the tiniest pleco of china that decorates tho
dainty trays tho nurses carry to their pa

The small sugars aro encased In paper
wrarjDers: slices of bread aro wrapped In
neat paper bags; the linens on the trays
are as dainty and as charming as you
could get in your own home It's a kitchen
that would turn the housewife green with
envy.
The genius of tho whole arrangement Is
Miss Gllson herself. Clad In her pretty palo
pink and white uniform and her white linen
curse's cap, she Is as dainty as the food
he orders. Every week she takes a class
of nurses Into tho kitchen and gives them
practical demonstrations In the science of
dietetics. Sho knows all about metabolla
diets, and protelds. and soft diets, and
liquid diets, and all the other mysterious
things that never enter tho average person's

has cheapened herself beyond redemp
tion. Shades of Betsy Ross and Molly
Pitcher! Is kissing nigh onto a thousand
troopers an exemplification of feminine
patriotism? I should hato to bollevo it.
I don't bellovo It.
' I bellovo Instead that It shows a certain
young woman to havo had a too unre
stricted upbringing. It donotes a will
ingness on her part to sacrifice a flno
rcservo which Is or should be a part of
ovory woman's make-up, for a cheap and
temporary notoriety.
Doubtless sho afforded tho hundreds of
young men whom sho favored a great deal
of fun, and much food for conversation
on their southward Journey, but I ques
tion if sho gave them any of thoso dell
clous sentimental, emotional thrills that
are tho sine qua non of tho kiss. Perhaps,
after nil, her debasement of tho Mas

Is tho worst chargo to bo brought against
her.
Upon sober reflection, tho guardsmon
probably woro unanimous In their opin
ion that tho Clcarfleld young woman was
"somo girl." Few, It la safo to predict,
thought a socond tlmo 6f her as tho ono

One doesn't have to be a college graduate
to bo a good dietitian. Miss Gllson didn't
go to college; aha took her degree In do
mestlo science, from tho Boston Cooking
School, and studied the practical work In
Detroit. A hospital Is tho only place to
learn real hospital food regulations, she de
clares. And It Is through her efforts that
pupil dietitians get instruction at Jefferson,
which la the only hospital In Philadelphia
that does this work nt present.
Each private case gets a well-arranged,
well-cooked diet Tho work of preparing
this for the private patients Is not trusted
to a cook; the nurses do It under Miss
Gllson'a direction. They take turns, cook
ing meats and vegetables, preparing broths
and cereals, and hae to study as well. In
order to pass the State boards.
"No. I've never had a pupil 'flunk yet,"
she tells you modestly, although you can
see that her classes nre the joy of her
Ufa and the applo of her eye. "They get
tho practical work first and then the theo
retical. I think that makes things easier.
"People are inclined to eat too much of
tho right thing rather1 than to eat the
wrong thing. I've discovered, for Instance,
wo eai jess meai in me summer time, as
we should, but then we make up for It
by eating too many overripe fruits. An
oyerripe fruit Is as bad for a person as an
underripe fruit, you know. Salads, green
vegetables, custards and very little meat
Is the best summer fare, that Is for the
average person in good physical condition.
"In a hospital everything depends upon
the case Itself and the malady you are
treating. A nephritlo person avoids certain
food combinations, a dlabetlo requires oth
ers. Then some of the diets have to be
weighed to the finest point, ana their re
sults tabulated. This is work for the expert
dietitian. She has to know what to give

Tho abovo quotntlon Is from La Fol
lette's Magazine. It Is a statement mailo by
Theodore J. 'Wcrlc, a man who operates a
twentieth century open-air medlclno show.
"Wcrle has a rather heavy, very substan

scat. Behind him sits his lantern operator.
Strapped to tho machine Is a bundlo In
which ho has a few supplies, a tent, a pro
jection lantern and slides, a curtain, and a
lot of posters, handbills and circulars.
With this outfit ho reaches corners of the
country not caslty ncccsslble by railroad.
Whenever ho runs ncf083 a crowd at a
country Etore ho Btops, unpacks, sets up
his Inntern, shows soma pictures, gives a
lecturo, distributes somo circulars, tacks up
somo posters nnd moves on.
Or ho runs Into a crossroads town. He
stops and parks his motorcycle. Tho crowd
takes languid notice. He puts up his tent
Tho crowd begins to gather around. He
hangs his curtain .against tho sldo of a
store. Interest and curiosity Increase. He
distributes his circulars, sticks up his
posters, and announces his meeting. He
adopts all of the methods of tho old-tlmo
medlclno faker, except tho medlclno and
tho faking.
"When ho has caught tho attention of the
careless and indifferent ho begins his story.
In the main his story relates to how to live
so as not to get consumption. Incidentally
he tells them what should causa ono to
suspect that ho has consumption. Or he
may talk about ventilation or school hygiene.
He started out on ono campaign with
several thousand patterns for baby dresses.
Ho called at homes of farmers and country
merchants distributing patterns free and

Tho bottom is finished with a frlngo of palo

of theso things Is distinctive It's tho top
that makes you gasp. For right at tho

something else equally hacknoyed, there's n
tiny cage, with tho cutest llttlo red bird in
It you over sawl
Whether this odd llttlo bag has "started

or parrots on our slippers by tho fall. Tho

a navy bluo georcette frock? 1 think the spots
aro machlno oil spots, for I havo never worn
tho dress. Also, would you tell me what kind
ot slippers to wear with a drees ot this kind?
T. 1J. O.
Do not uso warm water on machlno oil
spots, It sets thorn. Tho best way to re
move them Is to lay tho fabric with tho
spot on It faco downward on a thick cloth ;
then swab gently with a peaco of cotton
tied In not and saturated with gasoline
Keep away from llro. Describe a ring with
jour swab very lightly around the spot
and work Inwards and your materlnl won't

Dear Madam My orsandle collar and cuff

Instead of the organdie? Tour ndvlro will bo

Almost everything will get wilted In tho
warm weather. Not looks well, and doos
not require starching. Try using a tea
spoonful of sugar Instead of starch tho
next tlmo you do your collars and cuffs.
It works Just as well and is less troublo.
Dear Madam T hae almost finished a dress,
tho pattern of which calls for braldlnc on the
blouse and collar. 1 have no machine, but am
good at hand eewlnc. Do you think I could
do the braiding without spoiling the effect ot tho
dress? Hwo do you go about It? ANXIOUS.
I am suro you will do tho braiding very
well, for It Isn't hard. Sew the braid with
small running stitches through the centre
of tho braid, using an occasional back
stitch to mako It moro secure. Or you
can whip the braid down at one edge, If
you want It to stand out It Is not nec
essary to baste the braid down, but bo
careful not to draw It tightly around
curves and when you turn corners.
Hidden Flame
I feed a flame within, which so torments me
That It both pains my heart, and yet con

'TIs such a pleasing smart, and I so love It,
That I would rather die than once remove It.

While conceal my love no frown can fright

To be moro happy I dare not aspire.

Cut the feet oft a dozen or so clean old

Can you help me out? And does the Corner
agree with the sentiment? T .11. O.
I cannot placo your quotation, unless this
Is what you want:
"Whon all tho blandishments of life aro
gone,
Tho coward sneaks to death; tho bravo
llvo on."
It Is a translation of George Sowoll from
Martial, a Latin poet who died In tho sec
ond century A. D. Tho sentiment Is Just
and truo, whoover said It first Tho Ir
reparable crlmo of sulcldo la tho act of a
weak coward.

In my turn? And could ou suscestn. nnmo for
our club? IMeaao answer in tho Corner, and
obilra ono of tho ten. num.
As you meet In tho evening, you would
pcrhapa like a menu for a llttlo supper.
Havo broiled chicken, mufllns or hot bis
cuits, and French fried potatoes for tho
first course. Then a salad of lcttuco and
raw tomatoes, crackers nnd cheese. Sorvo
French dressing with the salad. Lastly
have lco cream nnd cake. Tea and coffee
aro served with tho first course. This Is a
good. If simple meal. Do not bo enticed
by tho thought of excelling tho rest Into
providing elabornto refreshments. Emula
tion of this kind fa the ruin of many a
club. What do you think of calling your
selves "Tho Declma?" "Decimal," means ten,
you know. Tho namo Is descrlptlvo and un
assuming. An Odd Fellow's Kcgnlia
I have In my possession an Odd Fellow's
regalia which muit be between JO and (10 years
old. I shculd llko to dlsposo of it. Could you
tell mo where to find a placo to write to, nnd
how to do this?
I fnncy that some lodgo of Odd Follows
might llko to havo tho regalia, particularly
If thoro bo any story atsoclntod with It
that may Intorest members of the order to
which the deceased once twiongea. inis is
more guesswork on my part. Some one
better versed In tho history of secret orders
will answer through tho Corner.
When Paid a Compliment
Wben a compliment Is paid to me In any way,
how am 1 to receive It? For Instance. 1 am
said to sing well, and pieople say flattering
things after my songs. Am I to say "lou flat
ter mo." or something else in tho line of a
disclaimer? It is a puule to know how to aold
the nppearnneo of conceit without seeming un
gracious. Help mo to a middle course.
IId.lr4 M. c
Say "Thank you I" "You aro very kind !"
"I nm glad If I havo given yon pleasure"
or simply bow and smile with "I am glad
you like that song. It la a favorito of
mine." Don't try to think up graceful
speeches. Act naturally! It Is a pleasuro
to bo assured that you havo dono well.
Do not be afraid to show that you value
the praise bestowed upon worthy effort.
On an Invitation
Will you please let me know what "n. 8. V.
P." on a birthday party invlatlon means?
II. II.
It means "Repondez, s'il vous plait," the
English translation of which Is, "Answer,
If you pleaso." Tho letters aro appended
to Invitations requiring a reply. Usually
the hostess wishes to know something
definite as to the number of guests who
may surely be expected and prepared for.

Wearing a Corset
Does a corset Injure n person's health? Can
A person keep one's shapo without It? I shall
look for nn answer In tho Corner.
. . . . FLOHA C.
I might write pages nnd pages upon tho
subject without exhausting the possibilities
of tho discussion. It is practically endless
In the opinion of women who wear corsets
and with those who believe them to be
enemies of health and beauty. As one whoso
memory runs back to the day of tight
lacing and wasp-llko waists, let mo say
that, In my humble Judgment, tho prejudice
for you may call It "principle," If you llko)
ngnlnst the corset had Its origin in the
nbuses of tho dead and gono time, rather
than In the use of what wo know to bo
a different garment. Nobody laces tightly
nowadays. "Our "girl." In her own phrase,
"goes in for athletics" golfing, swimming,
running, riding and tramping tho hills at
her brother's or comrade's Bldo, all summer
long. Sho skates In winter and exerciser
habitually to keep In training. Bho laughs
to scorn tho hour-glass figures displayed
In old fashioned plates. Her flguro Is as
nature nnd proper physical training havo
made It Her corsets nre fitted easily and
comfortably to her, following tho lines of
health nnd beauty. They do not hamper
health and action In tho least. They do
protect tho softer portions of her frame
from tho weight of skirts nnd help keep
the splno straight besides preserving tho
artistic effect of her gowns. Tho lungs,
stomach, nnd tho abdomen are not cramped
In tho least. This Is tho corset of tho
twentieth century, a thing bo unlike tho
stiff, unyielding creation of former nges as
not to bo recognizable under tho name. I
could rclato tragic tales of tho cvlli wrought
by buckram, steel nnd vhnlobono upon
health ahd llfo Itself which Justify all tho
anathemas heaped upon tho corset by doctors
nnd philanthropists. We return thanks for
tho Improved methods of tho present day,
which havo abolished tho nnclcnt menaco to
womanhood and to tho rnco In general.
Fried Parsley
Fried parsley Is a novel recipe, and
makes a nice dressing for meats, etc. Wash,
pick and dry a bunch of parsley; put It
Into the frying haBket and fry In hot fat
until crisp. Drnln, sprinkle with salt nntl
pepper. It should bo a green color; If black.
It has been In tho fat too long.
