Home Nursing

Sacrificing Appearances For Comfort EHE delicate girl in the blue satin
 bed stirred restlessly under
 foam of lace and chiffon, and blue satin pillows, and sighed.
 Her mother, sitting in big blue chair by her side, rose instantly and leaned over her.
 s'Is the pain worse, dear?" she asked tenderly.
 q don't know what it is, but I feel so cooped up--and smothery,' complain ed the girl, throwing a a-thin hand across the pillow.
 Her mother hurried to the telephone in the outer hall and told the doctor in low, worried tones that Mary seemed worse, and complained. of a smothery feeling. "I'm so afraid it's her heart, doctor" said the woman anxiously. That's the way her father used to feel and you know how quickly he went off"
 ssNonsense, my dear woman! Your husband had chronic heart affection of long standing, while Mary is a young girl with a perfectly normal heart. She is suffering just now from nervous exhaustion brought on by too much study and too many late hours" The doctors voice was stern, but his words cOmforted Mary's mother.
 q think she should have some one to take care of her for a few days he added Mothers are wonderful nurses, but it takes too much out of them. They are martyrs to their chil. dren's whims and fancies. I am going to send a nurse up, or I'll have you for a patient next" a So a nurse arrived. A M

 She was not surprised when shG opened the sick-room door a little later to find that the air was heavy witt costly perfume, the windows dusky with beautiful hangings of lace anG silk, with velvet inner curtains at tht side shutting out every possible breath of air.
 Leaning over the pale young girl in the bed, she felt the weight of satin coverlet and linen sheets with one hand and knew why the girl was restless.
 T feel so smothery-and my father died of heart disease-and I know mother is worrying about my heart, confided the girl as her mother tiptoed into the room.
 The nurse told her reassuringly that

has made, if Mabel hadn't appeared at an inauspicious moment, after Garry's wedding, and refused to return his gift when he asked for it; fearful of what might happen should his jealous better half learn the truth.
 This is the starting point of the great Wilson Collison- -Bertram Harri- son farce comedy: Up In MabeHs Room," originally presented by A. H. Woods with John Cumberland in the role of Garry which is tos be the special attraction at the theatre all next week.
 The frantic efforts of Garry to se- cure his gift to Mabel; the stubborn ness of the young lady in refusing to oblige him; the stupidity of His as- sociates in their mad effort to assist him, all tend, to work to the end of limitless fun.

 Probably thes outstanding feature of the picture is the uncanny manner in which the producers have handled the purple ray of light which predominates many of the scenes and in which there is a human body invisible to the eye.

Sixteenth Century England So Inter-
 preted The Weather Conditions
 The cold spell of May, of which a meteorological correspondent wrote re- gently as "a phenomenon which recurs with remarkable regularity, and whose existence has been recognized for cen- turies," has not, in the wisdom of Eng fish ancestors, been regarded as a thing of ill-omen, says the Manchester Guard ian. More than one old writer alludes to it in praise, or else to its converse in terms of suspicion or hostility. Thomas Tusser, the author of "One Hundred Points of~Good Husbandry" (1557) and Five Hundred Points of Good Husbandry" (1573), writes:
 Cold May and windy,
 Barn filleth up finely. Again, later, he dug up the obsolete old English word "findy" to provide a bet ter rhyme

During hot weather a hearty
breakfast often carries one well
through the day. Hot noontime sell
dom stimulates an appetite and a
hot evening fails to pep one up to
the eating point.
The strawberry Bavarian cream Is
a concession to your sweet tooth,
but you must sacrifice some place
else to have it. 1t may make you
very warm, too, because of its high
fat content.
One day of each week should be
a meatless day. The reducing diet
is a bit unbalanced. so menu lack
ing animal protein is most bene-
fetal. The nut timbales take the
place of meat and bread, are very
nourishing. but do not supply the
minerals found in meat. Your pint
OF SKINNED milk, radishes. lettuce
and prunes furnish this need.
