Flowers, fruits and jellies are customary gifts If your friend is supplied with these dainties, a new book or magazine, will be even more appreciated as bringing a fresh element into the sick room. The caller should dress attractiveâ€" ly. Only those who have experienced much illness, realize what a positive refreshment a caller‘s charming toilâ€" et may be nor with what delight the tired eyes take in every bright deâ€" tail. You must remember that what is merely an episode to the caller is an event to the patient. 1 The visitor should carry cheerful news and avoid all that may be deâ€" pressing. One‘s own personal worâ€" ries and trials should be left outside. Entertaining news items, descripâ€" tions of the latest book read and letâ€" ters from absent friends will all be of intérest to the lonely shutâ€"in. Too much sympathy with the paâ€" tient is a mistaken kindness and often positively harmful. After a few kindly enquiries, the visitor should tactfully lead the conversaâ€" tion away from the patient‘s ailâ€" ments into other channels. Diversion of the right kind is really as valuable to a sick person as a dose of medi-‘ cine. She is probably more or less exâ€" cited though not able to realize her real feeling until after her guest‘s departure. But more important than all else in visiting the sick, is the atmosphere the caller consciouely or unconsciousâ€" ly carries with her. _ Conversation, manner, even the tones of the voice have thair effect on the invalid. I Some visitors never know when to go. As a rule, from fifteen minutes to half an hour is a sufficiently long period, for it is far better to go while the welcome lasts. If the visiâ€" tor is wise, she will not allow herself to be entreated to remain long’r or to prolong her call by the invalid‘s plea that she is "not a bit tired." | Most invalids are better able to enjoy seeing their friends during the middle .of the day than at other times. Few invalids care to receive their friends until the room has been freshly aired and set in order for the day, the daily bath and toilet comâ€" pleted and the doctor‘s morning visit over. _ Neither early morning nor late evening are favoralbe visiting hours. | The first thing to consider is the selection of a seasonable hour. The patient needs regular and periodic care and the visit should be timed with reference to this and not mereâ€" ly to the caller‘s personal convenâ€" ience. To know just when to call, how long to stay and just what to do and say when visiting the sick, requires tact, judgment and common sense.

According to this author, the Latin word "Venetus," which was both the name of the color and that of the people, points to its origin. From the veneti the custom was adopted by the Romans. Thus the son â€"of Pompeius, after defeating Caesar‘s fleet in a naval battle,; wore the navy blue, although entitled to the purple. There is much less likely to be feed flavors in milk if feeding is not done at milking time, f also their soldiers and sailors wore blue uniforms. The blue color so prominent in the uniforms of almost all marines is of ancient origin. Vegeting, in his fifth book on the military affairs of the Romans, traces the origin of this color to the Veneti, an ancient peoâ€" ple dwelling near the coast of Bisâ€" cay, and well versed in seamanship It was customary among them to paint their outgoing ships as well as the masts and sails with a blue color: Tomato is a word of Mexican deriâ€" vation from tomato, the native name in country for the vegetable. The origin of the tomato was the "love apple." Salad literally means saited, and is a direct descendant of the Latin word sal, or salt. The use of salad to mean the greens irom which or on which a salad mixture is placed is one of only recent origin. The Italian insalata and the Spanish salada, meaning salad in those languages, actually means salted. Custard was a corruption of a mid dleâ€"English word meaning a pie or tart and was allied to the modern French word croustade of the same meaning. All these words came fron the Latin crusta, meaning crust. Mushrooms get their name from the same source as moss. EEoule Fritter is from an old French word meaning to dry or & dish of fried fish, which comes directly from the Latin frictus, the past participle of the verb frigere. Nobody knows what muflin came from, but it was probablly derived from the word muff, and we can imaz ine that it might hbave been due to some similarity between the waorm cake and the hand covering. What "Pudding" Means. Pudding in its early form was made of minced meat of some sort, wel! seasoned and stuffed into an intestine, and then cooked by boiling. There are words in many early languages meanâ€" ing pudding, but it seems originally to have come from some word mean ing & short body or inflated skin. Pone is a word of Indian derivation and an early English historian of Virâ€" ginia took pains to explain that it was not from the Latin panis, meaning bread, but from the Red Indian word oppone and it was early applied in the south to any bread made of Indian corn. Cruller is a good Canadian dish, though it is from an old German or Dutch word, "krullen," meaning littie curled cake. A dumpling is a good old English dish and comes from the word dump en, that meant to throw down sudden. ly, and the diminutive ending, ling. The idea was a little caxe that was made by throwing raw dough into boilâ€" ing water. From Portugal we get our word marâ€" malade, which was originally a sweet preserve made from quinces, and takes its name from marcelo, the Porâ€" tuguese name for that fruit.
