On the Better Part of Loving
BY POLLY PENN.

It is an often discussed question as
!. to whether or not jealousy is a part of
love. Those who argue that it is, insist
that love cannot be love unless it's
claims are so imperious that jealousy
is inevitable A desire to possess solely
and exclusively is taken as evidence Of
the deepest affection.
It may be doubted If the most pro-
found love is actually built upon any
such selfish foundation. AS a matter Of
fact, the noblest love is anything but
selfish. It never seeks it's own gratifi-
cation. It is chiefly concerned with
the happiness of the object Of its affec-
ton.
When a noble heart loves, it says in
effect: Il love you! Ny love is not de-
pendent upon anything you may do or
say. Whatever makes for your highest
happiness is what I truly desire. If you
would be happier with another, then I
wish you to be with that other. It
makes no difference whether or not you
love me. Ny love for you is sufficient
to make my happiness. Tho I should
never see you again, go on my way re-
joicing. having learned thru you the
greatest lesson Of life-that it is more
blessed to love than to be loved.''
Alas, how few of us on earth attain
to love like that!
Everybody knows the story of Rus
kin s willingness to divorce the young
wife. whom he loved, in order that she
might find happiness as the wife of his

About a year ago Ethel noticed 4
few white hairs appearing in her raven

Two-story sandwiches are quite the
thing at afternoon teas and little sup;

it. The two are put together spread
sides up and are then topped with a
third slice, butter downward. There
is no end to possible combinations.
Cold boiled ham and tongue moistened
lightly with mayonnaise may cover one

A NARROWING TELEGRAM

man IS address, and, since his wife was
doing none too we'll, wrote out mes

him to return -
"The doctor gave the message to the
cook, who couldn't read. She forgot
to send it, and the next day the drum
mer came home Of his own accord. "
"He stayed day or two, found his
wife doing all right, and set out on his
rounds again. Nothing, as it hap

telegram was remembered by the cook.
With an exclamation of ,horror-you
know she couldn It read-she hurried to
the office, and sent to the drummer
that delayed message. When he read
the message that night at his hotel, he
was terrified. He was aghast. What
he read was this:
"' Another addition, son; your
wife very i'll; return at once.'
HE took the midnight train for
home. He was like man in a trance.

The speaker, a member Of the Aero

"On a September Sunday, standing
by the Arc de Triomphe, I counted nine

were beautiful in color-scarlet, blue,

watched them, for they were an ordi-

FOR THE HOME NURSE

The home nurse should have fresh,
clean washgowns, but without enough
starch to make them rattle. They should
clear the floor by several inches. Her
shoes should be the list shoes worn by
nuns and called in the shops s'sister IS
shoes at least they should have rub
Der heels. Her hair should be simply
and very neatly. arranged, and her
hands should be exquisitely cared for.
Creaking shoes, rustling papers, loud
whisperings and similar nerve-racking
sounds are more disturbing to the aver
age sufferer than the changing of the
passing car bells or the rattle and roar
of nearby trains. -.
, Don't allow loud talking, gloomy or
weepy visitors near the patient. Don It
sigh, frown and scold if things don It go
as you wish them to, and, above all, be
cheerful without being loquacious. A
low voice, serene, unfussy manner,
and pleasant smile are three blessed
attributes for nurse, amateur or 9TH
erwise. ..--~l.
The patients bed should be a high
and narrow iron cot, if possible. In
some of the hospitals several mattresses
are placed on bed if it is not high
enough, as it is much easier for doctor
and nurse to handle the patient than it
would be on a low, broad bed.
~ Have the room as bare as possible
no rugs near the bed, so that the
nurse will not be apt to slip, as one did
one day not long ago, pulling the pa
tient half out of bed in her descent.
The sickroom should if possible be
in quiet part Of the house, and ad
joining bathroom. If there is an oper
| fire and coal has to be put on, wrap the
Goals in pieces Of paper or in paper
bags, and lay them on the fire instead
! of shoveling in the usual way. This
will save great deal Of ear-rackine
noise.
Quiet, cheerfulness, and cleanliness
are the three essentials that the home
nurse should take as her watchwords

that the wax was not scratched off

into hot water long enough for the bits
of wax to melt and run off of their own
accord. The polishing of the brass was
the work Of the man who took care of

of this material world. whose main doc
trine is that we. must have what we
want at any cost to others, shifts suspi-

All, yes, but he could, wise scoffer-
wise only with the wisdom of this
world! His way was the one noble
way Of loving.
For whatever selfish travesties go by
the name Of love, the highest affection
is that which inspires us with holy
passion for the happiness of the other,
rather than our own happiness. True
love does not ask, ''How much am I
beloved?" It seeks only to love large
ly. It makes no claims. It only gives
claims. It desires nothing. 1t gives
all
In such love as this jealousy has
no part.
Jealousy is made up of desire and
selfshness And the highest type OF
love is purified past STOPPING to these.
Or if it does-for the noblest are but
flesh and blood-it realizes the place
from whence it fell and. tho painfully
and with tears, it tolls back once more
to its divine height, where to know the
joy of loving is all it asks.
