surroundings that is not disturbed py
inconvenience and even hardshlps,
Mrs. Nrooman has gotten more out OF
her many years of travel abroad than
the average traveller.
The strongest note in her character
is her genuine delight in doing things
that other people usually find cross
and burden. II is not matter OF
self-sacritice, because she gets as much
pleasure as she gives, and it is so
much an obsess.on with her that it has
become d religion. Through the ex-
preston of these tendencies she has
found and adopted a different philoso-
phy of life, now becoming best known
by the term Silent Unity.
Always absorbed in transcendental,
sociological and spiritual subjects. Mrs.
Nrooman found in the teachings and
precepts of the Society of Silent Unity
a perfect storehouse of knowledge and
the logical solution of many problems.
While abroad she spent much time in
the study of unity and is now a most
ardent disciple of this particular philos-
ophy.
Through unity, which now has a wide
following all over the world, Mrs. Vroo-
man says: "All limitations, both mem
tai and physical, are set aside, the mind
becomes unfettered and Is capable Of
giving expression to an ideal. Unity
requires and encompasses complete
subjugation of the personal note; ere
ates a dependence upon the spirit that
is within each and every one of us. a
dependence upon the subconscious mind
which never fails us.
We attain a realization that we can
do nothing of ourselves, and when this
comes, the power that is within US. that
is boundIess, works for the accomplish
ment of our purpose, and the result
is far beyond anything We could have
done of ourselves
ITO me-" continued Mrs. Vrooman,

and comforting theory of life. 1t is not,

FAREWELL PARTY
 FOR MRS. BERGMAN

Patrons of the Circle City hotel gave a farewell party and dance last night in honor of Mrs. Mary Bergman, whoais retiring from the management of the place to assume charge of her own splendid new place, the Bergmann. The dining room of the hotel was cleared of the tables and other furni- ture and the place given over entire ly to the dancers. It was real old fashioned dance-something unusual in Juneau of late years. It carried the memory of many sourdough back a space of years to hear the once fa- miliar balance all-swing your part ners."
 Many of the prominent and older families of Juneau were present and active participants in the enjoyable af. fair.
 The Circle City hotel has been under the management of Mrs. Bergman for number of years and became a fa- yorite camping place for miners and prospectors. Every winter the little colony of prospectors has continued to grow larger and more attached to the place and to Mrs. Bergman, who became a sort of mother to them all.
 The Circle City will be managed, be- ginning with tomorrow, by William Short who recently purchased the property.
