ways ravenously hungry.
There's no danger about their
eyes," she hazarded one morning as
the nurse started upstairs with a
tray of nourishment.
I'm taking care of their eyes.
They have them bathed often. usually
when they have their gargles and
mouth wash. And the windows are
so nicely shaded with those dark
green shades, and. of course. we turn
light hurting their eyes. And they
are not like grown-ups. always
wanting to read or to glance over
the morning paper"
Laughter in SickrOOm.
And through the business of the
morning sponge baths upstairs Mrs.
Englesea. sitting on the stairs below
knitting and hoping the nurse would
want something SO she would have
an excuse to help take care of her
boys, would hear gurgles of laugh
ter over the stories that went with
the baths-the bear stories and the
stories about small boys who were
Boy Scouts, and all the rest of it
"And that nurse never had the
coming to call and talk things over
when the boys were better and the
nurse had departed.
Indeed, she had not. Except for
the little while the children were
having their baths each day" And
Mrs Englesea smiled across her
knitting and the three small heads
clustered about her knee.
"WeIl. if that don't beat all! It's
a miracle they didn't have chill.
Such tangled goinss on" began
Mrs. Hope, but something in the way

\ Convalescence That Was Fun.

Mrs. Englesea ciutched at the
stair railing when the doctor SAID
| Measles" Tor her three small boys
! were i'll and her husband had just
gone east on long business rip,
| which meant that she and her three
sick children were alone in the big
house on the edge Of the village.
And the snow had been falling for
week In fact. it had started that
very day to drift. This meant that
three-day blizzard might even then be
in the offing. 1t was not happy
prospect, for, like every other person
in Il small town, Mrs. EnglcSea had
few chickens in her little white chick
en- house, and while it was fun for
the small boys to tumble through the
snow and feed the chickens twice a
day, it was entirely different for their
mother.
There was, too, the furnace. A man
was supposed TO empty the ashes and
look i'm several times a week about
wood for the fireplace and the kitchen
stove. But if the BLIZZARD materialiZed!
Altogether, it was a desperate Situa-
tion: or SO it seemed. until the doctor
suggested a nurse, and as Mrs. EnSle
sea said after the nurse arrived: Il
don't think I'll ever be afraid when
there is sickness in the house again.
You make a regular party out of it,"
Got Small Boys Viewpoint.
To which the nurse said. seriously:
Il don't. really. It's simply Il case
of anticipation and being ready for
emergencies that never happen; and
common sense, of course, and trying
to imagine that you are i'll yourself.
Then you get the small boys point of
view. as it were, and it all works
out"
There is no gloom or depression in
the house at all. In fact, more than
once peals of laughter from the rooms
upstairs made Mrs. Englesea smile as
she made Cruel or broth, or measured
milk into three glasses for the boys
who were getting better and were al

Hats On and Off.

Some forty or fifty years ago it
was regarded the smart thing-for it
was a newly established custom
for women to remove their hats and
shawls when they called upon any
one with whom they were at all well
acquainted. It was customary for the
mistress of the house to assist her
callers to remove their wraps, and,
speaking Of this custom, an old eti-
quette book of the period says, AN
armchair or piece Of furniture at distant
part of the room should receive these
articles
Nowadays. of course. woman
does not remove her hat or anything,
save possibly a heavy outer coat
when making a call. For a tea a
woman does not remove her hat un-
with the hostess and is especially
asked to wear no hat. Young girls
who are asked to ..foat'-that is, to
mingle with the guests and see that
they are provided with refreshments
almost always go bareheaded
Those asked 10 pour usually wear
hats, though II the hostess requests
the "pourers" to remove their hats,
they ought to be- willing 10 do So
At a formal luncheon the guests do
not remove their hats. but if invited
to take lunch -on informally with 4
friend in her own house il is usual
to remove the hat. When dining in a
private house one never wears Il hat.
nor is the hat part of the extremely
formal evening dress for women
when dining at hotel. That is.
when the men wear evening clothes
and the women go in low necks they
do not usually wear hats in this coun-
try. In France hats are worn in pub
Tic places with evening clothes, but in
England and in this country now this
is not the custom. In England a
woman who did so might be regarded
as denimondaine.
Needless 10 say. woman does not
remove her hat In church. but she
does always remove il at the thcater
unless she occupies the last seats or
back seats in box where it cannot
possibly disturb any one. If she is
dressed in evening clothes for the
theater she usually goes to the thea
ter with merely an evening scarf
over her head. In some cities she
may go in the street cars thus at
tired. but III others she would not 20
bareheaded unless she had but a sfor;
ways to walk or were going in a
carriage. = she wears a hat and
evening frock she discards the hat
and cheeks it in the dressing room
tends the theater in day clothes
and. of course. that is how most peo-
pie do go to the theater-she wears
her hat to her seat and there re-
moves ii.
When staying at hotel woman
may do as she chooses about wearing
a hat for breakfast or luncheon. rsu-
ally IL she is going out after the
meal or has just come in she would
wear her hat-especially if the hotel
restaurant is freQuented by other
women with hats on. For dinner she
may also do as she chooses unless she
/ Is dressed in elaborate evening dress,
and then she would go hatless.

now, you can use plenty Of as.
tringents on it to guard against
course pores in later life. More than
anything else, you must keep the
skin perfectly clean during these
younger years, for a healthy com
plexion must always be a clean one
There are two sorts of cold creams
The kind you purchase ordinarily is
made of white mineral oil with way

consistency. This is cleansing, since
the oil softens the dirt in the pores
but it is not nourishing. The othel
sort contains vegetable oil, and Is

sort of cold cream you prefer. Choose
an oil soap, because it is least dry

to begin the cleaning treatment and
very cold water to end it.
With these simple directions KEPT
in mind, there is no reason why you

A Well Preserved Skin.

One of the greatest compliments
that can be given a woman beyond
middle age is that she is well pre-
served. For this implies much more
than beauty. 1t shows that she has
valued her good looks all her life
and taken the means to preserve
them. If you are young and feel
that you are quite good looking
enough, please remember this-youth
must vanish with the years, and the
care that you take of your COM
plexion and your body must in
evitably show up when you have
passed middle age.
Therefore, you must be careful of
your diet and your health, SO that
your skin will look it's best. There
fore, you must study your complexion
and it's needs. If your skin is too
dry now. it is going to wrinkle later
on unless you feed it with nourish-
ing cream. If your skin is too oily

Peter Rabbit Makes
Startling Discovery.

Peter Rabbit dived under that old
windfall in the Green Forest just in
the very nick of time. If he had
waited two seconds longer Terror the
Goshawk would have had him. You
sidered it a narrow escape. 4 very
narrow escape, and probably we
would have thought and talked of
| little else for the rest of that day.
Peter hardly gave the matter sec
ond thought once he was safe. He is
| SO used to escapes like that he doesn't
consider them worth thinking about
Peter peepcd out to N.atch Terror
, the Goshawk. He saw Terror aIight
and settle himself as if he intended to
stay awhile. Peter chuck1ed. IF you
are going to wait for me to come out
you'll wait a long time. Yes, sir, you'll
wait long time" said Peter, but he
said it to himself. Then he chuckled
again as he continued to talk to him

here if Terror hadn't driven me in
He settled the matter for me. Now
the question is. Is Buster Bear asleep
somewhere in here? Now that I'm
| here l am going to find out / know
he had his den here last winter, but.
of course, that doesn't mean that he

, know just where to look"
! So Peter began to creep toward the
very middle of that big windfail. Be-
!, ing small. it was easy for him to
crawl under and between the tangled
| branches of those fallen trees Pres
emily he came to a sort of a path or
big to Peter. 1t led straight to the
middle of that windfall. Peter paused
on the edge of 1T. For some time he
sat there trying to gain courage
| enough to follow that path. He knew
| that at one end of it he would find
| out what he wanted to know. He
would find out whether or not a GER
tain big bed was empty.
After long time, during which he
sat listening with all his might and
path Just being in path that great
Buster Bear had made gave him a
queer feeling. OF course. he was saf fe
, enough. He knew that. Even were
nothing to fear, for he could run
along that path much faster than
Buster Bear possibly could. Yet the
very fact that that was Busters path
scared him.
: But curiosity gradually overcame
| his fear. 1t almost always does. Step
| by step he crept along that path. All
the time his wabbly little nose was
working and presently it told him
that beyond a doubt there was some
I one ahead of him. He could smell
Bear. There was no doubt about it,
He moved more slowly than ever now.
| Two or three times he imagined he
| heard slight sounds ahead of him
Each time he turned and ran back in
\ a panic. But each time nothing hap
| pened and he crept back.
! SO at last Peter reached the end of
the path it ended in the very middle
| Of that windfall. 1t ended in a good
sized. comfortable room with the
fallen trees for walls and roof The
snow had packed all over those fallen

TO the Editor of The Times Dispatch:
Sir.-In the light OF the recent
fatalities which have occurred In
Richmond. Va. OF pedestrians being
ruin down by automobiles. feel it
my duty to voice protest against
such recklcssness.
i am constrained to believe IL the
cause OF these killings was sifted
down to real facts. the fair minded
person would undoubtedly place the
blame on the driver of those ma
chimes.
II facts could be proven / am in
ciined to believe that % per cent OF
the drivers OF automobiles are mem
tally and temperamentally unqualified
to drive an automobile. They seem
to have no regard for life, law or
property. and show utter contempt
FOR pedestrians. Such drivers are
only qualified to drive an ox-cart.
II lis high time laws were being
made which Will help. to curb this
evil and humiliate this reckless ele-
ment. An individual who can afford
to own machine does not object to
paying A measly fine of SIS. $40 or
even $50. but II this transgressor gets
jail sentence OF thirty to ninety
days he Will set up and take notice.
This law should be poignant enough
to re 7humiliating; fine Is not sui.
