A Wrap For The Sickroom

An invaluable wrap for a convalescent is the nightingale house sack. It is easily slipped on and over a nightdress and also adjusts itself to fit the figure closely, affording ampie protection. The making of these useful garments is a simple matter. Hem the ends of 2J yards of eider down flaunel or Frenoh flannel; fold in half and take a plait deep enough to form a pointed hood; sew a bowhere and strings in front to confine it at the neck; fasten each end together for about two inches to make loose sleeves. One seen recently wasraade of cream white flannel, and pieces of oíd rose quilted silk had been laid over neck and sleeves toform a broad collar and cuff effect. This treatment, however, is not necessary, the garment being cuite complete without it. -
