Opera Opens on
Dazzling Note
BY ELEANOR GUM

NEW YORK-Opera lovers put
~ on a brave show for the pre-
miere at the Met. opera lovers in
this instance being distinguished
from music lovers for whom the
opera itself counts. The dazzling
audience. running true to form
was much more interested n each
other than in the music.
The occasion upheld the tradi-
tional brilliancy with a del,Ige OF
spangles to add to the sparkle OF
jewels. TiaraS and diamond neck
laces were there in staggering ar
ray.
Skirts? Very full, very beruffled

personally feel that more
deaths result from relapses after
m illness. than from the original
disease. Fever patients especially
should keep extremely quiet until
after al fever has gone and
atrength Is restored. The patient
feels al right while he Is In bed

strength is at q low ebb. I often

and nurse must use all their in

and prevent him from injuring
himself.
The simple rules OF good nursing
include common sense and much
patience. All sick persons require
fresh air and sunshine. Good water
to drink and plenty Of It. Ice water

water. Frequent bathing and gen.

movements must be intelligently

Mrs. Mclean Is
Preparing Us
For Air Raids
BY TALBOT LAKE

INC VI LIE uIdWpdSho VI eS
~ mocracy Is that its people can't
be bothered very much about 1t
until it Is involved in war. Those
few who enlisted as air raid war.
dcns and fire department auxil-
iaries were thought to be quaint
and a trifle foolish by those who
are now. and fortunately not too
belatedly. Joining them
Mrs. Alice T. Mclean who
founded the American Womens
Voluntary Services in this coun-
try two years ago. took an awful
lot of kidding from people-until
today.
Mrs Mclean watched the wo-
men Of England organize under
the leadership of the Dowager
Viscountess of Reading. Every
town had its uniformed ambulance
drivers. evacuation clerks and air
raid wardenS. She came back to
this country telling women that
they should take training in fire
fighting. air raid precautions. the
operation OF mobile kitchens. tele-
phone switchboards and sewing.
She opened headquarters In
New York City. where women
could attend lectures and 60 to
classes on various subjects. First
aid proved to be the most popular.
then came air raid warden work.
At the present time the Amer.
lean Women's Voluntary Services
are concentrating on teaching
housewives what to do In case
there Is an air raid.
THE principle underlying all
this Is that knowledge lessons ter
ror." Mrs. Mclean said. THE wo-
man who never saw an incendiary
bomb Is far more terrified than
the housewife who has her pail Of
sand and shovel handy. and knows
exactly how to put that incendiary
bomb out Of commission.
MY ambition for America Is to
have every woman SO prepared
through knowledge. She will have
her own house in order-her glass
protected, her windows ready for
the blackout. her shelter room
equipped with sand. candles.
drinking water and food. She will
know what to do II she Is caught
away from home during q raid.
and she will understand thorough
ly what the civic and military au-
thorities expect of her in the way
OF obedience and cooperation
After that. she will offer her serv.
ices to help those less knowing and
therefore less fortunate than her.
self. We are doing our bit to help
teach these lessons to American
women"
Beginning with a mere handful
Of friends. Mrs. Mclean has seen
the American Womens Voluntary
Services grow to group Of thou

Too Many Flowers

A patient. even though not seri-
ously i'll, should never be aroused
from sleeping even for medicines
unless under direct orders from
the doctor. In case OF doubt. tele.
phone him and obey his orders. A
conscientious nurse is often at her
Wits end to protect her patient

powering and often extremely de.
pressing. A small bunch of color
may be very charming. but large
punches often cause sick stomach
TO one who Is weak and sick.
Friends send great baskets Of fruits
and boxes Of candles. This Is very
kind and the food may tempt the
patient, but seldom Is It the proper
thing for q sick person. This only
adds to the nurses problems, for
she must show great discrimina-
ton to decide what to admit to the
room and what not to.
Fortunately. the nurse can al
ways pass the decision on to the
physician.
The nurse and the family are
often In . predicament about what
to do with q patient who has been
sick and Is on the way to recovery.
Many Of these patients become OBJ
