It is often very difficult to keep a patient cheerful. One very caully tires of doing anything in bed, and ing booka ull day is extraordinarily tiring on the eyes, particularly if one in kept on one's back and also in ciderly patients whose eyesight is nnt good.

In very nervous individuals, or people who are seriousty ill, it often best for them to be disturbed na little as possible. But otherwise it is a good thing to let them see their friends, so that they can talk of those tuntiers that interest them.

FRECKLES AND HIS FRIENDS

ALL BY HIMSELF

AN IN-BETWEEN COSTUME.

histor-A Liber

[By Joun Savoy.J

There is a culume whieh even beutifully dressed women after find themselves lacking these days. It is that in-between costume that can be called cocktail dress, the tea costume, or the informal dining-and-dancing freek.

What you really mean by any of those titles is a costume Hud makes you look as if you had on the ideal apparel for whatever peri- lon it is. To make it perfectly ideal, it should be something that you can wear from five in the afternoon until the wee hours the west morn-

But for

Not that any chance carlume will do for a formal party. any of thugs evening dates you might accumulate the tast minute-- dancing, dining, the theatre--one of these in-between costumes should by perfect,

This year there is in need of paying a fortune for any eastume. You can get clothes that are charming and most appropriate for small price, and should.

A perfect example of the in-between costume is a binek and white combination. It will stand you in good stend for cocktails and dinner after the football game, for an at-home some of your friends are. riving for a tea party you yourself might give or for dinner and the evening

The top is elegant, gleaming white sutin, with short sleeves. It is cut surplice and makes a darlug little waistcoat effect in front, with dainty white dalsies to take away any mannish effect. The back of the neck is one of those that is slit part way down and fastened right at the neckline with a pearl ornament, so it can be opened to make a smart law-necked effect, or kept shut to give it tallored chic. The skit is black crepe satin, cut in flattering lines. It is the new escape-the-floor length, a most satisfactory length for many ocen

xions.

If you wear black opera pumps with fi, a little evening hat of jel or velvet or satin or anything fancy and a jacket of binck, you are all set for almost any event of the past-naon hours.
