Was 1t possible his sister had warned
him against going with a salesgirl
who lived in a three -roomed apart
ment? Was this debutante girl he
loved or intended to marry7
Margie tossed her head. She did
not believe Spafford's sister could
come between them. She did not be-
lieve this debutante could affect their
lives.
But that evening. when Margie and
her mother had finished dinner. the
drabness and loneliness Of their little
home was too much for her.
Lets go out and take a stroll; let's
20 to the movies: oh, let's do some-
thing different" said Margie.
"You take a little walk; I'm too
tired to &c, anywhere" declared her
mother.
Margie slipped into sports sweater
and tam and hurried out into the cool,
refreshing spring air. At first she
planned to walk over to Maisie's
boarding house, which was less than
a mile from her apartment. and then
she realized that she was in mood
which preferred quiet. Then she
suddenly saw the tall, well built fig
ure of Frank Spafford swinging up
the street. Quickly she hurried back
The evening world., 1922-04-12

into the vestibule and waited, waited
breathlessly for him to ring the bell.
She would surprise him and open the
front door herself.
But from behind the yellow cur
tains in the hall she saw him walk
calmly by. He was not coming to
call. At first she wished she had
been out on the doorstep. Then they
would have met. But why was he
merely walking past the apartment?
She hurried out to watch his retreat
ing steps.
Margie sat down on the doorstep as
Frank Spafford hurried down the
street. When he reached the corner
he paused a moment as II reconsid-
ering whether he should retrace his
steps. Margie took in his actions
breathlessly. What was going on
within his mind? Was he going
through any of the mental agonies
which she had suffered during those
few days of absence?
At last young Spafford turned the
corner and was gone. I-argie heaved
a great sigh and began to walk up
and down in front OF the aparatment'

renewed faith, new outlook upon

The same force which had driven him
to her home would bring him to her.
She would go back to her glove coun-
ter tomorrow, with a new light in her
eyes. She would go back to that dull
little apartment upstairs now with
happy smile for her mother. Things
would not always be like that for
either of them. She knew it.
One more turn to the corner and
then she would go upstairs. one
more-she was almost to the corner
now and coming right in her path
straight ahead was no less a person
than Frank Spafford. She could not
turn back. They would meet.

hand to her. "How did you happen

so perfectly they cannot be criticised
In any way.
The modern American girl must get
down to fundamentals and believe in
them before shesis going to be able to
put anything over in the way Of be-
ing sure of herself In this matter OF
dress. She must be willing 10 realize
that these newer methods OF dress are
the most adequate after all. and that
by following them she Is going 70 be
more comfortable and moro In har-
mony with the spirit of her time. Else
how will she be able to stand for the
principles which make for the dress
ing Of her age?
Her dresses are far more beautiful
than were her mothers or her grand
mothers before her, II she Is only able
to he free enough TO see II that way.
Her harmony with her own life is
quite complete as II stands o-day and
she should have the utmost courage
to carry Off the thing In which she
really believes.
The dress that Is shown in the ac-
companying picture Is one OF ,the
simplest OF the modern fashions and
yet one of the most complete. The
sleeves are made in the proper rela-
ton to the rest OF the costume, and
the panels on the side represent the
last degree OF style and the lines
which 1t insists upon this season.
The sleeves are heavy. OF course.
and the material OF the dress is as
heavy as II can well be. II is done
upon the same principle as a mans
sht-that is, 1t Is thick enough to
serve every adequate purpose in IT
self and then II needs very little un-
der material to make IL a perfect
thing.
Have you noticed how the embroid
cry on the modern dresses is used 10
weight the material so that II as
sumes a thick and classic hne? Tho
sleeves and the side panels on this
dress shown in the picture are only a
sample Of the mode as II exists, and
not only the handwork but the las
sells are an example OF what can be
done TO make the dress assume the
proportions and the lines that are
necessary for the dresses of the
modern era.
The line OF the skirt Is something
to be considered about this dress, for
no matter how many knee length
skirts you may see about the town,
there certainly Is a tendency for the
skirts to come down. When the skirts
themselves do not reach the low wa
ter mark. then the panels take up
the responsibility and droop to a point
that makes them radically long. This
dress Is one OF the very best ex-
amples of the mdern mode, and can
be considered as a veritable forecast
of those TO come six months from
now just as inevitably as fashion
happens once II has been deereed by
those who know the way In which i
tends.

as we'll IS it's pleasant phases ~
brings a satisfaction which 1t hardly
seems possible any other work can
give.
Above everything. nursing is wom-
ans work. 1t has grown as women
themselves have progressed; the fu-
ture holds as many undeveloped pos
sibiIities as those that have opened
I'D in the last decades. From the
time when the little girl gives special
netting to her sick" dolls, every
woman has the nursing instinct. only
ready to be developed and trained.
And IL, after she has studied and prac-
tised nursing. she marries and has
her own home, instead OF dropping
the profession by which she earned
her living. she finds 1t helps make her
O more successful wife and mother.
The evening world., 1922-04-12

Tho new one-plece dresses are
largely made with undcrslips which
provide the underclothes as II were.
In other words, the total structure OF
the dress Is so complete that all that
is needed to go with II is a pair Of
boomers and some suitable shoes and
stockings.
All this so''Nds most radical to
those who have not become attuned
to the ultra modern ways Of dressing,
but these things which are radical and
new will become the ordinary express
sion OF tomorrow, and II we do not
care to be left behind in the process
sion, then we might as we'll disregard
progress altogether.
As a matter OF fact, girls are dress
ing more sonsibiy every day, IL ones
point OF view could be easily adjusted.
They are refusing to wear the frio-
peries and gewgaws that were their
portion not so long ago. They choose
a perfectly well made suit and then
they are subjected to family remarks
that wiring their souls. They hear
their mothers say; aren't you afraid
that you will catch cold7" They hear
their grandmothers say: "In my day
we considered II necessary to wear
more clothes!" But still they are
convinced their portion OF clothes Is
sufficient.
The average American girl wears
three layers less clothes than her for
bears. She knows what a real and
honest line means and she sticks TO
the expression OF that line in spite OF
the criticism OF her family and some
Of her older friends.
A girl to-day, II she has n good
looking coat, gets every dress to go
with that coat in some particular or
other. She insists that 1t shall har-
monize with the general outlines OF

appears in the complete harmony OF
the two she is sure they go together

Private duty nurses are responsible
for the bedside care and treatment of
patients in hospitals or homes. The
standard rate for the private nurse Is
se u day, with her board and room
while on case. Institutional work,
which offers variety Of positions, is
especially interesting to girls with ex-
ecutive ability. AS a beginning, such
work pays from SIS to ss7 a month,
plus room, board and laundry. Ex-
ecutives receive more, and their SAL
aries range from 81 200 to 81, 900. plus
all living expenses. The superinten-
dent usually has her own suite of
rooms and maid service also, making
this an extremely attractive posi-
tion in connection with a good hos
pital.

II Is not so many years since pri-
yate nursing was the usual field open
70 the nurse after she was graduated
from the hospital. 1t is now only one
OF many fields. To-day the nurse finds
many opportunities for service in
hospitals as superintendent, instructor
and head nurse. Each branch has Its
interesting features, but public health
work Is new and attractive, and since
Il gives more latitude for initiative,
appeals most strongly to our modern
girls.
For all branches, a good educational
background Is required. A high school
diploma is necessary for entrance TO
4he best schools, and it is extremely
important to enter a school OF good
standing. The prospective n"rse
should carefully compare what the
different training schools offer, and
De sure to choose one whose gradu-
ates may be 'R. Ms" Registered
nurse.) Roth New York and Brook
lyn have excellent schools, and Ma
tional headquarters of the American
Nurses Association, No. $40 Seventh

Information about schools elsewhere.
New York State requires minimum
of one year of high school for can
didate, but the girl who has the full
four years always has precedence
both In entering a training school and
n getting a good position afterward.
The ages of admission are usually
given as from eighteen to thirty-tive.
