NZ i NEARLY every one who' comas to visit us, out here where we wall Impatiently for our ankle to get well, asks us how the doctor went about it to put on the cast. Not that our.cast was any' different from any other person's, but Just it does not fall to the average person to have to wear one of the vile things.

Well, we'll tell. We watched with a great deol of Interest, both personal and curious. We supposed the doctor would have a bucket of something filled with cement or plaster or whatever it is that a cast is made of, and that he would scoop handsful up on the broken part, smooth It over, shape it up, and call it a day, much like the preliminary work Mr. Magellan goes through when he Is working In sculpture. But that is not the way "St is done at all.

Instead of the plaster being in a bucket, it Is in the meshes of long bandages. They are moistened In some way (a very solid orderly stood between us and the container, so we missed that part of the show), and then is wound around and around, like any ordinary bandage.
