Hospital Experience.
1t is an unusually careful woman who
provides herself with any meahs of identi-
flcation when she takes her walks abroad.
The popular impression in the feminine
mind seems to be that when a woman is
run over by acGble car or faints in a crowd
ed store or succumbs to heart disease on
the street some heaven born knowledge
will come to her rescuers as to her identi-
ty. She relies on chance to spare her fam
lily hours Of agony or maybe days Of uncer-
tainty as TO her whereabouts and condi-
ton. In her p~ocletbook may generally be
found samples, a little change, two or
three cards with the namcs and addresses
of recently moved friends, q sentimental
clipping or two, IL recipe for q face lotion
and the like, but nothing to give the man
or woman Who picks her up in aswoon the
slightest idea of her own name and address.
OF course there arc women whose en-
broidercd handkerchiefs and underwear
give their initials, whose monographs
adorn their umbrella handles and whose
cuff buttons are also a means of identifi-
cation, but these are comparatively few,
and initials are but a poor substitute for
full names and addresses. If Miss A. L.
D. is picked up unconscious. in the street
or suffers in n railway accident, her fam
lily does not know of her plight until their
own searching or the newspapers bring
them the information. But If Miss Annie
Louise Dobbs of the Lebanon, New York
city, is found injured or unconscious, 1t is
a comparatively easy matter for the ambu-
lance doctor to see hat her family is in
formed at once of her state. If Miss Annie
Louise Dobbs of the Lebanon, New York
city, has, furthermore, a line about her
somewhere saying, Notify L. b. Dobbs,
Boston Trumpoter," the task Is made
doubly easy and the delay essened.
There are careful fathers and mothers
who have imposed upon the ambitious
young women of their families who live
and study in distant cities q promise never
to 80 anywhere without full means of iden-
LITIGATION. A card with the young wom-
ans name and New York address and her
fathers address constitutes the usual iden-
LITIGATION certificate. But cardcases have
been known to be mislaid. For the bene-
fit of young women who have the repre-
hensible habit of not knowing what they
have done with their belongings a station

young woman has had made q broad silver
bracelet on which her name n address
are engraved. This Is not an ornament,
