THE TRAINED NURSE a MODERN SAFEGUARD

many VINO take any. and all cases, and
ao not select any particular line of
cases. e;ss5sss1sss
Training Requires Three Years.
The Ramsey County Nurses Register,
which includes many nurses, asks the
nurse registering on its books to
state What sort of case she will take
ana is DESTROYS of securing.
Az the City and County hospital, on
euinqIoO pue uosaeU5f 30 I7uIoo Qua
streets, there is large training school
Tor professional nurses where those
anxious to enter the profession may do
SO after three years training, and the
third training school is that at ST..
Luke's hospital, on the corner Of Sher-
man and Smith avenue, and here it
requires the same length of time for a
nurse to acquire her professional edu-'
cation. Il,
1t is hard life, that Of a nurse, and
the average duration is ten years, but
1t is not all hardship, and she has many
bright spots in her career; grateful pa
tents who grow into devoted friends, a
recognized position in the professional
world, and regular fees sufficiently
large in some sort to compensate her
for long anxious nights Of watching
and weary days of attendance.
But these are the sweets of the pro-
fess1on, and thre is the other side when
those patients who have been attended
most faithfully forget all that has been
done and pay unwillingly her just ac-
count, grudging her her hard earned
fee.
Must Be Paragon.
What goes to make the ideal nurse?"
was asked of one of the most promi-
nent physicians in ST. Paul.
The ideal professional nurse" Umph.
well a mixture of every good quality
and no bad ones. The ideal nurse should
be compound of angel and practical
human being" And here is how he
described her: a 5agsfe
"She must possess besides her train
ing, many mental and physical quail
ties of a high character.
She must have an inexhaustible
fund of patience, be accurate, not nery-
Gus, firm, gentle, sympathetic without
being sentimental, good tempered, a
good reader, cheerful strong, well edu-
Gated, neither too tall for strength, nor
yet so short as to make reaching across
a bed a severe effort.
"She must have good health and
sound teeth, and be above average in
telligence, and above all in love with
her profession and loyal to both pa
tent and, physician who may employ
her."
ooh, yes" he added, land half a
dozen other things cannot recall at
this minute" 'ir,4
So the ordinary mortal will perceive
that the ideal nurse Is, as the doctor
first expressed it, combination Of
angel and human being.
In most families, certainly among
those of the better class, nurses are
treated with the consideration that
their professional training entities
| them to expect but occasionally there
is found a family who does not un-
derstand the new eorder of things and
| who evinces a disposition to treat the
nurse as a servant or unskilled worker.
But if the nurse is the right sort of a
| person she is soon able without friction
to make them realize her true status.

If accepted, the probationer becomes a
pupil nurse, but the right Is reserved
to terminals her service and her train

The uniform at the City and County
hospital consists of blue bingham
gown, white apron and cap. In the
case of probationers the apron has no
bib, but pupil nurses wear a bib.
Much the same rules govern the adj
mittance of nurses at st. Joseph's hos

and the little caps are of clear white
muslin.
No Wages First Year.
At st. Luke's the uniform is being
changed and consists of blue-striped
bingham gown, and rather curious stiff
linen cap, high collar, apron with high
bib and white covered sleeves. The first
year the pupils receive no wages, their
education, board laundry and lodging
and training being considered suffi-
cient remuneration for their compare
lively unskilled services.

sad and pathetic incidents, but the nur-
SEES for the insane are usually those
who have the most exciting expe-
riences. The sick nurse is not so like
to encounter SO many thrilling incl
dents. All mental disturbance is sad,
death itself is not so saddening or SO
depressing as mental alienation.
Yet the hopeless courage, the pa
thetic bravery with which the dying
mother clings to life for the sake Of
the little life that has just entered the
world, is heart wringing, and the sweet
patience shown by many injured and
crippled children appeals often to the
nurse paid to attend them, and she re-
spends with a devotion that money
cannot buy.
Alike to the physician and the nurse
the family skeleton must often be ex-
posed, even though some innocent
heart be wrung by the necessity, but
like the family physician, to whom all
things must be told, the nurses lips are
sealed, and however familiar the rat
Ting of it's bones may sound, it is never
mentioned outside of the house it
hauntS. The patient often, indeed, has
not only to intrust his life and physi-
cal well-being to the nurse he en-
ploys and whom he may never have
seen until she entered his family in her
professional capaoit but often the
whole happiness Of his life depends
upon her discretion. These are some OF

SARATOGA, Sept. 6.-It was with
a shock of surprise that the colors of
the late Pierre Lorillard were seen in
Saratoga the other day.
This was succeeded by shock deep
er than surprise. A shock of disgust
thrilled those who saw-and knew.
The first sight of the cherry and
black sent a group of men who were
lolling on the porch of the Grand Union
hotel to their feet, where they stood
with hats uplifted, reverently Saluting
the Lorillard colors.
They looked and behold-a woman
guided the horses.
They looked again, and beheld in her
the woman to whom the late turf mag
farm.
Mrs. Lillian B. Allen, triumphant as
though she had reaped the rewards of
righteousness, was making a Spectac-
ular bid for admiration.
In an instant the situation flashed
upon the men, themselves distinguish
ed members of the American turf.
They resumed their seats before the
woman had passed, ashamed to have
betrayed any feeling but indignation.
That feeling had been dominant in
the breast of every thoroughbred on
the turf and off of it but little more
than a year ago, when, by the terms
OF Pierre Lorlllard'S Will, she, the only
person not of his blood mentioned
therein-the woman who had estranged
him from his wife-was left the cele-
brated Jersey estate.
The day that this was made public
all society stood aghast with wonder
wonder that framed itself into
single question: "Why did he not give
her RancocaS while he lived and leave
mention of her out of his WHIP"
-.
for the millionaire tobacco manufac-
turer had ever been popular; he was
dead, and his friends outnumbered his
enemies.
Mrs. ALIENS Spectacular Appearance.
Mrs. Allen had the decency to re-
main more or less in seclusion until at
Saratoga the other day she blazoned
forth in splendor so theatric that her
history sped through the place, re-
hearsed from end to end in all it's SEN
sational details.
On the porches of the great hotels
men and women craned their necks to
see the most startling outfit that had
yet daZzled their eyes.
Three prancing bay horses driven
abreast charged down upon them.
Small boys, still in their circus DAYS.
thought 1T was an advance bit of one
OF the greatest shows on earth. They
threw UP their hats and yelled for JOY.
Their sisters, with eyes big with adj
mlrauon, studied the TALL graceful wo-
man who held the reins.

1t seems but a few months ago that
her history was Haunted in the eyes
of every one.
The publication of Pierre Lorillard's
will, with it's clause leaving to Lillian
A Barnes, known also as Lillian Barnes
Alien the celebrated Rancocas stock
farm, in Burlington county, New Jer-
sey, with all it's appurtenances and all
the racing stock there and in England,

Before that it had been known that
she was the millionaire merchants con-
slant companion, the only hostess ever
seen on the Lorillard yacht or on the
gorgeous houseboat Caiman, or at the
splendid country estate in Jersey, or
at a certain house in New York Just
off Fifth avenue on Thirty first street.
Certain people knew these things be-
fore the death of Pierre Lorillard
1t was common gossip that he and
his wife, the beautiful Mrs. Lorillard
had not been friendly for many years
1t was known that all the family, in
Guiding the son, Pierre, and the daugh-s
ters, Mrs. T. Suffern Taller and Mrs.
William Kent, were estranged and in
dignant.
But the publication of the will was

followed by still more startling and
sensational revelations.
Pierre LoriIIard's Amazing Will.
The first and most amazing was that
the Allen woman had no right to the
title of MRS
The peculiar phrase known also as
Lillian Barnes Alien" was accounted
for.
So, too. was the perpetual and con-.
tinual absence of Mr.. Allen, to in
quire into the history of the woman
who had captivated the turf king. e
Incidentally, they asked questions
about her husband. 50
He was absent, had been absent,
and continued to be absent q
The woman in the will became more
mysterious. Fluctuations Of the enig-s
ma she presented became more and
mare plentiful.
1t was said that Mr. Allen had come
over from England to become the
husband of Miss Barnes; that he had
received $4,000 after marrying her to
conveniently disappear. He was re-
ported to have died, to have gone to
Africa or Asia or Greece, to have been
swallowed up by an earthquake or a
cyclone. He had disappeared and ev-
ely OIlG WdS lAS " CAplcilll INV.
At last came the real explanation,
which for once outdid fiction.
Mrs. ALLEN had married a woman
the wife of one of Mr. Lorillard's en-
ployes on the Jersey estate. If any
$4,000 had been paid this woman had
received it to discard male clothing
Immediately after the marriage cere-
mony and to reappear in woman's
gown.
Thus was explained the strange
clause in the will.
There was no such person as Mrs.
Lillian B. Allen in a legal sense, and
bequest to her might have been
doubtful. So the careful fnancier had
described her as Lillian A. Barnes,
adding for purposes of better identifi-
cation, Allen, the name under which
she was generally known.
The story of the events that led to
the pseudo marriage was much more
commonplace.
Beginning of Lily Barnes Career.
1t began with a meeting in Orange,
N. j., where Mrs. Allen, then pretty
Lilly Barnes, lived with her parents.
In those days the millionaire tobac-
co manufacturer was in the zenith of
his fame. He had boundless imagina-
ton, and, it would seem, an income
| to match it,,
He spent money in a way to win
admiration.

Luckily he had both. Whether for
that reason or some other the daugh-
ter of John C.. Barnes fell deeply in
love with the married millionaire. Her
parents raised every objection, so the
story goes, to her being seen with him.
The tongue of gossip had already
Signalled her out when to appease it it
was announced that she was about to
marry Mr.. Lewis Allen.
He remained as much out of sight as
he has since up to the very hour of
the wedding ceremony, which was
private.
Immediately after it "he' disappear
ed, never to be seen again, and she who
was thereafter known as Mrs. Allen
went for long cruise with Mr.. Loril-
lard on his yacht
This was briefly, the story that
startled world accustomed to all
sorts of amazing episodes.
In the years that followed the pseudo
marriage Mr.. Lorillard and Mrs. Al
lien were rarely apart They were
either on his yacht cruising on the
Mediterranean, or they were living
aboard the houseboat Caiman, enter
tanning a party of guests as only
man who held that it was the duty of
the rich to spend their money as rap
idly as possible knows how.
Modern Cleopatra.
Within the Caiman was fitted up like
a palace. 1t had rugs and pictures and
divans, rare draperies, automatic harps
pianos and banjos, electric lights, and
fans, a refrigerator plant and float
ing stable astern that carried a num-
Der of thoroughbreds. ~
And Mrs. ALLEN was always it's hos
tess.
In those. days 1t was said of her that
she cared nothing for display, that she
was by nature retiring, that she was
splendid housewoman and happieSt
when she could be in a short hunting
costume galIoping1 over the hills of the
Jobstown estate.
She was blonde and tall and reserv-s
ed, said the gossips. She had magni-
ficent jewels, but rarely was she seen
to wear them in public. Her simple
tastes We're extolled by few people
who held that Mrs. ALLEN had never
met Mr.. Lorillard until five years after
he separated from his wife, and, there
fore, was not in any way responsible
for their estrangement.
Those simple tastes the Mrs. Allen
of today. has evidently outgrown.
From one end of Saratoga to the
other they talk Of her gowns and her
rigs.
Her entrance into the town was as
spectacular as her first drive through
it. She stole in as the celebrated Ital-
ian actress Duse once stole into New
York to advertise herself more clever
ly as time wore on.
There was no announcement that
Mrs. ALLEN was coming to- Saratoga,
/ no hint as to who she was.
Suddenly aycottage fronting on the
lawn of the chief hotel was thrown
open, a retinue of servants filled 1t,
