An incident of interest to charitable
circles is the resignation by Mrs. Micah
Dyer, Jr., of the Presidency of the

Home, in Chelsea, Mass. She was one of
the founders of the society, and has held
this Office thirteen years. She is woman
of great executive ability, and active in
many organizations. At one time she

This is Clara Bellies idea of good doc
tor: "As for me, l want a doctor who
thinks l am i'll when l think l am myself.
1t makes me awfully mad to have a doctor
pooh at me when l have made up INV
mind l am awfully sick. You want a
doctor to be nice and sympathetic aud
listen to your symptoms; and / think a
doctor who makes you feel your case is
quite special and interesting can cure
you heap quicker than an old thing who
hardly sits down at all, but just scribbles
off a prescription and never asks how
you are or anything. a doctor who is
interested in you, asks you about nice
things, makes kind Of social call when
you are tired of being sick, Just writes
your prescription sort of incidentally
and says something nice about your hair,
or something of the kind, SO you can
almost feel as if you were up and well
again, is the kind of doctor to do you
good"
