Xfcfoffler) /AlnTene-s By ELLA WHEELER WILCOX k Guard yourself Ifrom unprofitable conversation; con versation which wastes time. energy, thought and speech, and brings no good result to speaker or listener. One does not want to talk al ways on serious or profound subjects. To hear serious or profound conversa tion con 11 nua 11 y would make life so ponderous that it would become in- ■ supportable to most of us. Wit, humor, repartee have their profitablo part In life. The man or book, or ?)lay, or recreation, which makes us augh In pure glee gives us a tonic for mind and body. There Is no system of calisthenics so beneficial to health as the habit of hearty, rib-shaking laughter. The laughing cure has been advo cated for all ills of mind and body. The patient is told to stand before the: mirror and force laughter for ten min utes at a time. It is declared that this process will drive away melancholy, cure depres sion and put to rout all nervous mala-* dies arising from oversensitiveness and lack of self-confidence; and that hope, courage and ambition will soon reor ganize the disordered realm of the mind and bring a happy train of help ers in their rear, including health and success. Therefore, any conversation or oc cupation of time which causes us to laugh at least once in the day is to bo commended. It is even well to be frivolous at times: to think and talk of light and •superficial matters, such as dress and fashions, and dancing and sports. Just as nature does not give all her energies to producing nourishment for her creatures, but takes earth space to send forth flowers and plants which have no practical use save their beauty, so may our minds be occupied at times with light themes. But there are few of us who do not Their Married Life By MABEL HERBERT URNER The long corridor, the mingled od or of ether and antiseptics, the uni formed nurses, the air of hushed ex pectancy—it was all a part of the hos pital atmosphere. "I should like to see Mr. Curtis — Mr. Robert Curtis," murmured Helen in a subdued tone to the nurse who approached her. "Will you wait a few moments? Mr. Curtis's sister is with -him now, and the doctor wishes him to have only one visitor at a time." Just then the door down the corri dor opened, and Carrie came out. She greeted Helen stiffly, and the nurse hurried off, leaving them to gether. "Don't let him talk, it only excites him. And I wouldn't stay too long," admonished Carrie with the superior air that always nettled Helen. The doctor came by now, and Carrie approached him. But he was gravely noncommittal, for he was only young interne, and the eminent Doctor El liott was in charge of the case. Leaving Carrie talking to him, Helen followed the nurse, who now came to show her into Bob's room. It was the typical hospital room, depressingly sanitary and bare. Bob lay with his back to the door and did not see her until she went around to the other side of the bed. "Hello, Helen," with a faint motion as though to stretch out his hand. "I'm in rotten luck."

Sunt WEDNESDAY EVENING (Copyright, 1914, by Star Company) waste precious, precious, moments and still more precious mind-stuff In what we know. If we pause to think of it, is unprofitable conversation or worse than unprofitable. Have you not heard a whole family of Intelligent beings use fifteen golden moments in a heated discussion re garding the precise date on which some unimportant event occurred? One said it was the tenth; another was certain it must have been the ninth, or the eleventh—certainly not the tenth; a third was sure it hap pened an entire week earlier or later; .and so on and so forth. And when the matter was settled or not settled, no one was a whit benefited. It is only when one is on the witness etand or some vital issue is at stake that such a use of memory and words is of the least importance. Again so much valuable time is lost, in discussing the weather. The weather is a topic one naturally finds in tho foreground in lands where the thermometer prides itself upon rapid climbs and sudden descents. But even in the tropics, where the temperature does not vary over ten degrees In the entire twelve months, people find the weather a time-killing topic. In our ever-varying and never duplicated Reasons I have heard sensi ble human beings wax almost violent, disputing whether last year or the year before was not warmer or colder than this year; or whether such un seasonable weather had ever before been known; or trying to prove that the first snows fell earlier or later some other year than this. Surely all this is unprofitable con versation. It Is not instructive, interesting or amusing. Gossip Is rnprofltablc and Also Ma lignant to the Mind It does not develop the reasoning powers to give food to the mind. And it entertains no one. Gossip is not ortly unprofitable, but it s a malignant substance, dangerous to the mind. If our callers introduce gossip, like a poison needle, we can readily change the subject and refuse the inocula tion. "They want you to be very quiet." "Oh. they don't want me to breathe! Why don't they dose me up and get me out of here. All they do is jab a thermometer down my throat." "But Bob, you're sick—very, very sick." "Well scribbling my temperature on that chart up there isn't going to make me any better. And that night nurse"— But the exertion of talking was too much, and now he lay with closed eyes and labored breathing. Helen smoothed the already smooth covers and watched him anxiously. How gaunt and changed he was, and his hand was burning hot. She knew that he had been partly unconscious during the night. Doctor Elliott had told Warren that this morning. And now, as she waited, she could see he was dozing off. He still held her hand, &nd she did not withdraw it for fear of arousing him, In the oppressive silence of the room, Helen could hear the faint ticking of his watch as it lay on the table beside the bed. Even the noises from the Street seemed euriously sub dued and far away. At length Bob stirred and glanced up at her. She leaned forward now, determined to ask the question that had been beating in her mind ever since she knew he was seriously ill. "Bob, do you want Louise to know you are ill? Shall I write her?" For a moment he did not answer. "What difference will it raako to her?" bitterly. ' "That's an evasion. I want to write, but not *without your consent. Just say that I may—that you'll not be angTy." Helen's heart beat fast as she waited for his answer. There was a long silence. She could not see his face. He had turned it from her. Then the door opened and the nurse entered. At a glance she saw Bob's labored breathing, and turned to Helen with a w r hispered, "I'm afraid you'd better not stay any longer." Helen rase reluctantly. She lin gered by the bed a moment, hoping Bob would speak to her. But as he did not, she tip-toed out and waited in the corridor. The Women's Ward "What are you giving him for nourishment?" she asked when the nurso came out, a decided frown un der her stiff cap. "Principally albumen water. He cannot take milk." "Albumen water?" questioned Helen. "The white of an egg and a little lemon." The nurse hesitated, and then added coldly, "Doctor Elliott will be here at & and I hope he'll leave an order for fewer visitors while his temperature is so high. You can see yourself how they excite him." Knowing Bob, Helen wondered if the fact of visitors being excluded would not excite him more. She had always a dread of hospitals, and now she wished that he could have less scientific and more human treatment. This nurse was undoubtedly capable, but she was cold and austere. As Helen was leaving, in the con fusion of corridor she took the wrong turn and found herself before the en trance of a free ward. It was a woman's ward, a long room with rows of narrow white beds. Al most every bed was taken, and Helen's heart ached as she saw the faces on the pillow, patient faces, querulous faces, but all of them pale, haggard and lined with suffering. The nurse directed her back to the private ward elevator, which took her down to the main hall. Outside the sunlight seemed strange after the gloomy deprssing atmosphere of the hospital. For the rest of the day, Helen was in the throes of indecision. Erom Merchant* A Miner* Trana. Co.

To read what is painful, vicious, or terrible, unless we are prepared to go forth an endeavor to relieve the con ditions of which we read, is unprofit able. The same time devoted to music or a language would soon bring us an accomplishment. To Talk About Disease Usually Results in Self Hypnosis To sit and listen to the stories of terrible surgical operations, or to re late them. Is a popular method of in dulging in unprofitable conversation with many women. And it is a sure method of inviting sickness, and maladies which may lead to similar operations. Every thought and every word lias its effect upon our physical structures. In Proverbs xii: IS, we read "The tongue of the wise is health"; in the same book, "In the multitude of words there wanteth not sin; but he that re fraineth his lips is wise." And yet again, "A wholesome tongue is a tree of life." Cultivate wholesomeness in your conversation. Invite it from others. Talk of good things: of happy things; of great things; and of clean things. There are so many interesting topics which come under ,this category. When you are obliged to speak of the bad, the sad, the petty and the unclean things, get it over as soon as possible and cease to think of them afterward. Just as you might be forced to take something nauseating in your mouth, and as you would go and rinse your mouth with an anti septic afterward, so hasten to talk or good and «weet things,"*and to make your affirmations after your unpleas ant talk has ended. Your thoughts and your conversation are btiilding your character and shaping your fu ture. Do not indulge in unprofitable con versation ! And do not be afraid to reYnain si lent when you have nothing of inter est or value to say! the first of Bob's illness she had felt she should write Louise. Yet if for all these weeks Louise had been de terminedly schooling herself to "for get"—would not the knowledge that Bob was sick undo much of that? Helen shrank from the responsibil ity of anything that might result in bringing them together again. Yet if anything should happen to Bob— if he should not get well Louise might always blame her. When Warren came home at six, he plainly showed his anxiety. He had not been to the hospital since morn ing. but was going after dinner. "Father's there now. just had him on the wire. He'll stay until I come. Tell Nora to put dinner on right away. Don't want much anyway." In less than half an hour' he had gulped down a hasty dinner, and was on his way to the hospital. Bad News For Helen, it was a long, lonely evening of anxious brooding. Warren had said he would be hack by nine, but it was after ten before he came. | "Ho's worse," briefly, as Helen met him in the hall. "Temperature 104. | Unconscious part of the time." "Unconscious!" "They sent for Doctor Elliott, that's why I waited. He says there's no danger" to-night—but that's all he would say." Helen had only once before seen Warren deeply afTected, and now she stood silently, helplessly by while he walked up and down, his hands clasp ed behind him. "Dear," she ventured at length, "don't you think we ought to wire Louise?" "What for?" savagely. "She's noth ing to him now." "But don't you think she ought to know?" "No, I don't!" he almost shouted. "But, dear, maybe maybe she could do more for him than the doc tors or any one else?" At this suggestion Warren fairly snorted. Helen said no more, but his report that Bob was unconscious had decided her. She would take the risk —she would wire Louise! It was almost eleven—how could she get the message off to-night? There was a telegraph office only a few blocks away, but if she sent "for a messenger Warren would know when he came. At last she thought out a plan. She would wait until Warren was taking his bath and could not hear her — then she would phone the message. She had never sent a telegram bv telephone, but she knew it could be done. The Telegram It was almost twelve before War ren finally went in to his bath. As soon as she heard the water running, Helen ran to the phone, and in a low voice called up the telegraph office. "I wish to send a message to Palm Beach. How can I prepay it?" "That's all right, it's charged on your telephone bill." Then Helen read 6lowly the mes sage she had written out. "Louise Whitmor'e, Hotel Royal Poin ciana, Palm Beach. Fla.: "Bob is very ill. Unconscious. Doctor admits condition is serious. Thought T ought to let you know. No one knows I'm wiring. "HELEN." The operator read it back for ac curacy. "What time will that be delivered?" she asked. "Then you don't want it sent as a night letter?" "Oh, no, no; I want it delivered at once! How long will it take?" "It should be there in two hours— three at the most." In two or three hours! By 3 o'clock Louise would know. What would she do? Would she take the first train for New York? If she did—would her coming help Bob, or might she be bad for him? Might he even refuse to see her? Helen spent a sleepless night, anguishing over every possible out come of her telegram. Yet even her intense anxiety could not wholly submerge her innate love of the dramatic, and there was a thrilled undercurrent of expectancy for the emotional possibilities of the situa tion that Louise's -return would pre cipitate.

Bowman's sell May Manton Patterns Madame Ise'bell Open* Her Mail Box and Talka of Facial Surgery and Sallow Skint 1 - ■ Some days my correspondence is so In* Mreating that I am tempted to share It with my readers and It often reminds m« of subjects that I would like to talk about A pupil writes me In regard to facial surgery, whether I would advise It for deep frowning lines that she says sha Is unable to remove by massage. First of all I do not advise facial sur gery except In serious cases where there Is some absolute facial deformity. It la an expensive process and the results are somewhat problematical. It should only be entrusted to the hands of a qualified surgeon of the first rank. The operation my correspondent refers to is a simple one. It consists of cutting the skin near the hair line back of the temples and drawing back the skin, that Is, taking a little seam In It so that the loose skin over the forehead will be tight ened the lines disappear. This opera tion is painful, and It sometimes leaves a scar. Let us assume for argument's sake that It does not leave a scar, what are the results? When the operation Is a success It leaves the forehead for the moment perfectly smooth and unllned. Results Not Lasting. TTnfortunately, the permanence of these good results cannot be guaranteed. If the habit of frowning is still Indulged In, the lines will return, for the skin Is extremoly elastic and will continue stretching. In such a case the painful, expensive opera tion must be repeated. To rid oneself of frowning lines first of *ll stop frowning. This is due to nerv ousness or to defective eyesight and eith er case can be corrected. I know of one woman who cured a bad case of frowning that gave her a most disagreeable look by working always In front of a mirror. Whether she was sewing, writing or read ing, she would have a mirror In front of her and from time to time watch her ex pression. In a short time she could feel herself frowning and was able to correct the habit without the aid of th^mlrroß, Persistent Sallowness. Another correspondent asks advice as to a persistent sallow condition of the skin. She adds that her general health Is good and that she Is careful In regard to diet Chronic sallowneas In the case of a person In good health may be due to two things; a badly balanced diet or In activity of the little blood vessels feeding the skin. Choose a diet without too much starch, that Is, cut down the amount of bread and potatoes eaten. Eat plentifully of fruit, green salads and raw onions If they do not oocaslon Indigestion. Drink plentifully of water, but avoid coffee and strong tea.
