BOB BENCHLEY â€" hero, handsome jroung interne. Ha had trouble, too, keeping up with brilliant DR. STEPHEN SARGENTâ€" head •urgeon. Dr. Sargent's problem was something else again. Last Week â€" Miss Armstrong lectures to Tran but, unfortunate- lx> the unpredictable seemed fated to happen. CHAPTEK IV For the three month.s that fol- lowed Tran continued to be gen- erally known as "Utility." Which means that, by misfor- tune of being the junior proba- tioner in the training school â€" if only by three days â€" she conlined to be at the beck and call of every one. But after her talk with Miss Armstrong, .she ran errards and did chores with the glowing cn- thusia.sm of a religious fanatic. It is true that at times she light- ened her labors with visions of a radiant future â€" the day when Dr. Stephen Sargent, entering his operating room â€" white-capped and gowned and rubber-gloved for action â€" would look about him and A Perhy Princess Frock 1 ATT K K.N 11 7 r, B.- ANNE ADAMS Young and fresh as a frilly- edged corsage is this adorable ju- nior miss frock by Anne Adams. Nicest of all, you can stitch up Pattern 4175 all by yourself in a jiffy. The princess lines that so gracefully outline young curves arc easy to sew, for they elimin- •t« waistline seaming. The unus- ual yoke and the long centre panel may be cut on the bias. Or, you might bias-cut the front and back •ide-panels that give such extra •wishy fullness to the skirt. Make the sleeves with wide .slashed op- enings or seamed up, and leave the neckline round and simple. But go gay on ruffle trim for the ilres- •ier version â€" use it lavishly at r'oke, sleeves and peele-a-boo hem- Ine. Pattern 4175 is available in ju- nior and misses' sizes 10-18; bust, 2fl-36.

I specifically a.sked for Miss Dearborn for this operation, did I not? Find Miss Dearborn for me at once." On those rare occasions when she passed him in the corridors â€" .striding along with that way he had of knowing that the world was his oyster, and looking, as always, almost spectacularly fresh and scrubbed and vital and efficient â€" Tran, mindful of Miss Armstrong's advice, made herself as inconspicu- ous as po.ssible. Not that life for Tran was all ir.ade up of running errands. There were classes: anatomy, chemistry, biology, psychology. Tran took these courses in her stride, although scholarship here - was a much more exacting busi- ness than during her earlier school days â€" at Miss Brand's, or during those later years when Aunt Clara had left her casually a year at school in Germany or in France or in Italy .... ''To ground you it! languages, my dear. No gentle- woman is really educated unless she speaks at least three foreign tongues." But learning from books had always been easy for Tran. . . . If it were not for remembering not to notice things that were funny, for instance. Glorified Hours It was the demonstration class with Miss Philbin that she liked best. The demonstration room was a complete ward in miniature, with cubicle bed, sterilizer, cabinets full of all the necessary parapher- nalia of nursing . . . Even a pa- tient â€" the long-suffering dummy, whom probationers of former years had named "Grisclila" be- cause of the Spartan fortitude with which she underwent the most harrowing ordeals. Griselda's i-yes wore blue and staring in her pink wooden face, and she met clumsy student assaults upon her (ladded person with a set .smirk i>( forgiveness. In the demonstration class you learned to make a bed so that the .sheets lay smooth and tight, with neatly mitcred corners, the closed end of the pillows turned toward the door, and the castors parallel with the head and boot of the bed. With the stolid co-operation of Gri.selda, you learned to move and bathe a patient in bed. You learned how to prepare a patient fur various types of medical cx- nmination, l.cw to give a hypo- dermic, how to prepare trays for the most exacting physicion. You learned everything, in fact, that you would later be required lo do for living patients .\bovo all, you learned the mean- ing or surgical cleanlinesr. â€" which is as much beyond ordinary clean- liness as the heavens are above the i-arth. Then there were the glorified hours when â€" under the supervisi- on of a graduate nurse, you were allowed to go into the wards and help in little humble probationary ways â€" like getting beds ready for ether patients, for instance, or <nrrying trays to convalescents. Once or twice Tran was allowed t(» help one of the graduate nurses prepare a patient for pre-opera- live examination. This was stand- ing on the threshold of the great .idventure â€" as near as she could hope to get for months. Not until the end of a student nurse's fir.st year did Saint Vincent's permit her to go into an operating room. Make Believe On such occasions Tran walked on air â€" and almost burst with unspoken questions; for asking questions in the presence of pati- ents was not tolerated. And there were some of the senior nurses who did not encourage it at any time. Tran wondered sometimes if that was because even they did not know quite all the answers. . . . Miss Miller did, of course; but "the icicle" was one who be- lieved that probationers should be sten and not heard. And how, Tran wondered, was a girl to get along in this strangre world unle.ss she could as ques- tions? Needless to say she did â€" to such an extent that before long the nickname of "Utility" began to give way to "The Elephartl'a Child." Once or twice she managed to slip into one of the rooms where the cases of shining, wicked-look- ing surgical instruments stood. . . . This was one of the few things no one had thought of telling her she must not do without permission. . . . Standing before the glass doors, she would try calling off as many of the names as she could remember. She would even prac- tice operating room procedure with the scissors every nurse wore tucked into the back of her belt â€" slapping them smartly from one hand to the other, the way Miss Miller, in one of her more com- municative moments, had told her you slapped instruments into the surgeon's hand when you were on duty in the operating room â€" call- ing them off in turn as she did so, in a kind of antiphonal chant in w'hich she sang both parts. "Scalpel" . . . That was sup- posed to be Dr. Sargent's clipped, peremptory voice requesting a nige. . . . "Scalpel" . . . That was Nurse Dearborn's crisp confirma- tory echo as she slapped the de- sired instrument into his rubber- gloxed hand. . . . "Retractor" â€" Slapâ€" "Retractor" . . . "Haemo- cstat"â€" Slapâ€" "Haemostat" . . . "Sponge"â€" Slap"Sponge" . . . . "Forceps" â€" Slap â€" "Forcepts." Caught! One day, when she had progress- ed triumphantly from "Scalpel" through a miscellaneous list of fleshly learned terms to "Suture," her eyes as gravely intent in her pale face as if life and death hung upon her efBeiency, a faint noice made her whirl. The noise had a familiar sound â€" like a cross be- tween a sneeze and a sob. Leaning against the door-fcame behind her, his hands in the pock- ets of his white coat, was young Dr. Benchley. "Might I ask â€" " he spoke with exaggerated respect, his dark eyes dancing in his ugly, charming face â€" "whether this is a tonsilectomy, an appendectomy, or an amputa- tion? Because from the wicked assortment of weapons you seem to be using, I should say it must be nothing short of mayhem." Abruptly Tran's gift of seeing herself in quite as ludicrous a light as the rest of the funny world got the better of her; and she began to laugh. With a wary glance into the hall behind him, he caught her •shoulders and shook her warning- ly; but as she continued to giggle in helpless mirth, he caught the infection, and they stood, clinging together and rocking with stifled laughter. . . . Until, for no reason at all, they were looking at each other with startled, sobered eyes. .And then he had her in his arms, crushing her to him. After a moment Tran cried, her palms against his chest. "No! No! I â€" we mustn't!" "Why not?" he demanded, his lips close to hers. "You know I've been wanting to do this ever since that first day â€" when you burst into Emergency â€" remem- ber? . . . You were so little and funny and scared and sweet . . . Why not, Agility?" " 'It is contrary to the policy of this instution'," Tran quoted from the House Rules â€" a little shakily, because his face asparkle with tender mischief, was still close to hers â€" " 'for student nur- ses to have any but professional relations with house physicians'." " 'Student nurses â€" ' " young Dr. Benchley countered with another quotation from the same source â€" " 'are urged to be constantly alert to co-operate v.'ith phsyicians in any way â€" ' " At sight of her suddenly whiten- ing face he turned sharply. For it was Tran who first saw the door into the corridor open, and a tall linen-clad figure halt in the door- way. . . . She tore herself free and ran â€" through the other door into Central Supplies, and on, blindly, down the corridor. For the white-clad figure in the door- way was none other than that of the terrible Dr. Stephen Sargent. (To Be Continued) Berets Regain Fashion Favor New Headgear For Autumn Kfii Knack of Being Both Formal and Informal New York â€" Berets aro putting on a new act. It seems Incredible, but here they are In a return en- gagement that is bound lo bring tbem a round of applause. They are high, they are tailored, they are draped. They are worn straight, back on the head, or tip-tilted, pro- file-fashion. Molyneux shirrs them in velvet: Suzy bangs a curtaining triage from one side of felts. The beret has a happy knack of being both formal and informal. Worn At Various Angles Among tho very dressy berets Is a model made of three tiers of sbir- red velvet In three shades of the same color. The lower Is the dark- est, the lightest is on the top. We've seen It In greenish blue and it Is a thing of beauty. This model like many another Is carried In a low point nt the bark, a fart whi'li anchors it lightly lu the head. Classic Woollen Coats Reversible Paris Collection* For Fall Are Stressing Garnrcnts That Can Ba Worn Either Side Out Woollen coats for tho coming fall SPisoii are warm, lomfortabit; and haudsome .enough to sub-ilitute fur furs. All the i'aris collections aro stressing classic revorsibles. Uodler features a finely-woven corduroy whose reverse side is blUiy velvet. Another Kodler coat U or volvet with the reverse in black angora. Meyer shows a downy wool coat with a grainy texture on the other side. One Meyer coat is of heavy jersey on one side, and soft velvet on the other. Camel's Hair Popular (.'ashmere and serge coats play a I)rouilnent role in most of the fall shows. t'hatlllon-Mouly-Roussel has de- signed a coat one side of which is soft wool in solid or checked colors. The reverse a white fabric looking like lami). The coat, apparently neavy, is actually lightweight. Camol's hair coats and the newer, "teddy-boar" type are sure to be popular. They come iu natural tones, beiges and browns. Attends Convention Mis.

New Hobby In Old Cook Books Wingham, Ont., Girl Uncovers Unique Recipes In Old Files â€" She Makes Profit Out of Selling Them Oddities for the oven bring pro- fitablo returns, Nell Hays attrac- tive young university graduate of Wingham, Ont.. has discovered. It all started when she read a caustic roclpe submitted to a country mag- azine by an eccentric food fancier and repeated it to a friend who used it for an advertisement and rewarded her for her idea. To lucky pieco read: "To dress beetstMk in the proper (?) way: Cut tho steak about a half-inch thick, wash it in a tub of water as you would an old dish-rag, wring- ing It out from time to time to take whatever flavor the meat might have out of it. Then put at least a pound of fresh unsalted butter or hag's dripping, and when tho grease is spluttering and about to burst into flamo from heat, dump the steak Into It. Keep perpetually turning and fussing with it and drowning It in salt and pepper. Then put it into a tureen and pour tho grease over it until it is quite seaworthy and will float." What People Used To Eat SInca then she has been burrow- ing In old cook books and manuals in bookshops and odd places, dis- covering what people used to eat and how they used to rook In the olden days; then selling her Infor- mation to advertising firms. Her files contain rules for hundreds of things used by pioneer women of Canada and the United States and recipes for cooking game which is now loroign to the average palate. Travel Aids For Grooming Aids to good grooming should go along on the vacation trip. Do not forget to pack brushes for clothes, shoe:, and hand bag, an cfTicient mending kit, pins, a small bottle of cleaning fluid for emer- gencies. And do provide adequate cases for cosmetics and toilet ar- ticles. And even though you se- lect uncrush-.Me materials for most of youi ward, ibe, you will find a .^mall folding eleclnc iron praclirjily invaluable. Hindu Women Taught By Canadians India's Drivq For Physicial Flt- ne» Is Growing Women physical experts from Ciuiada are playing a valuable part In India's growing drive for phys- ical fitness. for a number of years members of the Canadian Young Women's Christian Association, working iu India under a world fellowship scheme, have been largely respon- sible for interesting the women ot Hengal in physical education. I'ro- niising pupils they iralned have be- come teachers in government schools. Beginning ot Physical Training Fifteen years ago a modest bo- ginning was made. At first pro- gress was slow. Indian girls of the higher classes had no background of games or strenuous physical ex- orcises and, long accustomed to a sheltered, comfortable life, they found difficulty in performing even the simplest movements. Teaching them to teach others was an even more arduous task, the Canadian women fonud. I-afer the Government of Bengal and the Calcutta Y. W. C. A. ar- ranged to share a director who would supervise the physical edu- cation, games and athletics of the girls in the province, train teach- ers for schools and supervise the work done In these schools. In July 193G a physical training college was opened iu Calcutta, under the aus- pices ot the Y. W. C. A., out ot money raised by Canadians. Today, large numbers ot Indian girls hold positions as instructors in government schools in Bengal and many others are rapidly quali- fying in tho new profession. So im- portant has this branch of educa- tion become that the government education department will take over the training ot the teachers for Indian schools from next year. Much work, however, will remain iu the hands ot ihe Calcutta Y. W. C. A., which has just secured a new director of physical training from Canada, Miss Marjorie Cul- bert. who has giveu instruction at Y. W. C. A. headquarters in Que- bec. Loudon, Winnipeg, Montreal and Toronto. "Good Manager" Pinches Pennies With Skill Don't Talk About Your Econ- omizing Kconomy should neither be seen nor heard. Womeu do a good job ot handling the first, and then fall down heavily on the second. A "good manager" economizes so expertly that no one would ever know she had to pinch pennies. But others do knowâ€" because she can't refrain from boasting. She puts a delicious meal on the table and when her family starts praising it, she says, "Well, it cer- tainly didn't cost much." Her husband admires a new dress and she tells him how she pick- ed it up at a bargain sale. He never again is quite so sure that she looks grand in it. Boasting of Bargains Everyone who admires the lovely old corner cupboard iu her dining room hears how she got it for half ot what t'le antique dealer wanted. Tho beauty ot the old piece is mar- red just a little by the picture of the haggling that went on over its price. She is as boastful about how little she spends as is the woman who likes to tell how much every- thing costs. Because she is men- tioning small figures, she doesn't realize that she is bragging. A good manager would be more charming and her possessions would be more attractive to others if she didn't feel she had to point out her economy, after working hard to keep it from being self- evident. Jewel Settings Invisible Invisible settings are being useil for much of the new jewelry. Large flowers in two-color designs are formed of precious stones set so that the leaves and petals look as though they were carved out of a solid block of blue or green crystal. Pale .sapphires and aquamarines are attractive shaped like tiny blue gentians or anemones in a cluster forming a brooch. Some jewelers choose exception- ally large settings, making them almost part of the design. Beau- tifully shaped crescents and curves are composed of diamonds set in large claws of platinum or gold.

CHAMBERS -i-'' THE FRUIT SEASON IS HERE < These are the days when our !»- cal fruits are ripening each day and when we should take advantage of < their deliciousncss by caoning ', some for the winter months which '' are to come. The subject of can- -' ning is such a broad one that it la " impossible to treat each method properly in such a small space. Briefly the following are the best methods: -'I'MiTjP^ Preparation: All fruit should be picked carefully and then prepared accordiug to type. Large fruits should be cut in pieces and IX dry and Pulpy such as apples and pears should be covered with water be- fore simmering until tender. Small juicy fruits require no water. Open Kettle Canning: It fruit is moderately acid and very Juicy use no water but cover with sugar and let stand over night. la the morn- ing cook until tender with as little stirring as possible. Fruits less juicy should be covered with a sug- ar syrup and cooked until tender. Hot Pack: Fruit is prepared as above but cooked for a shorter length of time. Pour into hot ster- ilized jars to withia about % inch of the top. Adjust rubber rings (dipped in boiling water), cover with sterilized top seal and leave jar ring partly screwed (if spring coo is used do not adjust second spring). Place jars in rack ia the kettle; cover well with water at same temperature as jars and bring to a boil. Boil tor required .ime "-nd be sure that the jars do not touch each other. If this process is dona in the oven have a carefully cim- trolled temperature of 275 degrees. Remove from water bath, tighten and seal. Invert jars while coilmg to test leaks. It using steam pres- sure cooker follow directions i;iveu by manufacturer. Cold Pack Canning: Pack fruit into jars (sterilized) to within una inch ot the top. Place fruit and su- gar in alternate layers In propor- tion to the desired 'syrup. Thin the syrup Vi cup sugar to 1 of fruit and heavy syrup 1 cup sugar to I of fruit. Cover with cold water until overflowing. Adjust rubbers and tops as for hot pack. Place on racli and cook slowly as in thi hot yack method. Jams and Conserves: Mc:ksui°e fruit aud cover with enough water to simmer until tender. Add wann- ed sugar providing ^'^ cup to one cup ot fruit. Continue to simmer until thick stirring frequently. Skim. Turn into sterilized jars and cover at once with a thin layer of hot paraffin. When cool apply an- other layer of paraffin to assure p&rfect sealing. Jellies: Select fruits that are not dead ripe. Clean and cook until very tender. Pour into a scalded jelly bag and allow to dri:> 'ito a scalded container. Do not . ueeza the bag. Heat juice to boiling point and simmer ten to twenty mijiut^s, Add warmed sugar allowing % cup of sugar to one ot juice. Stir over heat until sugar dissolves. Boil gently (skimming as necessary) until a few drops of the solutioo "sets" when tested in cold water. Jellies With Pectin: Fruits such as blueberries and raspberries re- quire tho addition ot pectin to make them jell. The best advice for these fruits is to adhere strict- ly to directions given with Pectin or any similar commercial preparv tions.
