THERMOMETER TALES.
Dae Patient Sucked tine litttle Inatra
meat and Another Thought It
. Was a Drink.
To people who are fortunately unfa
miliar with sickness the thermometers
used in taking the temperature of pa
tients are always a source of consider
able interest. A professional nurse
whose experience has led her to numer
ous localities and brought her in con
tact with many phases of life tells two
stories which illustrate the foregoing
statement, says the New York Times.
In one of the local hospitals she had a j
male patient who was threatened with j
a run of fever. As she approached his
bedside one morning he querulously
complained of a lack of nourishment.
“I didn’t get enough to eat,” he said.
"I feel almost starved.”
“Well, well,” she said, soothingly,
“we will see about that. Here,” she
added, “let me put this in your mouth.”
She inserted the thermometer be
tween his teeth and turned away a mo
ment. When she looked back he was
working the bulb around between his
jaws at a great rate.
"Hold on!” she cried, "you wui Dreaa ;
the thermometer!”
He drew In his cheeks and apparently
gave a mighty pull on the little instru
ment, and then she removed it.
“Say,” he grumbled, “there’s no use
giving me that. I couldn’t suck a blame ,
thing out of it.”
Another patient, a woman, begged the
nurse for a drink.
“Wait,” said the nurse, and thrust the
thermometer in her mouth.
The patient lay back on her pillow and |
placidly closed her eyes. A satisfied ex- j
pression slowly stole over her face.
When the time wad up the nurse with- '
drew the tube.
"Why,” said the patient, with a sigh
of gratification, “what a lot of good a
little thing like that will do you!”
NEW USE FOR OLD CUPS.
Are Jn»t the Thing for the Mayon
naise Dressing Thinks a
Housewife.
The ingenious woman has discovered
a new use for her old-fashioned cups and
odd cups. They have long been good
for nothing in particular on account of
their large size and because they have
no handles. Yet these big cups are ex
actly the shape of many of the mayon
naise dishes, and may be used to ad
vantage for this purpose, says the
Washington Star.
With the preaching of the doctrines
of salads by the apostles of good health |
there has been an increasing use of let- I
tuce, celery, tomatoes, cucumbers and ,
vegetables of different kinds served cold j
with dressings. In consequence the j
mayonnaise cup has become a staple
article of table service. Many people
prefer the French dressing to the rich- J
er mayonnaise; some a fllrger quanti- I
ty than others. It is advisable to have '
a dish of dressing upon the table, in-1
stead of dressing the individual salad ■
beforehand.
The dishes made for holding mayon
naise are to be found in different shapes.
Some are oblong, like small sauce boats
with a flat rather than a looped han- J
die at the end. Others are round like
cups. They will all hold perhaps a half
pint, and the saucers to match are
round or oblong, according to the shape
of the dish. The round dishes are noth
ing more or less than large cups.
The woman who makes the most of
everything utilizes cups that she has or
picks up at the bargain table, and has
an up-to-date article of table service
with little or no expense.
STYLISH HOME GOWNS.
Popular Material* and De*ign* fo*
Evening and Reception
Wear,
Lace gowns are thought exceedingly
smart for reception wear, and can be
either all black or all white, while there
are some most attractive models in the
black lace over a white or colored lin
ing, says Harper’s Bazar. Black and
white effects, however, are not thought
so smart as they were. Black, white
or colored crepe de chine, crepe de Paris
and the various weaves of crepe are
much in demand for reception gowns,1
but are made up with so much lace that
there does not seem to be any reason
for calling them crepe de chine gowns.
The odd flowered taffeta silks in the
light and most peculiar of shadings are
also in style, with plaited or flounced
skirts. One model of pale mauve and
pink changeable taffeta with flounce
skirt has each flounce edged with the
daintiest flow'ered ribbbon not over an
inch and a half wide. Soft fichus of
chiffon edged with lace ruffles and el
bow sleeves finished also with lace
soften and make more becoming the
rather hard lines that the taffeta some
times possesses in these cold shades of j
coloring.
An all-white gown is the smartest for )
reception wear, and can be In light- j
weight cloth, embroidered silk, crepe de
chine, chiffon or batiste. It may be on ;
severely plain lines or elaborate in ef- ;
feet, with bands of lace, embroidery or
fancy trimming. Only one point is to
be strictly insisted on—it must be be
coming.
Mniilirooni* and Oyater Pie.
Peel, wash and dry one-quarter pound
of fresh mushrooms, and chop them
coarsely. Cook together for three min
utes, stirring constantly, one table- j
spoonful of butter and one level table- ;
spoonful of minced onion. It must not
brown. Add the mushrooms and one j
level teaspoonful of minced parsley.
Cook three minutes more. Mix lightly
with one quart of fresh plump oysters, ;
season to taste, and pour into a deep pie
dish lined with puff paste, and bake in
a good oven until done.—Home Mag
