VISITING THE. SICK.
Better Not Visit Them at All Than he
TbOughtless.

Better Not Visit Them at All Than he
TbOughtless.
In the first place, the sick are not al
ways to be visited. Very often the
doctors express orders are that they
receive no company and when this is
the case it is the height of folly to adj
NIT visitors into their rooms. If they
require freedom from excitement, and
the doctor prefers that they shall see
only the nurse and himself, and per-
haps, the family. the doctor knows
best. and is an autocrat with absolute
power. 1t is his right to be Obeyed
without a murmur.
The best time to call upon your
friend who is ill or convalescent is
usually the middle of the morning.
After a nights rest, a bit of breakfast
and the morning toilet. the invalid is
refreshed and ready for the Whit o;
the outside world which your coming
will bring.
In visiting the sick. preserve, if you
can, your natural. everyday express
sion of countenance. If you are
shocked at pallor or emaciation. con.
ceal it or stay away. for the moral eff
feet of pity or surprise is often ex-
tremely perilous. Speak in cheerful
but not exaggerated tones
In carrying presents to the invalid
there is room for the exercise of taste
and thought Flowers are always mes
sen2ers of love. and in their silent way
speak of comfort and hope and the big,
bright. sunshiny earth as nothing else
can. Never hesitate about taking or
sending flowers to an invalid Though
they may not be kept in the room at
night. they return to him with the new
day. and always they are full of bless
ing.
Fruit is so beautiful and SO pictur-
esque that it pleases the eye. though
prohibited to the palate. Very small
books which may be held in the hand,
photographs, pretty cup and saucer,
a dainty spoon, are pleasing gifts to
the sick.
Do not take children into the sick
room. except for few moments to
give pleasure to the invalid-Harpers
