The Elegance Of Fine Lace Feroinio and Charming Is the . All-Over Lace Tablecloth The fall -. over lace tablecloth has beep brought. into fashion by 'royal hostesses, such as the Duch- esd of Gloucester and the Duchéss of Kent. There is something" very" elegant. 'and - feminine about a parchment- tinted lace tablecloth 'laid over a well-polished mahogany table or on top of a piece 'of gold- en yellow or leat green satin, and some of the designs are really ex- quisite, modern adaptations of the costly period piéces, For luncheon or are other more everyday lace cloths made in two tones of por- ridge and cream, says an English correspondent. These are very: of- fective with pottery and fireproof dishes in. brown and cream; they do not s¢il at all quickly, and wash like a handkerchief. supper there Champion Scotch Dancer. competitors Competing with United from Canada and the States, Anna- Cummings, 22, of Laurentian.

Necklaces of this sort are worn with off-shoulder decolleles for evening, and occasionally with plafn-bodiced afternoon . dresses. Comment is that the plain basque bodices which may appear with bustled skirts need ornaments of the sort to soften their severity.

Dr, Sargent's problem was something else again, Last week." Dr. Benchley is in. sistent that Tran. marry him but she has her eye on another goal. CHAPTER - IX Several evenings before, Tran had spent hours writing up a nurs. ing care report, , . , The Nursing Care report," her student text said, was 'significant "as showing - the nurse's ability to recognize and to analyze intelligently and sympa- thetically the many nursing prob- lems, psychological as well as phy- sical, that are presented by any. one patient." Miss Armstrong had charge of But to give added zest to it, the students' papers were oc- casionally read and commented upon by some of the members of the medical staff, This was a particularly ticklish assignment because, this time, the commentator was to be the ter- rible Dr. Stephen Sargent. The thought "of those eyes of his--at once icy and. angry -- passing judgment upon her work, made Tran's hands turn cold as she Tho anticipation of his caustic comments as the case of which she wrote was one of his own, to which she had been as- signed to help Miss Miller, Miss Miller had been unusually Indeed, Tran.had lately Miller, once she was convinced that you were' in oarnest, could be amazingly human and kind. There were times when Tran wondered, with understanding beyond her years, if the whole 'trouble about Miss Miller could not be that all" her' life she had had to fight a devastating shyness. When Tran had finished, she was tired. So tired that she felt she was entitled to a little inno- cent relaxation, : A Little Game A delightful idea was begin- ning to take shape in her too fer- Hy brain. _She tapped her nose jth her pen, giggled, drew paper /ards Sher, and began to write CA Patient; X. & Doctor: . =. She considered for 2 moment; then wrote lourish: Benchley. Head nurse: Tranquility Dear- born. Diagnosis: None. Note: Although my patient was admitted to this hospital 10 years ago and. has been constantly .un- der observation, no comprehensive diagnosis to cover all his amazing symptoms has yet been arrived at. However, as Dr. Osler has said, "It is sometimes more important to know what sort of patient has the disease than what sort of dis. case the patient has." Color: White.

Emotional Reactions: His emo- tional reactions are so varied and unusual: as to afford an instruc- tive study, . . . Our text asserts that a patient should be an inter- esting study to an alert nurse, The nurse who failed to find X in- teresting would be phlegmatic, in- _ deed. Personal Description: X is "a tall, spare, blond man of the san. guine type which always looks as if it had just scrubbed its face, neck, and ears with a brush and green soap, and rinsed with ice water, His eyebrows are arro- gant; his nose is one of the lofty kind which seem especially design- ed for snorting. are very blue, habitually wear what can only be: described as a "pe-damned-to-you" expression. Manifestation of Symptoms: X is obviously a man who is ac¢cus- tomed to having his own way. An illustration of this observation follows: Dr. X Since our text instructs us that charts and reports bearing upon the patient's condition should 'be kept from his eyes, the nurse ob- served the usual procedure, when X's temperature was taken, of re- tiring to a distant light to read the thermometer. Each time this happened, however, the patient fell into so dangerously excited a state because he was not permitted to read the therfiometer himself that eventually it seemed wisest to al- low him to do so. One must never unduly alarm a patient by seeming to hide the truth from him. (N.T., p. 137.). When_X discovered that the thermonfeter read at exactly nor- Jmal, he seemed violently chagrin- "ed, and inisisted that it must have been tampered with--that in his condition it should read at least four degrees higher. Another of his eccentricities is that, in spite of taétful.efforts to dissuade him; he persists in tak. ing his own pulse at frequént in- tervals. On one occasion he over de- manded a sphygmomanometer for the purpose of taking his blood pressure; but that time, his attention was successfully distract- ed by the appearance of his lunch tray, to which he at once gave his undivided attention, falling asleep immediately thereafter. . .. (Con- tents of tray: thick "soup, large steak, mushrooms, mashed pota- toes, peas, tomato salad, mince-pie, cheese, and pot of coffee.). Unfortunately the meal have failed properly to digest, for very soon the patient was in the throes jof what appeared to be a bad .dream. He seemed to fancy "himself to be in . -the operating room, for he "cried out angrily, - "Don't you -know, you (expletive _ deleted) that dropping an instru- ment might be equivalent to mur- der? It's a feather-zrain like you --dancing_ all night and then.com- ing into the operating room with the jitters--that. make surgeons wish they were taxi drivers." Treatment: . . . The nurse owes the patient not only professional skill, but all the personal qualities that go with gracious womanhood. (N.T., p, 198.). Think of the pa-- tient as of your -brother, or any one dear to you and suffering. (p. 200.). With the above dicta in mind, I have repeatedly tried to soothe the patient with little thoughtful attentions--such as reading aloud to him a beautiful and uplifting romance from the latest 'Ladies': Home Review." His reaction was disappointing, not to say alarm- ing. After the first few sentences, X struggled to. an upright posi- tion, his face livid and congested, and cried out in a strangled voice, "If you must read that slop, for Heaven's sake (Refer to remarks ROYAL ASSURES AN APPETIZING LOAF His eyes, which' own must about religion) go and do it where I can't hear you!" i Discovered! There was a good deal more, When it was finished, Tran tuck. ed it under her arm with the class report, intending to read it to Reula Tagg that night. Beula, however, was sleepy and indivpos- .ed to listen. Tran dropped it upon her desk, 'and for the time com- pletely forgot about it. Top Sarge entered the classroom on the appointed day with the glint of battle in his blue eyes.' He plunged at-once into a discus. sion. of the pile of student reports' before him -- reading bits aloud and commenting in his curt, clip- ped accents, . Of some he was gra- ciously pleased to approve. Others he dealt with in phrases so corro- sive that Beula Tagg, one of the victims, said afterwards that she felt as if she had been bathed in acid, nr As the hour- Tran sat shivering between relief and disappointment that her own report had not"been one of those chosen. It was. then that, with a glance at the clock, he took up a final paper, ¥ "Now here," _he said, "is an un- usual document." Tran gripped the seat: of her chair, Was there something dis: tinctly familiar looking about that paper? "The case," Dr. Sargent was go- ing on, "is not one that-has come under my care." Then it couldn't be her report, She had written about one of his own cases. . . . And yet--a hide- ous conviction turned everything black before Tran's eyes as he be- gan to read. °* (To Be Sl] « THT Sil Teo Much Beauty Is A Handicap Men Prefer Women With Av- rage Good Looks, Health and Good Nature ° Unusual beauty in women can be a liability rather than an asset, ac- cording to Migs Elizabeth MacDon- ald- Osborne, pt Boston Unlversity, "The noted consultant on women's problems said she had studied the great women !n history and found that almost everyono of them had one or two Imperfections In their faclal features..
