COMMENT AND GOSSIP AMONG THE WOMEN, BY ONE OF THEM. ‘What a lot of fussing and fuming we have done over the protracted 'hot weather and how disagreeable at times we thought the world just because our hair wouldn’t stay curled and our col- lars would get limp and shapeless. We have grumbled and murmured and deemed our lota most unhappy one, while all the time if we only knew it we had been enjoying the roses and lilies of life, while many of our sisters . an i brothers were battling with the th JI‘DS and briars. One brief period in a hospital con- Vinced the writer that the outside world hadn’t a word to say in protest. The weather might be warm, but there was none of that actual misery that stared in uncompromising severity from every ‘ cot and made its entrance felt with every ring of the, receiving room bell. Not alone was it the actual sufferers who endured the greatest agony. The mothers, fathers, sisters, friends and sweethearts of the unfortunates had to undergo that harrowing mental tor- ture that is even worse than physical . pain. 'Dne man, an Italian, the father of a little wounded girl, grew old and wan and careworn before our very eyes as he paced up and down in an agony of suspense while his one treasure was being etherized. " ' To; see him wring his hands, to watch the great tears fall over the swartb'y cheeks, was to understand something of the misery that for the most part lies hidden from the great . majority. And thena mother, whose little son had been cruelly bitten by a dog until his face had lost all sem- blance of the chubby round baby coun- tenance that had smiled up at her only an hour before: . * Can we,.-._an-y of. us, ,imagine the deS. perate heartwn-ung agony as-she stood by while the cruel stitches Were put in the wound that had killed all trace of infantile beauty and which might re- move altogether her one wee treasure from her arms ‘9 ‘ Would she have grumbled if the thermometer had leaped to 110 if she could have been sure of keeping even the torn and distorted little face 'near her ‘3‘ Ah, no ! The weather was a ~ triviallty. 'This was real trouble and itwas not an unusual oocurrance. It was part of the daily routine of hospi- tal. work.- Nurses and doctors grow stoical even over such caSes. Real misery is thrust ,before their eyes so constantly that they cannot fail to become calloused, but for the capri- cious man or woman who grumbles at a fate in which there is no worse factor than heat or an occasional disappoint- ment a visit to the receiving ward of a hospital is just the lesson they need to teach them the value of their own healthful, happy existence. M gray/$3. affine. AA‘ ‘ Feminine Chat. There is no lesson so hard to learn as that of patience. ' The affection of our friends'is tested in a prolonged illness. Professional etiquette is about as intricate as a Chinese puzzle. It isn’t always the most serious ac- cident that is the most painful. No matter what hour of day or night you travel, you are certain to have company. ' A dog’s bark may be worse than his bite, but there is no danger of hydro- phobia from it. ‘ Bargains are offered everywhere, but we are all most anxious for ther- mometers to be lower. Monday being Labor Day the great majority worked harder than ever seeking pleasure. . A girl of 16 is quite sure that she knows it all. A woman of 30 is equally certain that she doesn’t. To ask to be excused means more as a real out than to have the servant chronicle the hackneyed “not at home.” The returned summer girl was out in full glory of her organdie gown at the opening of the theatres last evening. ' To dwell in a place where the tele- grapht‘office is closedon Sunday may be Arcadian, but it Certainly has its drawbacks. ‘ The woman who has only just taken up bicycling is a good deal like the girl who has but recently gone. in' for t- ,5?" 0. s7 . . I ) . ._ wearing flag pins. The woman who is obliged to make a journey with four children and no nurse cannot truthfully be, said to be traveling for pleasure. '- ‘ "‘ -,_I:Iave you ever noticed how much more fuss a dog makes behind a fence than when he gets out on the road face to face with the cause of his excite- ment. To realize what genuine cripples must suffer from the stares of the rude populace, be obliged to go On crutches for a while, and judge of their feelings in that way as you can in no other. a“.-. 5—.——..— Dainty Sash Curtains. The French have a pretty name for the small sash curtains intended to screen an interior; they call them mys- teries and considerable ingenuity is ex- ercised in their construction and orna- mentation. These little curtains are usually made of mousselaine do sole and three dainty ones are portrayed in the sketch. The first one on the left is turned over at the top, with the flap bordered with guipure lace, with each end‘gracefully bunched up and tied “vex... with a bow of ribbon. The IOwer one is a pale shell pink. finished'at the top with ecrue applications, while the third has a transparency Of poppies in red gauze applied on a white ground. with _ green leaves. These transparencies, by the way, are exceedingly pretty, and charming eflecls may be produced by the use of different colors; even bril- liant specimens of stained glass may be imitated in this way. ‘ ' Small Towels Preferable. - It is the opinion ofone housekeeper that for common family use small-sized towels are preferable. It of course in- creases the weekly laundering, but it is also her experience,she asserts. that- to-wels to 'a losernumber of- thei very large ones. When it comes to Turk- ish-towels, however, theycan hardly. be too large for the bath. . Some of the shops are putting out among their. summer bargains very large-sized . tow- els of this make. They will be found most convenient .to carry Off to sums mer boarding-houses. where the sup-' ply is aptto be limitedand of indiifer-_. ent quality. AS the bath-towels. need no ironing, they are counted in liber- ally by the village laundress and will be found an appreciated comfort of the summer-outing trunk._ A Dainty \Valot. A dainty little waist of French ba- tiste, made up over pale blue taffeta, has'over yoke of open work batiste embroidery, the lattermade quite deep on the sides anid trimmed with a ruf- fle of plain batiste, embroidered at the edge. The bodice proper is made with a slightly bloused effect in front, but fits snugly at the sides and back. The sleeves are close fitting. A crush collar of pale blue taffeta en- circles the neck and the ceiuture is of black velvet. . The hat which accompanies this frock is of cream colored rough straw, adorned with full rosettes of white chiffon over pink mousselaine dc sole and white wings. Bunches of flowers rest on the hair in the back. IA Stylish Corsage. ‘ Elaborate and effective separate waists continue to grow in popular fa.- vor and some lovely models are seen. One of the prettiest waists worn this summer is a pleated rose pink shot tat. feta, made with short bolero jackets of embroidery batiste. Two straps of black velvet extend across the front, while a double bow finishes the joining of the bolero caught in the center with a dull gold buckle. The sleeves are slightly mousque- taire and the collar is formed of soft folds of the silk with a lace frill in [the back. A stylish little toque of black satin straw, adorned with wings and pale pink roses gives a fetching touch to this pretty waist. Locusts are an article of food in parts of Africa, Arabia, and Persia, of such importance that the price of pro- vision: is influenced by the quantity of the dried insects on hand. . WANTED.
