OFA pillows have a way of getSng
 shabby all of 0 sudden, and 1t is o sometimes expedient to put slip covers on them while waiting for con- venient season to purchase the ne" tops. In buying new pillows examine those stuffed with duck down. They make soft, comfortable pillows, and are good for use under fine coverings. The real feather pillows are heavier and wear better. The cheaper flt-ss of moss. felt, cotton and hbCe are better for out-of-door pillows.
 A close-nap plush always makes a ser viceabIe cover, which may be brushed and wiped of without injury. and the pillows covered with 1t nice as a foundation on which to rest the fancy ones. Blues. browns, greens and pur- ples are usually selected with an occa- EionaI red if the couch happens to be black or tan.
 The black velvet pillows are very fash ionabIe They are nearly all embeoid- cred in gold or are decorated with gold applique One pillow has a finish of wide gold lace set in fiat at the seam and shaped and fitted at the corners so that 1t lies fiat on one side of the pill low Here 1t is caught with orange cross-stitches following the pattern on the edge of the lace. The work is very effective. At each corner there is a large black satin rosette with a yellow heart like 8 poppy centre
 The soft meal-bag type of cushion made of black velvet is tied with g splashing big bow of black satin rib bon, and the top is lined with orange velvet, the only color on the cushion
 Another of this peculiar style is made of heavy gray satin tied with a big bow of silver ribbon The top is lined with lilac velvet and violet velvet rises are appIioued on the front of the pillow.
 Eeart-shRped pillows arc very popular and are usually made with a ruffed edge. One made entirely of ribbon was braided in pink-and- blue satin ribbon and finished with a double ruff1e of the pink and blue ribbon. Both sides of this pillow were alike, though many have

 Sister Dora who was born Dorothy Patterson, grew up in Yorkshire in the first half of the 18th century. She was a dear little girl with passion for dolls She loved dolls even more devotedly than does the average child. HeF favor ite game was to pretend that her dolls were sick and that she was their nurse Sometimes she washed and nursed them so vigorously that she washed. the paint from their faces
 This desire to nurse showed itself more strongly as she grew into girIhood.

She begged to be allowed to sit up all night with any one in the neighborhood who was ill
 Dorothy's family recognized that this great interest was not merely young girls fad. So they allowed her to go away to study to be nurse.
 Nursing was very hard work in those days. It did not have the scientific helps 1t now has Although the nurses of today go through a most difficult training and do much hard work. they did even more fin Dorothy Patterson's s time.
 After nursing in many hospitals and doing private nursing, Dorothy went to WaIsau and settled there. In this great.
