!n the new summer frocks of heavy
linen oversleeve and sheer under-
sleeve effects are considerably used
but one finds too long moderately
close sleeves of the linen' trimmed up
the outside and at the wrist or trim-
med in cuff fashion half way to the el-
bow The Dutch neck fitted with such low
broad collars of finely hand embroid-
ered batiste or lawn as are in vogue
this winter will surely be popular for
simple summer frocks with women
who can successfully adopt these girl-
ish modes but the high transparent
collar or high stock shows no sign of
losing preBtlge
Hand embroidery is as much In de-
mand as ever and the new showing of
band flouncing allover and motif em-
broideries is surpassingly beautiful
English eyelet worn is greatly In evi-
dence among the choicest of the early
showings but it is of fine lacy charac-
ter and frequently combined with other
embroidery or lace Wide bands of
this openwork embroidery in exquisite-
ly intricate and fine design are dis-
played in soft ecru eb well as in white
and lovely effects are obtained with
Intermixture of delicate coloring— a
groundwork of the fine openwork done
in white with scattered design of soft
blue rose green or lavender thrown
over it or the eyelet work in color
with the other embroidery in white
The new bordered materials of the
lingerie and linen classes make fre-
quent use of these embroidery combi-
nations and many of the chic bordure
effects have plain wide borders of deli-
cate color joining the sheer white ma-
terial under trailing embroidery de-
signs One charming line of bordure
batistes has a white ground over
which at wide intervals are scattered
small embroidered dots of color say of
pink There is a six-inch border of
plain pink headed by embroidery in
soft pastel shades running up into the
white and down into the pink
Linens too as has been indicated
nave border effect similar to that just
described only on linen the embroid-
ery designs are bolder and heavier
Lovely batistes atod mulls with all-
over embroidery design are numerous
and some of these suggest delightful
blouses demanding little time and ef-
fort on the part of the maker For in-
stance there is a sheer silky white
batiste which has cluster? of very tiny
tucks three in a group set at two-inch
Intervals and between these groups of
tucks are lines or large embroidered
dots in delicate color— light blue pink
green or lilac
Another beautiful white batiste has
little English eyelets embroidered in
pink scattered all over its surface and
at intervals of about three or four
Inches a stripe of little pink embroid-
ered rosebuds clustered gracefully together
Many devoted and well-meaning
home nurses wonder why their pa-
tients do not Improve or have such
tedlouB convalescence The fault often
lies with trifling errors In nursing
which they think do not matter yet
which drive the sick one half to
frenzy
Here are a few hints that may make
illness more bearable for the long suf-
fering Invalid
See that the doors do not creak
Hinges should be rubbed with soap or
oiled at the beginning of an illness It
is maddening to be wakened from a
fitful sleep by an unnecessary noise
Do not bang doors nor yet open
them with such ostentatious silence as
to make the patient think he is at
death’s door
Never talk In brawling tones in a
sickroom on the other hand do not
whisper Anything the patient should
not hear should not be discussed in his
presence A buzzing horsefly is no
more annoying than the sickroom con-
versation in hissing whispers
Walk lightly and uncreakingly If
you cannot cultivate a light step take
to felt slippers or rubber soleB A
nervous temperament is often injuri-
ously affected by slight sounds that no
one else would notice
Sit as quietly as possible rocking
back and forth tapping the floor
swinging the leg or even nervous
movements of the hands or face often
gets unbearably on the nerves of the
patient
Never ask an invalid what she wants
to eat The capricious appetite must
be tempted not consulted
Don't groan over the hard work you
have to go or the gayeties you are miss-
ing It is hard enough on the sensa-
tive nature to feel herself a burden
without having her obligation rubbed
in
Do not get depressed yourself or at
least keep it from your patient There
is small use for medicines if their ef-
fect is counteracted by friends looking
and talking like a bird of ill omen
Keep the patient cheerful Remem-
ber that the power to look on the
bright side has saved many a life
Do not encourage too much company
Until one is well on the way to recov-
ery indiscriminate visitors are equiv-
alent to a backset Most invalids are
weaker than they realize and the ef-
fort to entertain friends or even to
listen to them is a tax on strength
Reading aloud In the same way
should be sparingly indulged in No
matter how fond of books the invalid
may be when well during an illness
the effort to listen is fatiguing Watch
the patient for signs of restlessness
Study the sick one’s peculiarities
and humor them as far as possible
There is no more fatal mistake in
nursing than to argue or fret an in-
valid Avoid issues

A Packing Case Co vered with Cretonne
The center of Interest in a young
girl’s bedroom is without doubt the
dressing table This is always made
as attractive as possible with a pretty
cover dainty cushions and little pin
trays
Now one does not have to go into
the shops and pay a high price for a
dressing table for often the home-
made affairs are quite as satisfactory
and a bit daintier The dressing table
In the sketch is made of a wooden
packing case The case cost 25 cents
and the cretonne to cover it was 30
cents a yard Sometimes one finds
very pretty cretonnes for less — per-
haps 15 or 20 cents a yard These are
not as fine but are quite as effective
The packing case may be bought at
any small shop Paint the case with a
white enamel paint inside and out
Stand it so that the opening is at the
front Tack the cretonne on across
the sides and slip a brass rod through
the top of the front breadths This
will allow the curtains being pushed
aside and boxes may be kept under
the table if desired
The cretonne cover for the top of
the table is made of a piece of the ma-
terial edged with cluny lace The
lace in the sketch was only five cents
a yard The mirror over the dressing
table is one of the inexpensive oak-
framed sort These mirrors usually
come to hang vertically but the screw
eyes may be changed so that they
may be placed horizontally It is
daintier if the mirror has a white
frame The wood may be sandpapered
or an opaque varnish stain may be
used
The dressing table is now ready for
the pretty little furnishings and no
one would ever guess how absurdly in-
expansive it was Girls who live in
furnished rooms might fix one up for
themselves for the average furnished
room rarely boasts a dressing table
Then a summer house needs just such
things to make it look artistic and
yet cool and comfortable The cover
may be made so that it will slip ofl
easily then the packing case maj
take up its original role and thiy
household goods may be packed la 11

IT WAS NOT HER BACK
Woman Had No Idea of Being Proxy
for Medical Trjatment
A missionary discoursing upon
India told of a woman who bad come
to her complaining of a very sore
back and desired that she pray for its
cure This Mrs Jackson did but the
woman again appeared before her and
declared that the back was still in a
bad condition Mrs Jackson advised
the use of an application of iodine
and brought out a bottle of the drug
to apply upon the afflicted part of the
woman’s anatomy But she regarded
the bottle suspiciously and acted as
though It would hurt her were she to
use it To allay her fears upon this
score Mrs Jackson applied some of
the drug to her own finger and showed
her that it would not burn and that
she had better allow her to put some
of it upon her back
"But” said the woman "It would
do no good”
“How so?” Inquired Mrs Jackson
sympathetically
“Because” replied the woman "it Is
my old man's back that is sore"

"I was stopped in the street by a
beggar with an 'I Am Deaf and Dumb’

postor he immediately recovered his
speech and in vigorous Anglb-Saxon
requested me to go to — er— the place
that the new theology tells us doesn’t
exist and mind my own business and

President Taft’s White Steamer
PRESIDENT TAFT AND HIS FAMILY IN THEIR WHITE STEAMER
When the announcement was made
several months ago that Mr Taft
would use an automobile during his
term as President much rivalry de-
veloped among the leading manufac-
turers for the honor of selling him a
car and the public watched with in-
terest to see what Mr Taft’s choice
would be The knowing ones predicted
that the White Steamer would Be se-
lected and they pointed out that Presi-
dent Roosevelt had used White Steam-
ers for two years at his summer home
at Oyster Bay and had recommended
this make to Mr Taft as the most de-
sirable This prediction proved correct al-
though Mr Taft did not rely solely
on Mr Roosevelt's recommendation
but with his usual thoroughness de-
termined to have an Investigation
made of all the principal makes Ac-
cordingly he1 asked several officers of
the War Department to look into the
matter for him and they tested many
makes of cars visited a number of
factories so that they might see what
materials were used and finally they
investigated the records of the differ-
ent types of cars in public contests
and in private service
When their labors were completed
the officials reported unanimously to
Mr Taft in favor of the White and
accordingly a car of this make was
immediately ordered from the manu-
facturers The White Company of
Cleveland
The new car was delivered to Mr
Taft in Washington a few days be-
fore his inauguration and since that
time it has been in almost constant
use There has not been a day when
the President or some member of
bis family have not been seen riding
around the National Capital in the
new car It is hinted that Mr Taft
likes fast traveling and that when
he rides out into the open country he
does not always Insist that the speed
of the car be kept within the legal
limits
W J Urquhart manager of the west-
ern branch of the White Company 239
Michigan Ave Chicago 111 said re-
cently to a correspondent of this
paper: “We are receiving many in
quiries each day asking for full de-
tails regarding the construction of
Mr Taft's car and in reply we are
sending copies of our catalog Mr
Taft’s car Is exactly like any other
Model ‘M’ 40 horse-power White
Steamer except that his car has the
United States coat-of-arms painted
on either door In other words
when we make a car for the Presi-
dent of the United States there is no
way in which we can make it any
better than the car which you or
anybody else can purchase from us
"Some of those writing to me
about Mr Taft’s car say that al-
though they are very desirous of
having a car like Mr Taft's they
are afraid that such a car is some-
what larger and more expensive than
they desire In reply to such letters
1 point out that our Model ‘O’ 20
horse-power car is exactly like our
40 horse-power model except as re-
gards the size of the different parts
The principle of construction Is ex-
actly the same and the smaller car
possesses all the desirable qualities
of our larger model In other words
one can secure an exact duplicate of
Mr Taft’s car for $4000 or a car of
the same qualities but of smaller di-
mensions for only $2000 Judging by
the demand for White cars a good pro-
portion of those desiring to purchase
automobiles are quite content to trust
President Taft’s judgment as to the
best and most desirable make”
