Home Economics Patient Gets New Quarters Move i3 tq Save Anna Belle’s Wavy Complexion ! Homo Economics Patient—I) | Good, gracious, Anna Belle, the | patient who lives in the home econ j omics building, has been moved ■from her regular room on the south side of the building to one on the | north side, because of too much sun in her old room. Anna Belle has a face of wax ! which can not withstand the rays j of the sun, and hence the shift. ITer present location is in the room : which adjoins the kitchen, and even such tempting odors as dough nuts and fritters never make her 1 complain. “She’s certainly a model patient,” Miss Gillian Tingle said, “for even the handling that she receives from | the members of the home nursing class never causes her to say a word.” Many plumbers, janitors, and [others have been frightened at the sight of Anna Belle, peacefully resting in her bed, before they dis cover that she is only a dummy patient who is not startled by ex clamations of intruders into the sick room.
