THE TRAINED NURSE.

FllE trained nurse is ministering
Z angel who is hired to let other
people sleep.
There are two people who have
proven that the world would be bet
ter off if sleep had never been invent
ed. One of them is Thomas A. Edison
and the other is the bright-eyed train
ed nurse who can sit up all night for
IA week and look as fresh as a plate
of homegrown lettuce. Mr.. Edison
has not used any sleep to speak OF in
his business for years, and his close
friends and associates say that when
he feels any coming his way he holds
his head under the cold water faucet
until the attack passes.
When nervous, high-strung busi-
ness man comes down with an ulcer
ated tooth which hangs on like one
armed man at n club dance he refuses
to allow any sleep to enter the house,
thus making ii necessary to engage n
trained nurse who is accustomed to
sit bolt upright for weeks at stretch
without uttering blink of any kind
There is nothing more soothing than
the entrance of graduate nurse and

"BREST" NEW SPRING COLOR
Pale Yellow, Sort of Mud Shade, Added
to List for Coming
Season.

In the lineup of fabrics and colors
that are being shown for spring, and
that are of course being adopted now
by many, a pale yellow featured by
one of the foremost designers of
blouses has been christened "Brest."
1t is supposed to be sort of mud
color, but to call it simply mud color
does not at all describe it or do jus
tice to its charm.
1t Is not a bit too early to begin
to think about spring clothes. That
alluring season has way of put
ting in an appearance shortly after
the first of the year, sartorially
speaking. 1t Is interesting to note
that for tailored frocks for street
wear wool plaids are to have quite
a vogue, If the models shown by
style designers may be taken as an
indication. Scotch plaid worsteds
are skillfully combined with plain
color wool fabrics and frocks en-
tirely of plaid are not at all uncom-
mon.
Taffeta, as usual. will be fabric
leader One charming advance spring
model shows simple surplice waist
of navy taffeta with the taffeta
skirt covered all over with Chinese
embroidery. The embroidery is done
in tan and kings blue.
On both tailored suits and tailored
wool fabric frocks for spring some Of
the style authorities are featuring n
clever arrangement of pin tucks. These
are used in novel ways. Bands made
of the tucking are applied to skirts
and also used as inset panels, etc,
and wide, flaring cuffs, sometimes ell
how length. of self-fabric. pin tucked
are shown on tailored suits.

What They Mean
DID YOU DREAM OF LACK OF
CLOTHING?

WHAT is called one of the "stand.
w ard" dreams, one which is most
annoying and one which everybody al
most, has experienced at least once in
his life, some people many times, is
the dream of finding oneself in
thrOnged street or in room filed
with people and suddenly realizing
that one is only partially clothed or
not clothed at all. In these dreams
the people with whom we find ourself
do not appear to take any notice of
our unconventional condition, but the
dreamer is much disturbed and en-
received particular attention from
those scientists who for more than
half century have been investigating
the phenomena of dreams re-
garded as purely mental Cor more ac-
curately psychic), or as physical mani
feStations. The dream in question is
said to be the basis of Hans Chris
tian Andersens story, "The Emper-
or's New Clothes" and has been done
into poetry by the German author,
Fulda, in "The Talsman" 1t is
called by the scientists standard
or typical" dream because it is one
which is experienced by all persons
in an identical or almost identical
manner; whereas most of our dreams
are peculiar to ourselves.
The empires, those who interpret
dreams in the old, superstitious. tradi-
tional mystic and unscientific manner
al
tion to be bad omen. though they do
not all agree just how bad. They
say 1t signifies that people are con-
spring against you; that you are soon
to receive an insult; you will be dis.
appointed in your friends and rela.
tives and it is warning to you to
mend your ways.
Those scientists who strive to ac.
count for dreams by referring them to
physical source say that this dream
is simply the result of sensations
caused by the bedclothes slipping off
But that does not hold for we fire.
quently have the dream when covered
up warm.
Professor Freud. the latest and the
most celebrated of Investigators OF
dream sources, says in his book, 1.-The
Interpretation Of Dreams" that the
dream is based upon recollection of
our earliest childhood. When we were
babies we were seen with indifference
by relatives, strangers and servants
scantily dressed and were not
ashamed. These recollections of baby
hood, imprisoned dormant and unrc.
callable in our waking hours, are
liberated to us I'm the dream state
Our feeling of uneasiness and desire
to escape though no one notices
our nudity, is reflex from the
repression" of our later lives during
which the habit Of being properly
clothed in public has become part Of
our normal existence.

PHILOSOPHY.

It's all worth while, he used to say
When difficulties lined his way.
I've never known n trouble vet
| wasn't glad that l had met
The minute l had seen it through.
Because it proved what could do.
I've feared it, looking straight ahead,
I've had my share of doubt and
dread
And vet, when 1t was over,
Looked backwards with laughing
eye
And 10 myself I'd always say:
You'll boast about that task some day.
I've never known n man so great
That didn't hunger to relate
The hardships and the cares he'd
known
Before success was his to own.
The hunger that had made him whine
Had also helped to make him fine.
The failures that had tried his soul
And seemed barrier to his goal
Had changed their bitterness for
sweet
And now are memories to repeat.
Mans greatest joy beneath the sun
Is TO recall what he has DONE
Today / laugh Mt yesterday
And all the cares that came nv way,
The past Is only grim to those
VINO left their courage with its woes.
who plods along new joys to win
Looks back mt trouble with n grin,
And bonstfully at times repeats
The misery of his defeats.
He tells his hardships with a smile
And holds that they were all worth
while.
For all the secret Joys that last
Spring from the hardshps of the past
So Into every round Of care
And every battle with despair
1 plunge, remembering the fun
That 1t will mean when am done.
What hurts me now will some day be
A very pleasant memory.
And laughingly I may recall
In future years the present fall.
What seems today fearful test
May be tomorrow's source Of Jest,
And all that calls for courage stout,
Some dny I'll proudly boast about.

Cabbage Salad De Luxe.

Shred tender crisp cabbage very
fine; add shredded coconut and shred
ded blanched almonds. Add Il mayon-
naise to which has been added plenty
of whipped cream. Garnish the salad
with slivers of fresh green pepper.
Take the tender tops of sprouted
turnlps, dress with French dressing
and serve as salad. This will be
something new and very good. One
may spread the turnips out near the

may be cut from time to time, keeping

Rice With Prunes and Bananas

Take well-cooked rice, mold in small
cups or moldS and around each place
alternate pieces of cooked prunes and
sliced bananas. Sprinkle lightly with
sugar and cover with whipped cream.
The addition of a bit of lemon juice
with bit of the grated rind of the
fruit itself is rather flavorless. Orange
juice with bit of the grated rind OF
the fruit may be used also.
Rice is also very nice served with
fig sauce. Take one cupful of figs
stew in two cupfuls of water and a
tablespoonful of sugar until they are
very tender, add teaspoonful of
lemon juice and serve tablespoonful
of the sauce with each helping of the
rice.

Some hold great deal more of good.
some hold a great deal of less.
The hours when the day is old, and

Are feeble, tott'ring hours and they
creep instead of fly.
The noontime hour is tagging some,
and goes on weary feet
The morning hours are the ones that

The morning-when you're full of pep,
the whole big day ahead!
The terrors of the night are gone, dis

BLESSINGS MORE
THAN MATERIAL

In other times Thanksgiving edi-
torial was motley Of statistics and
boastfulness. We had grown so many
million bushels OF grain; our cattle
on the thousand hills had increased so
many hundredfold; our clearinghouse
statistics had never been surpassed
our per capita wealth was the great
est in the world; indeed, our thank
fulness was lost In the Qualification Of
the gift. We were like the people Of
whom the Prophet Habakkuk spake,
who had caught much fish In their
nets and gathered them In their drags,
therefore they sacrifice unto their
net. and burn incense unto their drag;
because by them their portion Is fat,
and their meat plenteous." or grati-
tude to Oliver, of thankful recogni-
tion Of forces which We did not Gre
ate, but without whose cooperation
we should have been as nothing, there
was less than ought TO have been.
All this was due, Of course, not so
much to human ingratltude as to hui
man thoughtlessness. To Thank Is to
Think. The farther back We think,
the farther back we thank. IL our
thought ceases with our own contribu-
ton TO our welfare our thanks cease
with ourselves. If our appraisal stops
with our material increase, our thanks
become material and insensibly
change into Boosting. We sacrifice
unto our great Industries and burn in
cense unto our skill, and there our
homage rests.
But I'm this Thanksgiving day we
have such incentive to thought as the
world has never seen before, and the
blessings whichs-challenge US are such
as do not lend themselves TO material
appraisal. The chief blessings of the
day are spiritual; their very names
put them a world apart from the
things which are quoted on the mar
ket or measured in the scales of ply
steal worth. Justice, Righteousness
and Peace. these are the exalted val
ues In which we feel our true riches to
be, and for these the entire race of
men, whether they keep Thanksgiv-
ing today or not. are most devoutly
MISUNDERSTANDING.
