The veining often came far from the leaf

Mrs. Rose Hawthorne Lathrop, daugh-
| ter of Nathaniel Hawthorne, begins to-
morrow her voluntary exile from society
ana enters into her chosen work, the care
| of cancer among the poor. For several
| years the scheme has been near to Mrs
Lathrop's heart, says the New York
World. Study convinced her that cancer
was the one disease least cared for, and
that its victims stood most in need Of
help. Now. in spite of the determined op-
position of friends she is about to take
the first definite step towards her ulti-
mate goal, the founding of a private hos
pital conducted for charity.
Mrs. Bathrop has served some time in
cancer hospital in New York, and her
aim Is to ultimately establish an institu-
ton for the treatment of cancerous dis
eases. At present however she has only
| been able to secure headquarters in
small house in what is known as the east
side and here she win receive those who
are able to call on her in the mornings and
will devote herself to visits at the homes
of afflicted persons in the afternoon.
Mrs. Lathrop speaks very freely of her
proposed work and of the misapprehen-
sions which prevail in regard to it, In a
recent conversation she said
First let me correct a false statement
that has gone abroad. The step | am taxi
ing does not involve separation from my
husband. regret to say that he is not at
present in as complete harmony with my
work as | should wish, and that he thinks
l am undertaking more than my strength
allows. / am convinced, however that
when can prove to him that the work is
the one for which ! am fitted, and make
little success, he will be won over to the
cause.
Later, when I have demonstrated my
ability, / may ask aid of my friends My
great ambition is the establishment of a
permanent home, where patients can be
kept indefinitely. Such a home would re-
quire funds, but l am confident that once
ing. For the present | shall depend upon
myself and my own small means"
God Bless You
When you've struggled hard and long
And the battle has gone wrong
And the world of cares Cypress you,
Like cool water from a spring,
Like the balm the south-winds bring,
Are the simple words. God bless you"
When you're going far away,
Far from all you love to stray
And the parting-pangs distress you,
LIKE a sunbeam in the heart
Though the choking tears may start
Are the words, ''Good-by God bless you. ="
When the bitter days are past,
When your joy is full at last,
And the winds of heaven caress you,
Then the heart will overflow
While the happy head bends low
And the true friends say, God bless
you
Be his faith in James or Paul,
One God, many or none at ALL
Whose kind lips the words address you,
Nothing matters; when it needs,
Doubts, philosophers, and creeds
Are forgotten in God bless you"
William Herbert Carruth.
In sending flowers, books or fruit TO a
sick friend a visiting card is sufficient to
identify the giver, but If the acquaint-
ance is intimate a sympathetic note is
less formal, says the Delineator. Such
an attention cannot always be acknowl-
edged by the recipient, but some one in
the family should not neglect to do so for
the invalid. When there is protracted i'll
ness in the family, cards of inquiry with
