wears as on her experience in actually
nursing patients.
II is absolutely essential that she be

thing an experienced nurse never does

and something is said that they do not
wish her to hear.
In the same watchful way the nurse
must regulate all conversation in the
sick room, and stop any person who IL

speech or by the topic Of discussion She

WOMAN INVENTS PACKING AID TO
KEEP CLOTHES FRESH IN TRUNKS

A society woman who travels much
has patented a clothes hanger that, her
friends say, will revolutionize the old
fashioned methods of packing trunks
and economic closet room IN small

stands on chairs 10 reach the hooks IN
her closets.
The invention was not worked out be-
cause the woman wanted something to
occupy her time, but because she spent
ten months out Of the year travelling.
and TO keep her clothes in condition it
became necessary for her TO rig up some
kind OF a contrivance that would keep
them from getting mussed and wrinkled
while in her trunks. and orderly when
hanging in her closet.
Her greatest difficulty was in hotels In
France and Germany. where the hooks
were all so high that she had TO stand
on chairs to reach them. Several bad
fsHs and a few black and blue spots

an invention that would enable her to

ANBLack Hat Again Popular

Some very lovely creations ars seen
trimmed with little tips twisted to re-
semble great pompons which stand
straight up on the turbans and toques
Hair ornaments were never so elaborate
and stunning, and indeed at the theater
It would seem to become as much a
nuisance as the theater hat itself. Real
and artificial flowers that defy detection,
jeweled roses OF velvet worn usually in
pairs, and all sorts of twists of velvet
are much seen lately, and liked.
Many whose faces can stand it like
the garland effects, which look as
though copied from some old Greek
model. --oye diamonds have been seen
lately at the theater than for manv a
year back. There is much about the ft:r
hat being passed. but in the shops Won
will find about as many in fur as ever.

turban shape. nothing can be more APP

Forget yr@soeH

Forget yourself. You will never do
anything great until you do. Self-con-
sciousness is a disease with many No
matter what they do. they can never
get away from themselves. They be-
come warped upon the subject OF self
analysis, wondering how they look, how
they appear, what others will think of
them. how they can enhance their own
interests. In other words, every thought
and every effort seems TO focus upon
self; nothing radiates from them.
No one can grow while his thoughts
are self-centered. The sympathies of the
man who thinks only OF himself are soon
dried up. Seif-consciousness acts as a
paralysis to all expansion, strangIes en-
IaFgement, kills aspiration, cripples ex-
eeut!ve ability. The mind which accom-
pnshes things looks out, not in; it is
focused upon its object, not upon itself
The immortal acts have been uncou-
sciousIy performed. The greatest pray
ers have been the silent lodgings, the
secret yearnIngs of the heart. not those
which have been delivered facing a crit
zeal audience. The daily desire is the
perpetual prayer, the prayer that is
heard and answered. Success
