Miss Willard had suffered for some years
with profound anemia, and on several
occasions had been given up to die. Last
summer she seemed to take new lease of
life and gained considerable strength SO
that she went through her convention

most arluous, and came out much better
than was expected. On her arrival here
five weeks ago she was much Frustrated

In Europe the elevator affords so

surprising so few occur. OF course,
the larger hotels and stores have ele-
yators which are In the hands of CON-
petent people who operate them; but
in many small hotels and private
houses and shops the lifts are ope-

When n person wishes to go up in the
elevator he tells the attendant the num-
Der of the floor he wishes to stop at.
An index is moved to that number and
the car is started up. When the ear
reaches the proper floor the elevator
stops and the door is mbolted by the
car itself. Thus as the ear passes each
floor the door into the elevator shaft is
unbolted automatically for an instant
until the car begins to rise past the
floor. 1t is possible for person to open
the door at this time and fall into the
elevator shaft. He seldom does. how
ever; they move more cautiously on the
other side of the water than on this.
