had a large dose, and probably a very virulent dose of the poison. Such
a person would be more likely to directly inoculate another. Up to the
present it has not been customary to isolate influenza patients, but
we think that isolation is unquestionably advisable wherever this is
possible. To disinfect the room afterwards there are no measures to be
compared with fresh air, and a pail of water, and a scrubbing brush.
Thoroughly clean out the room in which an infectious case has been
“warded”—use plenty of water, plenty of soap, and plenty of time. You
may use chloride of lime or carbolic acid if you like. Afterwards, let
the room get as much air and sunshine as possible, for both fresh air
and sunshine are fatal to injurious germs. We do not know what is the
incubation period of the disease, nor can we say for how long after
recovery the patient remains capable of conveying infection.
LILY.—When you have removed the redness—which is inflammation—of the
eyebrows, the hairs will grow dark again. Apply a little zinc ointment
to the place every morning and evening.
STUDY AND STUDIO.
PEGGY.—We think you would find the comic song you mention by going to
any good music-seller’s and giving the extract. Unless we are mistaken,
it has been sung by some popular entertainer, and is well known.
WINTON.—1. We have already recommended the “York Road Sketching Club,”
and “Copying Club;” address, Miss H. E. Grace, 54, York Road, Brighton,
W.—2. The three staves in Grieg’s music are used simply because there
is not space in one set of five lines to clearly show the complicated
air and accompaniment which fall to the lot of the treble.
MISS MUNN, Sandhurst, Hawkhurst, wishes to announce that a new year of
her Sketching Club began in June, but members may join at any time. The
subscription is 2s. 6d. the year.
BRENDA.—There are plenty of such scholarships as you describe. You had
better write to The Secretary, Technical Education Board, St. Martin’s
Lane, W.C., or consult Mrs. Watson’s article on “What is the London
County Council doing for Girls?” (THE GIRL’S OWN PAPER, March, 1897).
