Have you or any of tho Corncrltcs the
books 'The Garden of Allah' and 'The
"Whlto Sister'? I will glndly pay postage
on them and return them with many
thanks after I have read them. I have
n brand new shoulder brace that I will

Please be so kind as to answer ns soon

Had this been your 21st letter is would
not have been thrown away. We shall
try to get tho books for you as loans,
If not ns gifts. Keep tho shoulder brace
until somebody who has procured your
address from Us writes to thank you for
tho offer.
Magazines to Pass Along
"Kindly supply me with the address of
M. H C. who has 'oodles of scraps' to
Elvo nwny, I have on Invalid sister who
Is desrlous of obtaining quilt pieces. I
will pay parcel post or express charges
on any or nil that are sent me. I have
a large number of mngazlnes I will glnd

The address of tho owner of tho
"oodles" went duly to you. I hope the
later was In time to get a share of tho
craps. Do not dispose olsowhero of tho
magazines until you have heard from
our readers. They will be most accept
able aa the long winter evenings come on.
Two Invalids Seek Aid
"Aa long as I could get along In any
way I hated to ask for help. But my
husband Is down with rheumatism and
has been all summer, and I see no chance
of his working this winter. I would not
ask for help, but I am also disabled and
cannot do much work. I ask for any kind
of help or anything that would do me
any good. And may God bless your Cor
ner for all the homes It has brought
smiles to and the hearts It has cheered
"CATIIEMNE T,"
It Is a sad story wo havo before us. We
have thousands of constituents whom I
am trusting to rally to the succor of the
Invalid wife of an Invalid husband. The
Corner should bring smiles Into this
shaded place. She Is not a mendicant,
but a would-be worker driven to tho
watt. The Corner has rescued scores of
that class. It will not fall us now.
Lost Their Home
"Would readers of the M. II C. please
end household furniture to my slater,
whose house and furniture were burned
two years ago? They live nine miles
from town and have four dear little
boys, ages 10, 8, 6 and 4. My sister would
be glad of any help from the Corner. I
wlU pay freight charges. I haven't much
to offer Just a bundle of soft white
cloths and a box of absorbent cotton
but I wish to be a member of the Corner

FOR A YOUNG GIRL
THE HYGIENIC VALUE OF
A THERMOSTAT IN YOUR ROOM
By WILLIAM
WHAT Is called an equable cl mate Is
generally conceded salutary for tho
nvernge Individual. Certainly It Is health
ful lo maintain a fairly equable tempera
ture Jn tho living rooms throughout the
winter months, because It is exposure to
excessive warmth, more than anything
else, that lowers one's natural resistance
to that group of specific bacterial In
fections vulgarly known ns "colds."
These respiratory dlsnses nre not cold
nlr diseases; they prevail most widely In
temperate climates. In moderate spring
and fall weather moro tlinn In very cold
wlnlei. In the Southern States more than
In tho extreme Northern Inhabited coun
tries, per thouMind population. The In
door pl.igue, let ua bay, rather than
"colds." When vou catch the Indoor
plague ou have been handed something
very definite; but when ou "catch cold"
you nierrly have a delusion, It you think
tho great outdoors has nnythlng to do
with it.
Since the b-icterla of the indoor plague
survive best when the nlr Ih warmest, and
since tho human host thrives best when
the nlr Is fairly cool, most people have
learned Instinctively to regulate the In
door temperature by the thermometer,
nnd to keep It between CO and 70 degrees
Fnhrenhelt.
Hut it takes a lot of patience, some
times even unseemly language, to regu
late tho furnace by the thermometer.
And besides thero are often too many
engineers In the family, nnd too many
engineers will put out tho nre.
A thermostat solves tho problem. A
good thermostat costs, Installed, from J30
to JC0, but we venturo to say It is econom
ical, not nlono In Us hygienic aspect, but
ns n fuel saver as well. Hcst of all. It
baves father or. In these days of equal
LUffrage. perhaps mother the painful
labor of rising In tho cold, cold morning
to turn on the drafts.
Figuring on the basis that each attack
of Indoor plague costs a family, on the

XVX creations this season; In fact,
If her clothes nre chosen according
to the latest standards, It la safe
to say thnt all her costumes are
Attractive but there has never
been such n. charming variety of
ttunnlng evening wraps aa those
seen this year, t suppose the best
explanation of tho phenomenon Is
the predominance of fur trim
ming, metallic laces, cloths, tassels
nnd Velvets. Tho broadcloth wrap
Is popular, too, especially for tho
young miss who Isn't officially out
yet. 1'nlo pinks, blues and biscuit
colored cloaks nre trimmed with
whlto fox and mado on simple
lines, Itoso colorings nro decidedly
good, the younger set having
adopted tho flattering shatlo with
enthusiasm, although the older
woman docs well to glance In the
mirror nt her complexion before
sho wears rose loo freely. It Is
a treacherous color for tho unwary,
giving a sickly tlngo to the pate
skin In tho evening light.
When a hat Is worn at nil In tho

This chnpeau has two pale blue

Pcnsnnt Costumes
Tho Dutch type Is a favorllo In
the peasant adaptations, for tho

faille clnsslque, a lustrous ribbed
silk of soft but substantial qunllty.
Tho gnthcred skirt, short enough
to dlsplny a dainty buttoned danc

navy blue velvet, each edged nnr
rowly with skunk fur. There oro
two bodices for every Holland
woman wears bodice upon bodice,
which has much to do with tho
clumsiness of the Dutch llgurc.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Baths and Fever
Plcaso explain in detail why patients
with fever are given Ice-cold baths? This
seems n cruel practice.
Answer Never knew of such a treat
ment. The Urn nd bath treatment of ty
phoia fever Is a good treatment. The
bath Is never below CO degrees V., nnd It
Is usually started at 85 or 00 degrees,
which Is quite comfortable, then gradually
lowered during tho 15 or more minutes by
the addition of pieces of Ico or colder
water; but the thermometer In the tub Is
always under the nurse's eye and tho
water never becomes colder than 00 de
grees, which Is by no means cruel. Active
friction of tho skin throughout the bath
maintains a reaction, and ns n matter of
fact patients enjoy tho apparent "Ice
cold" bath. Hut remember, baths are not
given to bring down fever, but to rouse
the dull nervous system and enliven tho
depressed circulation.
The Best Kind of Corset
Is a high corset or a low ono more
hygienic?
Answer A low one. The less of It the
better.

Business Girls' Club to
Hold a Christmas Sale
Tho Business Girls' Co-operntlvo Club
of West Philadelphia Is rapidly Hearing
Its first anniversary, and so cnthus'ns
tlc nre Its members thnt they nro bend
ing their every effort toward mnklng It
permanent.
More than n year ngo n meeting was
held nt tho rhllomuslnn Club to discuss
n. .irnrr. nt (ho self-supporting girl.
Prominent spenkers woro present nnd the
members of the club becamo so Impressed
with tho meeting thnt they decided to
becomo "doers nnd not hearers ot the
word."
Soon nftcr It was decided to stnrt a
number of self-supporting glils In n
homemaking enterprise which would
make it possible for them to enjoy a real
home; not nn institutional boarding house
where, after having paid their ooaru, mo
girls are subjected to such kindergarten
restrictions that no aelf-rcspcctlng, self
supporting girl will submit to them.
The Phllomuslan Club guaranteed tho
rent uf n house for a year nnd furnished
It. A superintendent, or rather house
mother, was engaged, nnd In a short time
13 girls were enjoying a real home. Those
who live there pay ti a week, which pro
vides them not only with their rooms and
meals, but with their laundry. Tho privi
lege of Inviting n guest to meals by pay
ment of a cents Is also accorded.
U.ich room Is furnished differently nnd
thcro is no look whntcver of nn Institu
tion or even of n boarding house. The
strong Individuality of many of the lu
mutcs Is seen the moment one enters the
rooms.
Thero is a pleasant reception room
whero the girls receive freely their friends
of both sexes.
Tho superintendent, Mrs. Smith, Is ono
of those raie women who la nblo to enter
heartily Into the alms, sorrows nnd plens
ures of n younger generation, nnd re
minds one of nn enthusiastic mother of a
largo family, of daughters.
When one enters tho comfortably heated
houso lind eats one of the excellent meals
thero they look with wonder at a man
agement that can produce so much on
so smnll a sum. Hut tho girls ore not
satisfied, nnd though they havo a great
love for the older club which has made
this home life possible to them, nnd all
feel that tho president, Mrs. D. P. IUch
ardson. Is tho personal friend of each
one, they wish to make tho club entirely
self-supporting.
Kor thnt reason they aro holding a
biilo which represents many a long eve
ning's work after a hard day at the office,
and will also servo tea next Saturdny.
December 4. It Is to be hoped that many
will avail themselves of this opportunity
to purchaso Christmas gifts for their
friends and will come nnd see the house,
which Is situated at 107 South 2Sth street.

AS A WOMAN SEES IT
By RHETA CHILDE DORR
TO RAISC motherhood to the status ot
a profession Is tho ambitious dream of
Julln I.athrop, head of tho Federal Chil
dren's Bureau at Washington. Through
two channels Miss Lathrop expects her
dream to be realized: By the creation
of gradunto schools for training women
in original research Into matters relating
to tho life nnd Interests of tho family
and by studies by the Census Depart
ment Into statistics of the family.
"Motherhood," says Mlsa Lnthrop,
"the most universal nnd essential of em
ployments, remains tho most neglected by
science, a neglect long hidden behind
tradition nnd sentimentality." Little Is
known of Infant mortality, of the de
velopment of children's minds nnd bodies
that might help In determining methods
of lessening this mortality nnd cducntlri
children to their greatest usefulness.
Wo do not know how many children nro
born In the United States, because only
a few States return statistics ot births.
Wo do not know how great Is the In
dustrial employment ot married women,
nor Its effect upon the children nnd fam
ily life. Worst Ignorance of all, wo do
not know what Is tho decent support of
n family or how much It costs to keep
children alive, or how to insure mothers
nnd bnbics ngnlnst death by starvation.
In fact, all we do know Is that children
nro born and their mothers. If they re
main at home and devote themselves to
their families, nre recorded In the census
as N. G. This docs not exactly mean no
good. It means nongalnful, which Is
almost ns Inaccurate a description. In
other words, Instead of being a profes
sion motherhood Is a badly sweated
trade.
If Miss tathrop's plan of departments
of lcscnrch Into maternity nnd family
Ilfo nnd child bearing Is realized wo shnll
no doubt quickly fallow tho example set
by England, Germany and tho Scandina
vian countries nnd establish State ma
ternity Inaurnnce. Tho basis of this is
sickness Insurance. Tho mother Is paid
n sum which enables her to rest for a
short period before childbirth und covers
tho expenses of her confinement. Con
