Home Nursing and

Eitting down heavily in her husbands

with a smile.

nurse is always asking for them"
I'll get some wrapping paper. 1t
will do just as well, won't it," the
woman said and started out of the
room.
The nurse followed her downstairs.

know how it is when you are sick
every little noise irritates you. Mr.,
Brown is a dear, but know his nerves
are all tangled"
Nothing bothers me when am in

There's q lot of nonsense about some
sick folk and l guess my Hiram is no

The nurse was cutting pieces Of pa

"Why are you so particular about
wrapping all the dressings in paper"
asked Mrs. Brown.
Her husband had empyema and a
PARTICULARLY difficult dressing had to
be done several times a day.
Il couldn't allow such dressings to
come downstairs in the waste-paper

little Mortified at the thought.
It's a good idea TO keep brown pa

young and in her limited experience

Suppose you had a cut on yoIr

What's New
Fashions

Paris, Feb. 24.-It seems probable
that in the spring and late winter
costumes, draperies will continue, but
with a subtle change. They will be
l,ss full and the greater width of the
skirt will be indicated by fan-shaped
panels. The lines of the back will be
straight ard simple.
London, Feb. 24.-Alpaca, watered
silk and cashmere all have been re-
vised today for the newer gowns.
Cashmere especially has become very
pretty and fanciful in both pattern
and shapes. 1t is often trimmed
with long fringes of silk or monkey
fur.

Are we due for a revival OF the
hoop skirt?
And the hustle?
Is the tight bodice coming hack?
Not many people now living can
remember so far in the past as hoops.
The hustle, however. is recalled by
merely rather elderly folk.
The tight bodice is within the re-
collection of those hardly yet middle
aged.
Indications are that we are going
to have the tight bodice with us again.
The hustle is something more than a
possibility. The hoop skirt, perhaps.
Looks Like 1t.
At a recent ball in New York a
fashionable society girl appeared in a
gown that reproduced the style of 1870
in all its details.
A smart designer is bringing cut
taffeta frocks with back trimming that
strongly suggests the hustle.

II You Can't Get Kraat, Eat Bushels
of Pickles and You'll Be Beauty
BY MARGARET RGHE

New York, Feb. 24.-The cabbage
crop is short, alas. Whatever shall
we do. for saurkraut's the newest food
that gives good health to you. Poor
yeast can never hope to rise to heights
like saurkraut, according to the lat
est dope the faddists have found ont.
A good digestion, appetite, sound sleep
and rosy hue are but a few OF all
the things that kraut will do for you.
And with all this within our grasp
it seems an awful blow the crop Of
cabbages should fall, but don't feel too
much woe. Though you may not cat
saurkraut and revel in good health you
still may gorge on pickles and thus
beautify yourself.
For pickles are for pulchritude, so
many experts say, and you'll become
quite rayishing if you eat lots each
day. So get the pickle habit. When
you've nothing else to do, just beat
it to the pantry and devour one or
two.
There's been a big convention Of
the Pickle Packers where this talk
of picked beauty has been strongly
given air. Clendenin, who is presi-
dent, says research has revealed
there's nothing like the pickle in the
identifying field. Preserver Of COM
plexiOns, it has never had just due.
1t gives that satin texture and that
rosy peachbiOom hue. And when it
comes to figures, if you must go into
that, it's quite all to the mustard as
an enemy of fat.
They say the lovely Catherine,
King Henry Eighth's first queen,
gave credit. large to pickles for the
beauty of her mien. And, from her
youth in Aragon, through all her
later life, when she was wed 20
Henry as q first-of-series wife, she
dotted on all pickles, ev'ry sort, and
ev'ry kind-sweet. sour, little CHER
kins or rich watermelon rind. Who
knOws-'tis oft the little things
count most when all is said-perhaps
it was the pickles that preserved the
ladys head.

times instead of for their beauty, bat
