If you are a member of one of the Red Cross home-nursing classes these 'lays you j know what the trainings means, but there may still be a few unenlightened ones who still cling to the idea that to be a war nurse means simply the donning of ' a becoming nurse's uniform and of performing du ties no heavier, than smoothing some (masftuline) sufferer's brow. , Let me tell yot that there is a far mort seri ous side to it than that. ' One of the home-n'ur9irig classes of ! the ity, whose instructor ts Miss J. E. Graham, head nurse at the Presby terian hospital, had to witness an ap pendicitis operation at this hospital Monday, the operation being per formed by Dr. L. A. Dermody. It was not a pleasant experience, i assure you. As the members of the class are some of the prominent young girls and matrons, many social en gagements were canceled Tuesday as a result of the morning's harrowing experience. I think you will agree with me that the brow smoothing stunt is quite ob solete and that in these strenuous times the would-be nurses must deal with facts or, rather, appendixes. If you really wish to know what the sensations are while watching an op eration you might ask any of the fol lowing young women: Miss Margaret Baum. Miss Grace Allison, Miss Flor ence Neville,' Miss Regina Cdnnell, Miss Hedwig Rosenstock, Mrs. Fred eric Rosenstock, Mrs. R. L. Hamilton, Mrs. Carlisle Whiting or Mrs. Arthur Rothschild. .

Changes in the heads of depart ments were sanctioned at Tuesday's meeting.

At a concert given for the benefit of the soldiers who have been blinded in the war, In Buffalo, Sunday even ing, Edmund Grasse, the distinguished blind violinist, assisted by Mrs. Philip E. Metz, soprano, gave the program. Some of the society girls of Buf falo acted as ushers for the affair. Regarding Mrs. Metz' part in the programme Buffalo Courier says: "Mrs. "Norma Mack Metz, a charm ing young soprano, was a lovely pic ture in a rose satin and tulle gown, as she "appeared upon the stage es corted by Dr. von Bergen. Her sim ple, unaffected manner and clear, sweet voice with its fresh lyric tones made all her numbers delightful, which Included 'Si Mes Vers Avaient des Allies,' by H. plough Leighter; also the aria, 'Vissi d Arte, by Puc cini, which she gang with intelligence of a finely schooled singer. "As an extra Mrs. Metz sang "The Long, Long Trail' and, recalled for an encore, repeated the chorus, in which she asked a number of young people present to join, and the effect of youthful voices, in which hers stood out lpvely and clear, was charming. She was given a handsome basket of roses."

The money from the sale of them will go to the fund for high school boys who are now in the serv ice of Uncle Sam. Paper and magazines will be col lected during the remainder of the week as the first step toward raising the fund. Other lines of economy and service will be emphasized next week. Thirty-four ' boys have, pledged themselves to earn $10 each and do nate it to the Young' Men's Christian association fund. This will bring the total given by teachers and pupils of the school up to about $750.. The Technique of Miladtfs .Fan What can be done with a fan has been the themf of poets, essayists, novelists and rhapsodists the world over, and ladies had better brush up on these authorities, for fans arc com ing back. Judging by the Broadway ! plays, says the iew York hvening I Mail, which are always a fairly straight steer on coming fashions, the ibid leather fan is blowing back to nnnnlir favnr in a whirlwind. 1 he ostrich feather fan, the fan made of three four big plumes, or even the quill fan, are quite being done. But ovices beware. Just having a fan isn't more than half the battle. Give an expert a large ostrich feather fan, and she can get away with murder in the first degree, but the same fan in the hands of an untried debutante will be a stumbling block. Don't try to do a thing with that fan till you have watched and practiced privately. Most women, coining into possession of a beautiful fan, will be prompted by natural vanity ti prac tice privately. If you carry a (an into a drawing room for the first time, you will have a bad minute wondering what to do with it, and you will never have the nerve to wave it slowly and con fidently during a telling conversation not, that is. unless you are the "type that had a Spanish mother." Won- i dering what you are supposed to do with it when you obviously are not too : warm wilt cramp your style for a ! whole evening. You'll feel as if you hart Drought an alligator wit.i you, and that everyone has got his eye on it, and is wondering what you think you are doing with it. The approaching charity ball will be an event of the season and milady should begin her fan rehearsals early.

Advice to Lovelorn By BEATRICE FAIRFAX. , tteclar Your Lov. Dear Mlsa Fairfax: Tour answer will, at four rolndi at ease, and will probably bring about a aenaibla continuation of rtendhlp. A baa been going with Mlaa B lor two year isrlouiily and their engagement was not ta have been tar off. One night Ml B had an unexpected visit from her chum, Mlsa C, while A waa present with her. They spent a pleasant evening home. Miss B offered to take Mies' C as far as the station, mean while knowing that her fiance could not conveniently tafte the subway to his home, and not wishing to put blm to trouble unnec essarily. However, A suggested that be would walk as far as the subway with the girls and sines he must travel by "L." would pass Miss B's borne anyhow, thereby bringing her home again. , By the time farewells bad been spoken A, noticing how late it was, asked bis fiancee It she would mind if he wuld go home by subway. Miss B, astonished, said of course she would, and that she, never went home alone so late. He was undecided as to which course to take, when Miss B declared that she wouldn't go home with him If he wanted her to, and wanted' noth ing else to do with him. Meantime Miss C went Into a train with A and when her station came, he offered to take her home, which she accepted. She called her friend, Miss B, up the next day to tell her so. whereupon Miss B said It didn't matter to her, that she doesn't cars anything for A, and that she notified him of her feelings. Since then A Is visiting Miss C, but the latter Is no longer friendly with Miss B. I am an old friend of Miss B and have loved her for some time, but have nsver dared approach her on (he subject, knowing her attitude toward A. Now then, Mlas Fairfax, I would put the following queries: 1. Did A do right in the first place by offering to take ht fiancee homo and then neglecuto do so? . Did Miss B's anger justify itself? 3. Did Miss C do right in allowing A to take her borne while her chum (and his ostensible sweetheart) went home alone? 4. Is Miss B justified In refusing Miss C's friendship? t. May I now declare my attitude toward Miss B? W. B. R. 1. No, A did not do tbe right thing at all. He was lazy and Impolite and failed to keep bis word to the girl he loved. t. Miss B might have done better to con trol herself more thoroughly. Good nature might easily have solved the situation. J. Miss C seems to' have acted In a slight ly "catty" manner, but I don't believe she meant any real barm. None of these are real problems. The real question at stake la the one you number I. In answering It, 1 must ask' you one In turn: Why under the aun shouldn't you declare your love for a girl who Is free to listen to you and probably sufficiently lonely, hurt and unhappy so that she really Is badly In need of an as surance that somebody really cares for her?

Cost T0U Same Price When Milady Goes Shopping As dull draperies cast gloom over the grand est homes, so do dull clothes sadden "the brightest spirits. We cannot afford, to lose" " our interest in Incoming dresses., : , .: . By ADELAIDE KENNERLY. From the latest report of a Woman's club meeting in Omaha, where more than 200 women were present, only two held up their hands when the question was asked how many women in this audi ence have servants. Quite different from last year when most of the housekeepers "signified by the right hand." Economy? Yes, economy! The curtailing of elaborate entertain ment, of groaning tables and unnec essary pomp. Back to simple living and the, heart of things. But are women less lovely? you ask. No, indeed I Women are holding their own in the world of fashion, but while bat tling under economic conditions they are becoming efficient, and splendid. Already the queen mother of many a home is preparing to open her. sewing machine and start its wheels to running so that her little girls may bloom in the springtime with new frocks." "Isn't it early? asks one woman who intends to make her little girls' dresses for the springtime. "I do not know what materials will be Used and in style so far ahead." Listen, Miladyl to a wee bit of information gleaned from the Dry Goods Economist and personal ob servation: Beautiful ginghams, in plaids. stripes and solid colors,, are begin ning to come out on the shelves and tables of retail houses. They wUl lead in spring materials. Advance styles in school dresses show sur plice with pleated skirts and collar and cuffs of pique or contrasting ma terials. .The bustle drape, which has appeared in the afternoon ' frocks for the 14-year-old girl, is also in evidence in the advance showing of ginghams. Beauty unadorned loses , more than half its loveliness and no one realizes this more than a mother of growing girls. It behooves each of these mothers to figure' on expense, time( and material. To leave the spring wardrobe until the last min ute would be extremely unwise. It would be a mark of inefficiency in these strenuous days when Ameri can women are Hooverizing, econo mizing and at the same time becom ing 100 per cent efficient. As dull draperies cast a gloom over the grandest homes, so do dull clothes sadden the brightest spirits. We cannot afford to lose our inter est in becoming dresses. Mrs. A. B.
