While it is true that the most gorgeous and elaborate rings that anyone could desire are offered [ in this assortment, I was delighted 1 I with some less expensive rings, which 1 saw there, so cleverly designed, with j beautiful platinum settings, that one j hardly realizes that small diamonds! have been used instead of large ones, yet the amazingly low prices ser\ es. as a reminder.

THE HOBBY OF A GENIUS Every genius specializes on one branch of work, and while Edison, the Inventive genius of our age has I given us scores of inventions, he is true to type in having one hobby, one pet invention, on which he lavishes I his attention, and that is tho re-crea -1 tion of music. It was Edison who ! first gave us the phonograph, but j Edison's new invention, the Diamond Disc Phonograph cannot be spoken of as other talking machines for it stands in a class by itself, as the one instrument by which music can be actually re-created. The fact that ( Edison made £SOO chemical experi ments and spent over a million dol | lars in research work, before he was satisfied with the material used for Diamond Disc records, gives some ! idea of the scientific and musical per fection of this phonograph.

With Co-operating Societies Helpful in Infantile Paralysis and Typhoid Epidemics The excellent work done during the past year by the Visiting Nurse As sociation was heard in reports pre sented at the annual meeting yesterday afternoon at the Nurses' Home, Front and Boas streets. "With co-operating organizations the association largely assisted in freeing the city of the in fantile paralysis plague and its pre ventative measures widely exploited, lessened the seriousness of the typhoid fever epidemic. Mrs. Lyman D. Gilbert, the vice president, presided, and in the report of the directors made by the secre tary, Jlrs. Harvey F. Smith, atten tion was called to the fact that "never before has the efficiency of the asso ciation been so severely tested as last year and never has the nursing force responded xnore adequately to the need." Welfare work for babies TVas begun early in the year and a "Baby Welfare Week" was successful car ried out with the aid of the Associ ated Aids, Pure Milk Society. Civic Club and Aid to the Visiting Nurses. The lly campaign helped much to save the life of the little ones, as did the crusades for pure milk, and pure ice cream. Mrs. Edward Z. Gross, the treasurer, showed the good financial standing of the society in her state ment. A child welfare nurse is being urged for the county to teach the mothers sanitation and the prevention worth so much than a cure. Superintendent's lloport In the report of Miss Mary E. Miller, usperintendent of the association, a re cord of 13,478 visits was kept of the special work of nursing thevplck, giving instructions in the simple methods of nursing and hygiene and of co-opera tion with various organizations for the promotion of the public health. During the typhoid epidemic, care was given to 125 patients and 1,106 nursing visits made. The Board of Health pamphlets on the prevention of the disease distributed, the Na tional Preparedness Division furnish ed disinfectants, bed linen and cloth ing; the Pure Milk Society supplied mosquito netting, fly paper, scrub brushes, etc., and with the aid of Mrs. Gilbert this association super vised the cleaning and equipment of the emergency hospital for convales cent typhoid patients. Harrisburg is a cleaner, safer city than it was a year ago and the live isolated cases of infantile paralysis here, in a center of travel tells of thorough preventive work. The co operation and willing support of the Sunshine society In work among the cripples and shut-ins has been most beneficial to many cases and mothers of these afflicted ones have been in structed by the superintendent how to adjust the braces and correct the deformities after a return from the hospitals. Assisting Organizations Mrs. John E. Fox presented the re port of the Pure Milk Society, show ing conclusively that without organ ized effort for the betterment of babies many of these little ones would not have withstood the heat of the sum mer with Its many ills. The Aid society of which Miss Dora Wickersham Coo is president, and Miss Sarah R. Denehy, secretary, has had five new members added to its roll. They have rolled bandages, made baby clothes, helped make a happy Christmas for inmates of the almshouse and helped several desti tute families with clothing and food. The Aid furnished medicines, hot water bottles, a baking oven for rheumatic cases and many little em ergency articles for the association. Tho officers just re-elected include: Mrs. A. P. L. Dull, president; Mrs. Lyman D. Gilbert, vice-president; Mrs. Harvey P. Smith, secretary; Mrs. Edward Z. Gross, treasurer; directors, Mrs. William E. Bailey, Mrs. B. F. Burns, Mrs, Paul A.
