BELL and PAUL M. COPE. Props. Laura. A Kirkman Is Your Kitchen a Pleasant Place to Be In? ‘We housekeepers spend more time in the kitchen than in any other room in the house. And we should realize the importance of having this working spot a place that Is soothing to our nerves. We all know how eagerly we dress and leave our doorstep to go and call upon some friend we really like—and how reluctantly we prepare to make a “duty call” upon some one we do not like. It is the same with our kitchen. Unconsciously, we shrink from entering a kitchen that is unattractive and drab- colored. How can we make our kitchens pleas- anter? First, we can keep them scrupulously clean. We can have gleaming white oilcloth on all wood sur- faces. We can have crisply starched white curtains at the windows. Secondly, we can have our kitchens arranged for working efficiency. All surfaces should come to the house- keeper's waist ling This is_easily achieved for the small woman; but tall women- will have to have their tables raised on props beneath the legs and have the sink raised. “But I can’t afford to have a plumber come and raise my sink,” I can hear some readers saying as they read this. That will not be necessary, however, if the housekeeper will raise her dishpan in the sink by standing it on a wire drainer or on another pan, when she uses it She will find that she will not get as tired at her work if all surfaces are made level with her waist line. Then there are those details which make the housekecpers work seem lighter and without which no kitchen should be considered complets. One of these things is a stool to sit on while beating_up cakes, paring fruit or vege- tableu,‘\,r doing 'any “other task which could possibly be done sitting down. What's the use of making martyrs of ourselves when we can make thini easier by having a stool to sit on? An ordinary artist’s high stool will do; or a baby's high-chair, with the back and arms cut off, will answer as well. Another device which makes our work, easier is a rubber mat before sink and’ stowe. These rubber mats act like rub- ber heels on’the shoes—they are shock- absorbers. They make standing easier. Just ap ordinary rubber doormat will do, or ond of the cork mats on the market. And, lastly, let us get a little color into our kitchens! Let us have them a little bright and gay. A blooming ge- ranium in the window—a hanging pot filled with some bright plant—a window box garden in the spring and summer— any of these things will catch the weary eve and give us an unconscious feeling of gladness. A bright calendar on the wall will also help. % The housekeeper who is blessed with a roomy kitchen may turn it into a Dutch kitchen by having Dutch curtains at the windows; a brass kettle here and there ; rag rugs on the floor; and a rock- ing chair, desk and other pieces of fur- niture, which will make it a sort of sit~ ting room and kitchen combined. 1t pays to be good to ourselves in the matter of equipping and furnishing our kitchen. For our work is done so much more thoroughly and so much more will- ingly, if we love the place we work in Try CLARENDON Hotel All rooms with hot and eold running water: private baths. Al¥ays Open.

I can't take it out of a drinking glass,” she said, and turned her head away. Bxasperated, her sister-in-law, who was doing duty for the trained nurse, then out for her daily walk, slammed the glass down on the table. The sick woman jumped nervously and burst into tears. : “That nurse has got you spoiled. ‘We won't be able to do a thing with you when she goes. And the sooner she goes the better. 1 never see her doing a thing but sitting reading, or sometimes poaching you an egg. As for lemons and oranges, and using the best pillow slips, and slipping a flower off my plants without even s0 much as by your leave, I'm just about sick of trained nurses.” Just an Average Woman. And turning away from the sick- room, the sister-in-law, who was quite an average woman and inclined to say more than she meant, en- countered the nurse on the thresh- hold of the sickroom. There was a quiet brightness in her eyes that was not altogether caused by the spring winds. The sick woman continued to weep, audibly. The sister-in-law slunk— slunk being the best word under the circumstances—from the room, and the ‘nurse, taking up the heavy, smeary glass, in the bottom of which was a spoonful of crimson liduid, fol- lowed her. She closed the door as she came into kitchen, but her voice was quite pleasant as she said, “You were speaking of me when I came in. Don’t you think it was rather thought- less of you to make my patient cry when I°was out? It's not in the least good for her, either. I think we shall simply do as the doctor has suggested more than once—take her to the hospital There at least she will have peace and sympathy, and proper care.” “Sympathy? Who ever heard of sympathy in a hospital?”’ began the woman noisily. “Were you ever in a hospital?” said the nurse, coldly, emptying the dis- carded medicine into the sink, wash Fads and Fancies.

I on Srasnie Never il be if' T can help it muttered the woman. “Yet y‘;u talk as if you really knew something about it,” said the nurse, as if talking to herself. She said no more. Which was very maddening from the other womap's standpoint. The tiny glass in which the patient always had her medicine was stand- ing on a tray. Set with her- own dishes and covered with a snmowy table napkin, it stood on the kitchen dresser. Sister-in-Law Impatient. Measuring the medicine into it, the nurse cut a slice of orange, slit it so that it slipped down on the rim of the glass, placed a clean glass of cold water on the tiny medicine tray, and moved toward the door. “Spoiling her, that's what you're doing,” muttered the sister-in-law. who had never been ill, turning a approving back upon the nurse. The next day the village van was at the door and the sick waman was moved to the hospital. There she made a good recovery in a bright, cheery ward where there was more real sunshine than she had ever ex- perienced in her life. Her eyes grew bright witl interest in a world that moved on rubber heels; a world of blue and white striped ginghams and crisp aprons. And when there was a rent in an apron or an operating room gown to be hastily stitched, it was to her bedside that the nurses were to be found flying, sure always of #a threaded needle, of fingers quavering with eagerness to aid. “I don’t know where the days go to. The hours are so full and never a4 cross word or a nasty remark from one dhy to another.” Thus she spoke to her nurse one night as the lights were being switched off throughout the wards. “It's part of the secret of malkin, folk _better. ~ Kindliness and under: standing mean more than medicine often,” whispered the nurse. “But if I must have medicine, I want it in a clean glass,” said the woman. “T never realized how much little things mean when one is The nurse was smiling to herself in the dark, though she said nothing.
