Most 'American girls can easily decide
for" themselves the question of vocation.
The majority o them marry -when their
ears of girlhood and Its gaieties are past.
But the 'girl who. through Xorco of cir
cumstances, must work to earn her daily
bread and who would not deviate from the
purely womanly which she must retain to
make marriage the consummation of her

to nature's laws, be mother and mistress
of the home. But facts are truthful and
whatever the cause may be there are
among us mkny young women who
must work to live.
If questioned, it is generally revealed
that father is .dead. Or he may have
failed both in health and wealth,, leaving
a family of daughters dependent upon
themselves. To such girls I am talking

are forced to battle against the world. If
you want to marry be a nurse. Few
girls have ideals centered about anything
that could be higher than a perfect home
and such a one will not usually be dis
appointed in attaining her heart's? desire

You may be secretary, or stenographer,
or clerk, the salaries are sufficient) yet
there Is always the difference of posi
tion between a girl and her employer
which, though she may ignore, is not
easily overcome. It is not so with the
professional trained nurse. Her position
deserves men's highest respect at all
times which tends to develop In her a per
sonality and elevation of character that
few Cornell can maintain in any other
work. It teaches her to. control the minor
weaknesses of her disposition, and by the
example of superior nurses set constantly
before her, the highest types of pure wo
manhood are developed.
A Tiurse's life Is not a poem, nor are
the high standards always obtained, but
nurses, as students, are such a jolly lot
of girls, and fun, so necessary a recre
ation, that a sense of humor and the
ludicrous conceives many a sidelight of
comedy in the tragedies of life which so
balances it that a nurse Is rarely despon
dent, never sad.
Here iis that one finds the large bux
om girl nicknamed "Billy" or "Sam" and
she who during her probation makes some
unheard-of blunder carries through all
her course a suggestive name 'to remind

The llttlo red-haired nurso who is
known as "Reddy" has a gentle but de
spondent -patient down the half in No.
10, and does many things to arouse her
enthusiasm. A great commotion occurs
one day when Bcddy rushes into No. 10,
plumps herself upon the bed and presses
her electric- button till the bell rings
furiously in the diet kitchen. Every
nurse in the ward hearing it thinks No.
10 must be suffocating, and rushes to
Iteddy's aid. Itcddy looks up innocently
and asks In a weak voire for the janitor
to please adjust the sunlight In the gar
den. Perhaps it then dawns upon the bunch
of girls that Reddy is personating a very
fat and fussy Senator's wife, No. S. who
requires assistance from the entire hos
pital staff when she wishes to descend in
pomp to the garden for her morning air
ing. As Reddy walks very sedately down the
hall a few minutes later, a superinten
dent nurse who happens to be passing ob
serves Various covert winks in the direc

and thojsuperlntendent passes on, aware
that something has occurred which she

been installed as youngest member of
Modjeska Talks of the Staj
DON'T blame girls for going on the !
1 stage, although I don't encourage it.
Even without talent they stand one good j
chance they may marry a rich husband!"
Mmo. Modjeska laughed as she said it,
and her bright eyes twinkled. Then, "but
that holds good of typewriters, too," she
added.
The great Polish actress, who has come
on from her California home to appear at
her testimonial in the Metropolitan Op-era-House,
New York, tomorrow night,
carries into private life the dignity of
manner and charm of personality which
playgoers recall in her Lady Macbeth and
Mary Stuart.
"I never encourage young women to go
on the stage unless they show, marked
talent," she said. "It is such a hard
career for a woman unless she is tal
ented. How can I tell Vhether they are
talented?"
"Oh. talent is a mystery." she replied,
with the ghost of a little sigh. "It is in
describable. Sometimes it is made of
great suffering, sometimes of great joy.
Most great actors are born they act be
cause they can't help It.
"However small the part a girl is play
ing, I can always tell if she has talent.
Partly it lies in the power to imitate.
With -good powers of mimicry, a good
voico and a pretty face a girl can usually
make her way on the stage, though not,
of course, to the highest art.
"Every actor has to begin by imitating
somebody else. It requires exceptional
talent to know what to do without being
told. So one has to be taught, the same
as in any other art.
Likes Jolly Plays.
"A good constitution is essential to suc
cess in acting, and no woman who is not
well developed physically or who haanot
a strong constitution has any business on
the stage.
"I was probably the thinnest actress
that ever faced an audience when I be
gan, but one may be thin and yet, strong.
No, I never went in for physical culture
or beauty curves. I never thought about
beauty anyway, but only of my soul and
my work. To cultivate the mind that is
the most necessary."
Mme. Modjeska was reticent when asked
to-.talk'-abettt the American stage.

smiles very sweetly and tells him all
about this huge sterilizer and its heavy
door, and if he could spare a moment to
go down and assist her. please, she will
attend to it at once. Our authoritative
doctor quite loses his sternness, and upon
opening the door even volunteers to go
inside (at her suggestion) and "fix the

by this time, and apparently strives in

sent to liberate a very red and sweat

never again exchange for its original
whiteness the stains of iron rust. Dr. So
and So may have used language in the
presence of the orderly that would not
bear repeating. He avoided one nurse's
presence for many weeks. Perhaps in
that time he had learned that a
nurse is under competent teachers, and.
to them she is responsible for her con

pressed. That sounds strange now, when I
have to say that I think the tendency to
naturalistic acting is entirely too strong
today. It may do very well for some of
the intensely modern plays, but it is, of
course, outr of the question for Shake
speare or any of the classics. Art can
never be Nature.
"Acting realistically means most of the
time that an actor is merely playing him
self. For that season so few of the mod
ern actors play Shakespeare well. In his
plays there arc characters to be por
trayed, and it is not enough for a man
or a woman to go on the stage and play
himself or herself.
"I have always tried to make myself
the character I was acting by the means
of my imagination. I tried to imagine the
situation and the surroundings. When I
am convinced that I cannot feel what the
character Is, then I know that I am not
going to play it as I should. I have often

The ikiadaT Orrjtoaian sj.r "Oncir,
chef of "the Waldorf -Astoria. .They
are lateeded for the 'average .'house
wife, and preparation of the dUbes Is
not beyond the average cook's ca
pacity. The article for next .Sunday
will deal with "A ' Late Supper." In
this the famous chef -nill tell how to
make a digestible naiad, suited to uni
versal taste.
I S THERE any one who docs not revel
in the taste of a light, foamy and de
licious omelet?
It .so, It should be reserved for con
noisseurs of " gastronomies! art, those who
understand the mr.its that hold it to
be the queen of dishes .'
The fame of the omelet Is throughout
the land and limited .to no cotintry.' No
one who has ever been enthralled in its
billowy, savory qualities would ever con
cede it to be merely a breakfast dish. It
is an achievement.
The omelet Is prized in every walk of
life, -from the President's mansion down
to the man who must cook his own meals
before the campflre.
An omelet and a. cup of coffee would
satisfy the most fastidious, and Indeed
docs constitute -the breakfast of many
who live for the Joys of life alone.
Then, to malce It to perfection, observe
this recipe: Beat the yolks of six eggs
till -they are almost white; then .beat the
whites for the same length, of time, and
pour them over the yolks: add a dessert
spoonful of chopped .mushrooms, one
teaspodnful of mixed herbs, one dessert
spoonful of finely chopped parsley, a
few drops of lemon juice, pepper and salt,
six tablcspoonfuls of milk, and three tea
spoonfuls of flour and beat all well to
gether for. at least five minutes. Peel a
sma)l onion, -slice and fry It in butter?
when the butter is boiling hot .take out
the onion antl pour in the omelet. Hold
the pan over a clear fire" In rather a
slantlng- position.'to keep the omelet from
spreading; when fried a light brown fold
it over with a slice." and. serve very hot.
A little, grated tongue may be mixed
with it. if desired.
. The rarest of savory - dishes, however.
loses Its charm when not promptly
served.
At night, before retiring, an omelet
would serve as a refreshing and satis
factory repast when the desire is for
something light and sustaining, and a
dish which one may not hesitate to- offer
to a guest.
Omelet is associated with such meats
as sliced boiled kidney, minced tongue,
and the ever delicious breakfast' bacon.
the latter, broiled, of course.
While the plain omelet, is made to suit
the requirements of every one, there
are many and various ways in which
fb serve this dish; for instance, it may
be made with herbs, such as parsley;
with potatoes, with salmon, with lobster.
with sardines, with truffles, with shrimp,
to say nothing of tomatoes and shallots.
But of all the varied ways of preparing
this, to tempt the palate of a lover of
delicious viands." the plain omelet cannot
be excelled, either as, to the excellence
of its quality or the many uses to which
It may be put.
An omelet should be cooked to a turn,
and its tempting qualities He much in
the color It is given w.hen done It should
be a light brown.

in
dellghtfuU f-uburb of JDrcsden, where he
always keeps floating from hia window a
large-American, flag. The youngster i the
last of the eight children of Mme. Schu-mann-Hcink.
and lie is as proud of the
name George Washington Schumann-
LHcInk as he Is of having been born in
the I-nlted States. He is as plucky and
gamely asaertive as If he came on both
sides from good, old Revolutionary stock.
One of the Dresden dailies recently print
ed a story which is typical of the boy.
With several playmates, Ueorge Washington-
Schumann-Helnk was skylarking In
the grounds about his home when one of
the boys said something about "Our
Kaiser." Immediately the little Schu-mann-Heink
cried out, "Your Kaiser, you
mean; the head of ray Government is tne
President of the United Stales."
A very' wealthy woman living only a
short distance from the home of former
President Grover. Cleveland, at Princeton.
N. J., heard this story from the lips of
Mme. Schumanh-Helnk while she was
playing her engagement in "Love's Lot
tery" in New York City, and It made
what Is known as a "hit" with her. One
of the first letters Mme. Schumann-Hcink
received on her arrival in Chicago -contained
a deed to. 50 acres of land lying
quite close to Princton University. It
was from the woman on whom the atory
made such an impression. She wrote:
"I like to encourage the kind of patriot
ism you have Instilled. In your youngest
son. Therefore I want you to make him
a present of this land with my compli
ments. It is valuable now, but will be
much more so before he arrives at the
United States voting age."
The United States flag is to . George
Wahlngton Schumann-Helnk the prettiest
color scheme ever Invented. When his
mother was at her home- last August the
boy Insisted that he must have a large
silk United States flag flying- from his
bedroom window in the second floor of
the Koetzschenbroda villa. Investigation
showed Mme. Schumann-Helnk that the
authorities would object to the .flying of
a foreign flag from any building unless
& German one of the same size and tex
ture should be unfurled alongside. Little
Schumann-Helnk, a nimble wit if. ever
there was one, solved the difficulty in. an
instant. He said: "All right, we'll have
a German flag made at the same time
and hang that out of sister's window.
She was horn In Germany and won't
care." That Is why a big flag- of the
United Staes and one of the,klnd which
represents Germany are found 'fluttering
in. tbe.breese on .every' day the elements
.permit In the'etskk-ts of classic Dresden.

Songs of tho Wind.
Booklovers' Magazine.
THE SOUTH WIND.
Gently stirring rose and palm tree.
Softly, slow;
Stealing sweets from rose and cereus,
VVhlsp'rine low;
Through a. world of fragrant wlldnew.
To the cold north bringing jnlldneea.
With the breath of spice and orchid
Do I Mow.
THE EAST WIND.
Damp and raw from the world of -waves;
Through canvas and rigging. I madly beat;
"With the stinging- tang ot the ocean's nlt
I lash the crews of the flyingVfleet.
And fishwives weep when they bear my song:
Tangle ot froth and sullen roar.
Bodies untoesed on a frozen shore.'
THE WEST WIND.
The dust ot the desert, tho grass ot the
pralrifcs.
The rush of wild horses, the rustle-of- grain.
I weave into rhythmic accord with' the odors
. Of pine, of the' mountain and sage of tho
plain.
The song that r ring Is the song of the open
The crashing of comets through infinite
space.
The earth's deep heart throbblngs, the mur
mur o' rivers
All sorrows and joys is its measure sad
place. THE NORTH WIND.
Trom the frosted harp of the god of'Ics
I strike the, chill chords as I stag to raea
Of blistering, cold and blinding snow.
Of frozen specters of living, woe.
Of dim ice caverns and splintered air,
Of. dazzling stretches ot glacial frlare.
Of -mile, upoa miles of fflecfcless white.
Arid over It all
The crimson aa4 gold of the northern light.
