A WORD WITH THE EXPRESS.

Editor Of THE TRIBUNE:
SIR regret that the Scranton Express
Is SO unfair as to state positive untruth
to begin its article regarding myself,
"Elm Park church musicians are by the
ears" Never has there been such har-
mony in Elm Park church as at present
and so will it continue. Mr.. Morgan is
not an elm Parkian." l am also accuse d
of abusing Scranton singers. When a
singer was required for Mr.. Morgan's choir
at the First Presbyterian church, Miss
Annette Reynolds, contralto of New
York city, was engaged. Does that look
as your protege, Mr.. Morgan, considered
that Scranton had a contralto? Next Miss
Jean Slee was engaged for the Second
Presbyterian church, then Miss Dreager
for Elm Park church, Mr.. Wooler having
come earlier. These singers are from New
YORK cities. Will the Express man begin
at home in its criticisms and not speak 80
Iunkindly of a comparative stranger, if he
follows MIR. Morgan's examples in securing
assistants
Will the Express also note that I said
educated" singers. There is marked
difference between vocalist aud edu-
lcated singer. As previously stated,
Scranton is full of magnificent voices.

your presence seems much appreciated.
Be cheerful and quiet. this YOU owe 90
those in attendance as much as 10 the
patient. Enter into no lengthy discus
sions or al guments and avoid all sub
jects upon which the patient may be
sensitive or eXcitable.
Do not discuss or find fault with the
doctor in attendance. The family must
have faith in him. else they would not
employ him. No matter how intimate
you may be with the family. do not press
your faVorite doctor upon them.
DO not insist upon certain remedies
which you know to be d sure cure. 80
as the attending physician no doubt has
used them long before. A kind Sugges-
ton is frequently appropriate. but be
very careful about forcing advice upon
nurses. Those who are confined 10 the
house with their loved ones for a long
time. with no prospect OF recovery. often
have sOrer hearts than we ina CINE. and
a word or look of tender sympathy and
heartfelt cheerfulness is more of a help
than we can think. If you cannot do
that, stay away.-GoOd Housekeeping.

A Gracion. Princess.

In The Woman at Home Miss Kath-
crime Lee gives a gossiping sketch of
Princess Louise as daughter and bride,
sculptor and painter. as we'll as royal

princess's sojourn i'm Canada. for which
she is unable 10 cite the authority. but
which she thinks lis worth repeating as
an instance of that total absence Of fine
ladyism' which is i'm its best sense 50
noticeably absent among the royal
ladies'
1T seems that one day the princess
was walking without any attendant
near her, when she came to cottage.
The only person visible was an old
woman busily ironing one of her hus-
bands shirts The princess was thirsty
after her walk. and stopping the
cottage door asked the old woman If
she would kindly get her a glass Of
water The busy old woman some
what shortly refused TO 90 so. The
spring was a little distance. she said.
and she was busy ironing her old man :
shirt, for he was going with her 10 see
the queens child on the morrow.
The princess no doubt with q secret
thrill If amusement, said that she would
iron the shirt if the old lady would fetch
hei. the water. The compromise was
quickly agreed upon. The old woman
went to the spring. and the princess did
the ironing When the old woman re-
turned the shirt was handed over to
her. Needless TO say it was nicely
ironed.
In exchange for the glass of water
the recent laundry woman informed the
astonished old woman that she was the
queens child The startled old woman
took the shirt. declaring that her old
man should never wear it, bit that she
would keep il forever as A memento or

The wise housewife is she who would
rather dispense with a reception room
and have q sewing room than vice
versa. The sewing room does not need
TO be large. 1t must not contain car
pets or upholstered furniture. The floor
should be stained and Vanished, so
that the daily brushing up may be easily
accomplished There should be hooks
on the wall. from which the piece-bags
should hang. Several shelves are neces-
sary. where boxes containing buttons,

armless rocking chair. a dress form and

ease.
