stop nagging at him, naturally your deep friendship would develop into som mething more. But trying to force matters will only destroy them en- tirely. Your people are not acting wisely. He would not seek you oue all the time if he did not care for you. But if you haven't a bit more poise and common sense- my dear.

ADVICE TO THE LOVELORN
 Rx Rootr;or. EyoS-S.-
FIANCEE WHO IS NO FTANCEE..
By Beatrice Fairfax

Gear Miss Fairfax:
 I am engaged to be married to a young lady, have known her for about a year, being engaged for d month or so.
 She has a number of men friends whom she meets occasionally. Being an orphan and alone in her home, she received a visit from one Of her formed me of this, and, although [ sincerely believe that her conduct in having other men call on her is not quite right, yet wish to be tolerant and therefore I informed her that it was her duty to inform the other men of our status and to let me meet these other men-that is, if she in- tended to preserve their friendship. This, ia my humble opinion, moder- ate request, was denied.
 The other day, while she and I had spent an afternoon outdoors, one of her men friends called at her hone, was received by neighbors and de- cided to await her return.
 When she was informed of the presence of her friend" I, the so- called fance, was expected to leave. as it would "embarrass my fiancee's course, could not think of it, but stayed and thus met my f1ancee's friend. Since then things have become unbearable, my fancee tells me that I am uncharitabel, narrow : minded an dwhat not.
 She is twenty-seven, I am thirty four. We both should claim pos session of common sense My fiancee insists she is right in this matter, but I don't agree with her; and judging my married future from my "engaged' past, I cannot See happiness in store for me, as I fail to understand how my f1ancee and later my wife should be permitted to have men friends whom I don't know and not be supposed to know; and, further, why my fiancee should place mere men friends above fance or husband. A MERE MAN.
 This conduct is inexcusab1e. I believe with all my heart in the free doom of the ind1vidua1-but not when it is gained at somebody e1se's cost, nor yet when it is unfair and against all tradition and common sense. Your fiancee should tell all the other men of her acquaintance of her engagement. Those men whu are good enough friends to meet you and go on being friends should stay i'll her 1ife-the others should go. Her conduct in the instance you cite iwaa | in extremely bad taste. Either take a stand and hold her to it-or, bas l ing your decision on your lack oi faith, break what scarcely seems like an engagement.

HOW TO TREAT
 YOUR MANTEL

To sum up briefly the art of man tel decoration: Begin by studying the mantel itself, nothing its size, pro portions, color, texture, and Structur- al details Then decide, not how many, bt huow few ornaments will. dress it harmoniousiy. Next make your selection, carefully choosing ob- jectS which will harmonize with one another and with the mantel-piece in scale, form, and color and: finally arrange these in such d manner as to produce an effect of perfect balance.
 The observance of these few and simple rules is by no means difficult and will make all the difference be- tween a genuine artistic and digni- fled composition, and a meaninglesS hodge-podge unworthy of the inn portant office it fulfills.
