time to her books and her studies. From
her childhood she showed unusual inter

in Biblical times and through the ages of
the Christian era but in all her subse-
quent writings she never. for an instant,
showed any spirit OF resentment or Bit

a drama called "Gustavus Vasa," which
possessed considerable merit and two

under her name. Shortly after this
she suffered from severe Illness, from
which she never fully recovered.

that glycerin will not cause the growth

GET READY FOR ILLNESS.

The housekeeper who tries to prevent
and avoid illness for the members of her
household is, OF course, the wise sort of
woman. But in spite Of great efforts
illness will sometimes come. Then the
housekeeper who is prepared for 1t is
the one to be envied. Apparently. to be
always right. a woman must so run the
house she governs that illness will be
forestalled-by fresh air, cleanliness,
good food. a cheerful atmosphere, a dry
cellar-and that, II it does come. it can
be adequately met and COPIED with.
II there are small children in the fam
lily. who are constantly subjected to con-
tagion, as they are. of course. in the
public and other crowded schools, a plan
should be formulated for use in case
of contagious diseases. Perhaps there is
a third-foor room that could be quickly
isolated. There should be a bare floor,
iron beds and simple wooden chairs and
table No other furniture is needed A
cushion that can later be burned can
be used to make the hard wooden chair
comfortable for the nurse. Then bed
linen should be so sorted that the old
linen, still uniform, but soft and worn, Is
always available for use in case of ILL
ness The mother of the family should
always have several wash cotton frocks,
which she could don if she took the part
of nurse. and several large white aprons
would also be useful
If there is an experienced servant in
the kitchen she should be taught how
to cook for sick people. SO that she can
furnish the food called for by the doc
tor. If there is not such a servant, the
housekeeper herself should possess a
reliable book on invalid cookery. and
she should have ready to carry to the
quarantined room small gas stove and
two or three simple cooking utensils.
in which she can prepare the patients
food herself.
Methods of treating disease change
so rapidly nowadays that the home
nurse should trust to the doctors d.
rections for such details. She herself
should make an effort not to get ex-
cited. not to get too tired, and to fol-
low absolutely the instructions given
by the physician.

Where Is the Everyday" Dress?"

The everyday" dress is passing.
So is the "Sunday-go-to-meeting
dress, both of which were we'll estab'
lished sartorial institutions a genera,
ton ago. for in those days any wom-
an would have been deemed hopeless
" extravagant who did not carefully
differentiate between her best
clothes and those for Everyday
wear" Best" clothes were new, and
less durable. They were carefully put
away in a special clothes press after
each wearing and they were worn
revcrently, deferentially.
At church, at tea parties, for formal
calls they came into requisition, and
one could not be altogether comfort
able in them. One feared lest a show
er might come upon one in them and
breathed a sigh of relief when they
had been discarded unframed. For
every day there was the alpaca frock,
the simple cashmere, the simple linen
or calico.
But now even the poorly paid Of
hce worker wears chiffon and lace to
her dailv task. We wear the same
street costume for church and for
calling that we do for the Everyday
promenade, and our most expensive
frocks VIC wear with an indifference
and an ease that would have been
impossiblc to our grandmothers.
Don't YOU remember when white
gloves were reserved for gala occa-
sions? And now you wear them to
go marketing?
There arc two reasons for this
change, ono the rapid change in
modes which makes it necessary for
lis to wear our clothes out in sim
gle short season, and the other is the
greater extravaganza of the day,
combined with the decrease in the
cost OF hnery.
To the lover of thrift or the one
who clings tenaciously to all that
favors OF a generation gone there
was much OF merit in the old sys-
tenn. but in the cause of urbanity and
of general case we are glad to be
rid OF the best" frock.
Miss Edith Wynne Watthison re-
Gently said the main trouble with the
American voice was due to our ten
dency to shout.
Americans" she said, are not
sufficiently careful about the llngual
and vocal environment and influence
of their children. In England we take
very much more care to sec that our
children speak correctly. We do not
allow them to shout, we try to speak
corrcc :, when VIC are with them, and
we sec that their companions will not
iniurc their speech, so far as we pos
sibly can.
The first thing to care for is the
wav in which the child uses its voice
in speaking. And | should imagine the
best influences would be the Irish and
the negro. Both OF these use their
voices beautifully in speaking. and the
faults OF each would be counteracted
by the other. and tho tonal influence
therefore would be almost perfect

UNNECESSARY RISK"
EXPLAINED BY BRYAN
Declares 1t Seems Patriotic for Citizen
TO Avoid Risks That Might In
volve Country In War.

Hermosa Beach, Cali, July ID
William j. Bryan, former secretary Of
state, who is spending brief vacation
here with his son, issued a statement
today in explanation Of what he
meant by unnecessary risk" contain
ed in his comment in connection with
the latest German note. He said:
Amy traveller takes an unnecessary
risk when he goes into the war zone
on belligerent ship, knowing that it
is subject to attack by submarines. A
traveller also takes unnecessary risks
when he rides on neutral ship car
rying ammunition.
~ believe that our government
would be justified in separating pas
sengers from ammunition, but until
this is done American travellers would
be justified in refusing to take pas
sage on belligerent ships or a neutral
ship carrying ammunition.
IF patriotism requires a man to
risk his life for his country when
his country. is engaged in war, it
would seem to be patriotic for a citi-
zen to avoid risks that might involve
his country in war;
