(Spe- Patsy of the Practice House" has been introduced the past week to a new group of nix girl students, each of whom will be her nursemaid for one week in the period of six weeks during which they are in the practice house. Patsy Is the 18-months-old baby being kept for the girls taking the course in household management to care for, in learning the duties of a housewife and mother. Six girls live in the practice house at one time, each group staying for a period of six weeks. During part ol this time each girl occupies all of the several duties connected with the management cook, assistant cook. waitress, manager, laundress and nursemaid. Each office is held a week by each girl and these offices rotate among the girls. Miss A. Grace John son, professor of household manage ment, presides over the girls, making her home in the house, which was the late Governor Withycombe's resi dence. Each Girl Takri Chance. With the coming of Patsy six weeks ago to be the first "practice baby" ever kept in a western college, the office of nursemaid was necessitated. During her period of duty as nurse maid each girl has complete charge of the baby, dressing her, clothing and feeding her and tending her laundry. No other, girl is allowed to help, and no "baby -talk" or other un authorized entertaining is permitted. Mrs. Margaret Todd, Patsy s mother, was among the students finishing their course and she has been nurse maid during this week. She has moved back to Waldo hall, where she is to reside until the end of the first quarter before leaving college to take up a teaching position. Patsy looks bewildered in the group picture, partly because it is unusual for her to have dinner with the "family." Ordinarily her meal times I An nnt pnrrocnnn H u-ftri thnA nf thfl ' p-iT-lj u n rl thin Kunrlav dinner scene la nnA nf nnrtlrulstr nnvpltv In hpr. I Needless to say she is enjoying it thoroughly. Theory Studied by ilrl. In the course in household manage ment, women students learn the theory of all that pertains to house keeping and house details, and in their stay in the practice house they get the opportunity to actually put Into practice the theory. The inno vation of Patsy is the last word in furnishing the girls with the means of getting practical training. Not only can they learn how to care for a baby, but they are responsible for her conduct and must keep her from becoming spoiled. A gift of more than $700 has been made to the practice house by the Ore gon commission, from the organiza- I tion in charge of the tea rooms in the thought that rugs will be obtained ni-o-nn Huiiriinc at the Panama-Pa- first from the donation. cific International exposition.

He feared that someone might take it for a souvenir "and that would be a pity." One of my fellow passengers was a, soldier whose right eardrum had been destroyed by a bomb. When I told him I had been nursing he made a very kind remark T can assure you that each nurse did more for her country than the test fighting man we had in the army." We are still enjoying, in a milder form, the food privations of peace in riKe-time. We are now allowed an etttra half unce of butter a week and two mora ounces of supar. The lack of butter and butter-fats as been a very real deprivation for ears. It is said to be responsible for a 2 per cent increase of tuber- ulosis and also for the terrible epi- emic of influenza last year. Clothes Are HuMtlh.

My only war-time ideal in hoes and stockings was to get the ormer big enough to provide tired eet with room to swell and the latter trong enough to defy holes that I ad no time to mend. Now I pine for the beauties of life. Of course I came in for my inevit- ble patient during the strike. A street accident this time. The poor man "was run over by a and cart and had a fractured femor and a badly lacerated forearm. I stood by until the ambulance ar- ived and meanwhile commandeered blankets and hot milk from a iiousa nearby. When the ambulance came I helped to apply the splint before he was moved. N. B. Got my only respectable skirt all over bloodstains. The last news I had of him was hat he was "doing well" in the gen eral hospital. ' Pa reel of Woolens Arrives. A long delayed parcel of woolies reached me yesterday from Portland via France. It was sent off in time for Christ mas 191$ and has been all this time on the way. It is now here in good time for Christmas, 1919. Curiously enough a friend of mine in France came across this parcel quite by chance and said: "Oh, I know an Kdit h Lanyon. I wonder if it could be the same one." She wrote to my address on the parcel to see if I were still in Kngland and then for warded the parcel. It is a welcome find as it contains 0 pairs of woolen socks, as well as other comforts, a little musty, but otherwise none the worse for their long imprisonment. I am going to Scarbrough next week and will take them to the Sea men's mission, there to be given to men who have served in the navy. Most of the fishermen were mine sweeping during the war. Many shipwrecked bailors were cared for at this mission and they are always glad of a gift of warm clothiug, new or second-hand. Old Krlends Gone. Yesterday morning I went down to the infirmary to look up my old friends, to find that most of them had gone away. Matron was in Scotland on a holi day. "Sister Downstairs" and the staff nurses were all new. "Sister Upstairs" was an old friend. but I only knew two of the nurses. There was not even a patient whom I remembered. At last I went down to the "out -patients' department" to see if I could not find at least one out-pat ient I knew, but there was not a familiar one there. How things do change, to be sure! Two women house surgeons are now on duty in place of the Indian doctors we had in my day and all the honorary surgeons back from the war are working with redoubled zeal. "Kleven or twelve operations every day," so the theater nurse told me. "Now D is back, he never thinks of starting for less than eight." German Wants Insurance. Germans are remarkable. A man I knew who is manager of an insurance company, said lie just had an application from Germany for the insurance money of a German soldier insured in h is company who was killed in battle in 1914 by an Englishman. The father was very pained when his modest request was refused and suggested that he must at least have the premium money back. This was paid in July. 1914. A nice state of affairs if the Brit ish companies had to par the insur- ance money on all the German sol diers the British army killed during the war! ENGLAND SOON NORMAL AFTER RAILWAY STRIKE IS ENDED Food StiU Somewhat Limited Clothes Very Expensive and "Utter Rubbish" 1918 Christmas Package Arrives. DONC Oc wa BY EDITH LAN VOX. ONCASTER, -Oct. 13. On Sunday, October 5, the railway strike as over as suddenly and unex pectedly as it began and the end was accepted with the eame nonchalance. People really behaved very well. The British are queue-abiding people. A duke who tried to get ahead of his rightful place in a queue would be quite as unpopular as a scavenger who did the same thing. A railway man who tried to push into a crowded bus to ride home in stead of going by train was promptly thrown out by the justly indignart passengers. A busy transport man late A. S. C). was charmed to overtake a stranded motor-lorry full of fish and to dis cover that the man lying beneath it and covered with fishy drippings from his load, was his late commanding officer! The ex-C. O. was trying in vain to fix it, so the ex-prlvate gave a helping hand and started him on his way rejoicing. Life during the strike was a real Indian summer to those war-like saula who had feared that the excitements of war were over forever. One stout major was a volunteer porter at Paddington station. He drove over in a taxi to his ciuo at luncn time and then returned to his work like a giant refreshed. Peer IJ rives Engine. Lord Montague of Beaulteu drove an engine from Bournemouth to Lon don in a highly satisfactory manner. I now quote an announcement from a London newspaper: "Animals and the strike! The coun cil of the R. S. P. C.

The council hope that in the cases where the R. S. P. C. A armlets were issued the possessors will keep them as a memento of the strike. Our motor transport service did wonderful work. Fish brought by mo tor straight from the sea to the con sumer tias proved so much more sat isfactory without the tiresome rail Grape Juice Is Excellent Sherry Substitute. flavor When I wed in Coofvlns; Is Much Like TanfC of Wine. way delays, and so much fresher that it is to continue to travel that way. London newspapers and letters no longer drop down to us from heaven like manna (under the auspices of the Royal Flying corps), but travel prosaicly by rail, as before. It was the most unpardonaoie striKe that ever was. One had only to read the government posters to realize that. Posters Pasted Side by Side. The government posters and the posters of the strikers were pasted up side by side in dumb appeal to the public. Railway men will be looked upon with coldness by the long suffering public for some time to come and shiling tips will be few and far be tween. I suggest that the reason Thomas was cheered and Geddes hissed when they left the conference at 10 Down ing treet, was because the Thomas ites were loafing about whilst the Geddesites were busy away at work doing the loafers jobs. An engine driver told one of our maids that he would give five shill ings to the first person who would tell him that the strike was over. The king traveled the 547 miles from Balmoral to London by motor car, starting on Friday morning, spending the night in Cumberland and getting to London on Saturday evening. The aversion to luggage lasted most of the week, but I managed to tear myself away from my intern ment in Birmingham on the Friday. It was quite an uneventful journey to Doncaster, but the railway car riages were packed like sardine tins. The porters were most attentive EVERY right-minded housewife is glad that prohibition has come for the sake of the many thousands of wives, and of mothers of sons whose lives will be happier now. But where is the housewife who does not give a sigh of regret for those de licious "eats" which used to be flav ored with a tablespoon ful or so of sherry? Though everybody does not know it white grape juice is an ex cellent substitute tor sherry as a sea soning. It gives a flavor much like the tang that sherry gives and the pure white grape juice will add no tinge of pink or lavender to your cream sauce or Ntwburg. For a delicious lobster Xewburg put a good tablespoon of butter into the chafing dish and when melted add one and a half cups of boiled lobster meat, a quarter teaspoonful of salt and paprika to taste. Keep turning the lobster until it has absorbed all the butter, then add half a cup of white grape juice and cook four minutes longer. Have ready a cup of cream and the beaten yolks of two eggs. Pour the cream into the eggs and add the mixture slowly to your cooked lobster. Stir until well thickened ai:d serve immedia tely. Even that old standby, "Tipsy Par son" pudding, can be mad without the sherry which seasoned it so agree ably. Put good-sized pieces of stale cake in individual glass cups. Maku a boiled custard and season it with white grape juice. Stir in crushed macaroons or finely chopped walnut meats. Pour over the pieces of cake. Set to cool and before serving cover each small pudding with a light mer ingue made of the beaten whites ar.d powdered sugar.
