There is 50 much of romance and
achievement I'm the career of Henry
Bernstein, the author of the brilliant
play of "The Thief which Charles
l'rohman is to present at the Grand
that it is not surprising the pub
lie is eager to learn more of the
author who has seven dramatic
triumphs to his credit in as many
years.
Before Henry Bernstein stood in the
limelight of Paris as dramatist of
the first magnitude, he was motor
ious by turns as a gilded youth and
reckless spcndthrift. AS the grandson
of William Scligman, ltinsman Of
the influential New York bankers OF
the same name, the young man in
hcritcd from his mother fortune of
nearly two million francs. This lc-
gacy he disspated with the speed of
the winds, and soon found every
avenue of income cut off.
The stage had always exercised a
fascination for Bernstein He accord
ingly took to playwriting, with III
tie encouragement however from MS
mothers family, so little, i'm fact wllcn
his first play was produced Bernstein
of his family, alone sat i'm the gal
lcry. But thereafter his fame incrcas-
ed by leaps and bounds, and 1t was
while lie was purvcying dramatic ma
tera | for these illustrious artists
Madame Simonc lie Bargy and NJ
Guitry, that the Scligmans relcnted
and came to the conclusion that II
their relative could spend fortune
he at least could earn one. Paris stlll
relates the incident that old William
Scligman attended performance of
his grandson's LA Raffale', and af-
ter the play the old banker embraced
the proud young author and forgave
his past offenses of wild expenditure

same. and it is estimated that TINS

Treating the Bed

Perhaps the most important object
in the room is the bed. Brass or en-
amclcd iron is the best, because so cas-
lily cleaned The springs should be firm
and strong. and the mattress is much
better III one piece than III two The
hospital bed IS higher than the ordinary
bed, being about twcntysiX inches from
the floor. Even then it is sometimes
necessary to raise it still more This
is done by means of stout blocks of the
desired height fitted with grooves in
the top, into which the bedpOSts fit Sc
curely. II this is not provided for the
bed is liable to drop TO the floor when
moving the patient or changing the mat
tress. A high bed is a great convc
nience to the nurse.
An appliance which is easily made at
home and affords the greatest comfort
to the patient IS for the purpose OF pre-
venting the patient from slipping down
in bed. 1t is a board as long as the bed
is wide and eight to ten inches wide

This room should he finished without
angles at the joining OF ceiling and
walls and floor. The walls should be
perfectly smooth and hard, finished with
oil paint OF in some way suitable for
washing. Windows and doors should be
set with as little woodwork as possible
Draperies should be absent. unless the
disease is not contagious, and even then
there should be only enough TO give an
air OF comfort or relieve the baroness.
The floor should be without cracks and
rugs should be used sparingly, and be
OF a kind not easily moved. Much dis
comfort results from rugs that slip cas-
lily.
