We stewards on ocean liners must
not be merely good waiters-we must

"One Of the first things a steward
learns is to set a stormy weather table
to spill water on the cloth at each

FOR EDNA
WALLACE HOPPER
Actress Rallies To-Day and
May Undergo Operation
Tomorrow.

Edna Wallace Hopper, after a fairly
quiet night, Is rallying her strength to-
, day to undergo an operation for APP
pendicitis tomorrow. She will be taken
to DR., Walkers sanitarium In Thirty
third street tonight II her condition
warrants.
The fact that the little comedienne
was q very sick woman came Is a
shock TO her friends to-day when they
learned that since being brought from
Buffalo Monday night she has been ly-
Ing In a serious condition In her apart
ments on the fifth floor OF No. rs West
Thlrty-third street, attended by three
physicians and two nurses,
Dr. william L.. Culbert. Of No. "a
East Thirty-fourth street, who Is at
lending Mrs. Hopper, said to-day that
the aotress had passed a restful night
and was feeling better to-day. It was
believed that she would be able 10 un-
dergo the operation tomorrow.
Mrs. Hopper had been suffering for
some time with a pain in her right
side which she attributed to a cold, but
after her arrival In New York, Sunday,
and an examination by her physicians,
she was told that she must discontinue
her work. In spite OF this she returned !
to Buffalo, where she was playing the
part OF Nancy In The Heart OF Mary
land" She was forced to quit at the
end OF the Monday nights performance
and was hurried back TO New York.
So serious has her condition been
that she has been kept in ignorance OF
the setback to her suit for half OF the
$500, 900 estate Of her late stepfather.
Alexander Dunsmur, which has Just
been decided in the California courts.
The lawyers representing Mrs. Hopper
and those OF Dunsmulrs mother have
begun their final struggle by filing a
bill asking the courts OF California to
declare void the proceeding In Ean
Francisco whereby an authenticated
copy Of the will was admitted to pro-
bate and letters testamentary issued,
A member OF the law firm repre- sentlng
