who are always so constituted. and the
various forms nursed might be elabo-
rated ad infinitum. but the most pro-
nounced type Is the invalid. This crea-
ture of nerves and imaginary Ills al
ways thinks herself neglected and Ill,
but can never prove 1t. and yet such
women, pure and simple cranks, can
paralyze the energies OF whole family.
There =, nothing more pitiable than
the position Of an ambitious boy or girl
who is absolutely crushed and barred
out of all prospects in life because OF
the vagaries of one whose morbid fan
cies create a role OF horrors by which
a girl or boy is reduced to state
worse than slavery.
I have known the brightest of girls
to be sacrificed most wantonly by the
utter selfishness Of mothers who
thought themselves such suffering
saints with but one object in life which
was to keep a daughter in abject sur
veillance.
One such, lovely, lovable. dainty and
accomplished, possessing voice of un-
usual power, range and sweetness, was
through her filial devotion wrecked in
mind and body. The girl knew no rest
day or night. The strain was some
thing horrible and she learned to sup
plement the want of sleep by the use
of drugs.
For several years the moderate use
was hardly perceptible. but the habit
grew until the mother was rudely
shocked into an awful awakening.

The wife who is always injured

Young people love brightness. They
