profession open to women is helt
nj in higher esteem than that of the
' trained nurse. The twentieth
century doctor considers her as neces-
sary in any serious sickness as the
patient considers the physician him
self. The great strides medicine has
made in saving life owe not a little
to her skilled assistance. 1t is not en-
tirely that the practitioner of today
knows more than did his predecessor OF
a couple of generations ago; his knowl-
edge can be more inteligently applied
every moment he has case in charge,
for the urse is his eyes, ears and all
his "sensibilities" when he is away from
the bedside,
AS a result of the Importance the
profession of the trained nurse has
assumed the requirements of learning
il have become more and more severe
in recent years. A girl must make up
her mind that it is not simply a matter
of bandaging a wound or giving dose
of medicine, taking a patients pulse
and temperature or soothing his pain.
TO perfect herself she must become
one of the most skillful, patient, unset
fish workers in the world untiring, ac-
curate painstaking, loyal sympathetic,
sef-contained and gentle.
1t Is plain to anybody that the more
refinement and trained intelligence a
girl has the better nurse she will be.
At the Margaret Fahnestock school in
New York city, for example-the New
York Post Graduate Medical School and
Hospitals training school for nurses
a candidate for admission must have
the equivalent of a two years course
in high school, and, as a matter OF
fact about one-third OF the eighty
students, which is the average number
in attendance, are usually college grad
yates. No girl Is admitted until she has
passed her twenty-third birthday-a
qualification intended not only TO pro-
tect against ill-considered resolutions,
but also to prevent young women
from undertaking tasks beyond their
strength, for the hours are long and the
work Is hard. Even after she has sue
cessfully passed the examination for
admission a girl is not received as a

got control of the racetrack and the

The CALIFORNIA; Start
About eighteen years ago the bust
ness men and well wishers of the city
came to the conclusion that we ought
to have a club, boom or no boom, and
they established the California club. 1t
was started by Dan Freeman, w. j.
Brodrick, Tom Rowan and other prom
inent citizens. 1t embraced the elite
of our people. the good fellows and the

gala feature of the club in which the
irresponsible young Englishmen had
shown themselves to be past grand
masters. As the financial clouds be-
came more and more overcast occa-
sional meetings were held the priu-
cipaI purpose of which was to replace
orders or checks by cash payments
for wines and other refreshments.

meetings a handsome degage young

never was known to have a cent that
he had not borrowed from some con-
filling Angeleno, was specially indig

coins of the realm, but the moneyed and
responsible members of the club had
come to the sticking place. and it was
determined to wind the Union club up.

were sold, the debts We're paid and the
