Not even to this girl, who had witnessed all my worries, ought I to complain of the exasperating trifles which had made my life so uncomfortable in the two days just passed. For my mother-in-law, past mistress in the gentle nagging, had surpassed all records, including her own, in the days of preparation for her daughter's visit. Only the fear of a relapse, a fear which T knew had been sunningly festered by Miss Sonnot, had kept her from elbowing me aside and taking ctive charge of the household ffairs As it was she had kept every detail in her mind, and inquired at least a dozen times a day about the progress of evervthing from the polishing of the dining table to the results of the cakes Katie was carefully preparing. “TI know The little nurse's voice ssed in the two little words all the sympathy she was too well poised to offer more openly. “Thank yau.” I wanted her to know that T understood and valued her unspoken friendliness. “What is it you wished to ask me?"” “Have you any idea how much lenger you will require my services?” She hesitated a moment, then went on. “T know this is not quite usual, but vou know as well as T that vour mother-in-law does not need a trained nurse any longer, and I am expecting she will say so to me at any minute. Ordinarily, it would not matter, but | 1 promised a comrade of mine some {ime ago that if possible T would re- lieve her for three days on a chronic case she has been on for weeks., Her cister is to be married Monday. and she w to g0 tomarrow night and come back Tuesday. Of course if Mrz, Graham needs me I must send word ta my friend that T cannot keep my promise.

T understood the little nurse’s position. She did not wish me to tell my mother-in-law that she wanted to be velieved from the case. But, frankly, I wondered haw on earth T was to find out the clder woman's wishes in the matter. “I'll do the hest T+ n. promised, as I adjusted the last fa tening of my gown and put a brooch in the lace at my throat. As T glanced in the mirror T saw face held lines of worry would ever know how unspea dveaded this coming visit of Dicky's prilliant sister and her famous hus- band. “‘Margare my mother-in-law’s voice summoned me to her bedroom. Miss Sonnot with a little whimsical grimace at me glided past me and reached her side before T did “Do you knaw that it is nearly time for their train, that they will be here in half an hour?” the invalid de- n-anded. “You have been all of half an hour dressing.” As a matter of fact T had used but Alf of the time she mentioned upon my tailet. “The other half I had spent in a final tour of own apartment, and the other one on the floor above, which we had rented for the week in order that my sister- in-law might he given my room and be constantly near her mother, All Dicky's personal belongings and my own had been maved to the floor above, and the best raom in the upper apartment had been set aside for the use of the dls- t'inguished surgeon, Dicky's brother- fn-law. T had gone ecritically every room, the limitations of furnished apart- ments would permit, T had prepared a proper welcome for Dicky's rela- tives. But my mother-in-law's carping at- titude effectually pricked any little bubble of satistaction I otherwise might have had with my work. ““Are You sure Katie has everything on the table except the cream, the rolls, the water and the hot dishes?" she asked. ‘It is maddening to be ag helpless as I am to see to things. That girl will never in this world get that meal together praperly I am sure. And Edwin is used to such perfect service. Harriet has been so fortunate in her maids.” Edwin and Harriet!

She could keep her promise to her comrade without any ccmplications. I was sincerely glad for her. “Well! ternaon. I your check.” She had no idea that Dicky had turned his bank account over to me in order that I might try to get our affairs upon some regular schedule, and that I signed all checks. not attempt ta give her any ticn on the subject.

The words were like a flashlight, illuminating the reason for much of my mother-in-law’s fussing. She had a certain pride in our home, our care of her. She wished the daughter and scn-in-law with whom she had lived so long to believe that she was even more pleagantly situated with us than ‘with them. I felt my heart go out to her.

He uses it without trying to understand it and blames everything but himself if it gets out of order.”—Ellen Richards. “It's too much hother to get myself a lunch when I'm alone,"” says a neigh- bor of mine. “I just nibble a cracker when I feel faint.” She is an anaemic-looking person and she is always bewailing the fact that she cannot accomplish as much as some of her energetic friends. ““There's no use talking,” she savs sometimes, “I haven't got the strength, Where Does She Think Strength Would Come From?

You owe vour life to the fact that you have always eaten regu- larly and well. Mothers Are Apt to Neglect Them- selves, The habit of careless eating is one that mothers especially are addicted to. Not only do they fail to get good meals when they are alone, but whén they eat with the family they destroy their appetite and digestion by tak- ing all the least appetizing food. Or they are so anxious to see the others properly helped that they neglect themselves. In the long run this is not kindness to the children for what- ever means loss of strength and effi- clency for the mother means loss of some sort for the child. No one knows better than I what it is not to want to eat, but I think it is just as much our duty to keep efficient by eating enough as by ab- staining from alcohol. There are times when it seems as if a trap door closed in my throat after I have eaten a few mouthfuls. That means not that I do not need the food, but that I need more rest and outdoor air. It also means that I must try and eat or drink something nourishing, for if I let one meal time go by without eat- ing enough I shall be faint the next meal and have even more aversion to food. Of course there are a great many people who eat too much. Needless to say this is not for them, but for those who do not eat enough and who do not realize that giving the human en- gine enough fuel to keep it efficient is a duty.

FIELD TRAINING OF CONN. MILITIAMEN Special Appropriation for This State Amounts to Almost $17,000 (Special to the Herald.) Washington, May 30.—To. provide for field training of the orzanized militia of Rhode Island and Connecti- cut, New York and several other states carly in the summer a special appro- priation of $200,000 is asked by Sec- retary of War Baker to be rushed through congress immediately. The money would ordinarily be provided in the regular army appropriation bill, but that has only just come out of the house committee on military af- fairs and long delay will occur before its enactment into law, which would result in preventing large numbers of militiamen from being trained this year. The $200,000 special bill has al- ready passed the house and is expect- ed to pass the senate shortly. It will enable large numbers of national guardsmen and students in field artil- lery, coast guard’and sanitary troop organizations to acquire fleld training beginning about the, first of June, in encampments and maneuvers at Toby- hanna, Pa.; Sparta, Wis,; Fort Riley, Kans., and New York. Militia from about a dozen states are affected, It is contemplated, according to a memorandum submitted by retary Baker to Senator Chamberlain of Ore- gon, chairman of the senate commit tee on mifltary affairs, that $4,205.03 shall be expended for the Rhoda Is- land field artillery batteries, including $1,771.03 for pay, $2,400 for transpor- tation of the men and equipment and $532.50 for subsistence for men and horses For Connecticut field artillery it is proposed that nearly $17,000 shall be expended as follows: for pay $6,683.- 9%, for transportation $8,010, for sub- sistence $2,290. The total to be ex- pended for troops of the fleld artillery is about $66,000. Camp expenses, including horse hire, transportation of same, labor, forage, and preparatory work, at Tobyhanna, Sparta and- For: Riley, are estimated at over $53,000. Tor coast artillery training of 22 com- panies of New York militia $52.000 is wanted, Foy sanitary troops $25. 000 is desired, to be expended in con- nection with training units of that kind from Connecticut, Massa~huettts, Ohio, Missouri, Nebraska and Cal fornia. The allotments from this $25,000 for Connecticut sanitary troops are estimated to be as follows: pay $1,609.88, transportation $750.80, sub- sistence $350.40. To Dredge Duck Tsland Harbor. Senator Brandegee has an amend- ment to the river and harbor bill providing for dredging an area of 85 acres in_the Duck lIsland harbop of $71,000, which has become filled with silt. The ap- propriation is recommended by the army engineers, who also suggest that $5,000 per year is necessary to main- tain the improvement. The depth of the dredged area is to be 16 feet. Thre has already been spent on tnis harbor $416,000. Commenting upon the river and harbor bill, Senator Brandegee said “I have myself some doubt as to the merit of the policy of the intermal- waterway development. The country has been heretofore committed to it If what the senator from Utah says 1s correct, to wit, that after you velop these waterways the 1ailr are still going to keep the business, is perfectly evident that there are many projects where every dollar put it is utterly thrown away. “I mean from the standpoint of reaching the object desired by the senator from Nevada (Mr. Newlands), for instance, which he so eloquently described in his speech on his project the other day on the floor here, to wit, that these inland streamns will teem with commerce and that they will get their share of the business, even competing against the ral That is the theory on which I posed we were appropriating for development of these rivers. The sen- ator from Utah, if 1 understand his position, thinks that is a waste of money; that these internal waters ways can never be made to compete with the railroad systems.” Two other members of the ticut delegation made speeches both on the District of Columbia propriation bill.

May 30.—The executive committee of the National ity League recently adopted a resolution urging President Wilson to veto the Hay-Chamberlain Army Bill. The resolution also requests the oresident to urge congress to provide for adequate military establishment. The resolution is as follows Whereas, it is our conviction that the army bill recently passed by con- gress, and now before the president for his signature, is not totally inade- quate for our national needs, but that it sanctions wrong principles and methods, thus inevitably rendering it more difficult to obtain hereafter an adequate system of defense, and at the same time creating a false sense of security, and - Where: this the views of our officially expressed dations of army; Be It Resolved, that lief of the national that the president urged to veto it; and Be It Further Resolved, that a copy of these resolutions be transmitted to the president.
