GENERALLY A POOR EXCUSE ’erson Who Says “I Haven’t Time" Most Frequently Means ”1 Haven’t Managed Well." I ack of time, wisely declares Anne Rittenhouse, is usually lack of organzation which Is borne out by the tact chat the busiest men and women who have accomplished much In their Ilves ire those to whom we turn when we want something quickly done, and we are not kept waiting. That is an experience so common to all of us that it does not need enlarging. We often ask ourselves why this Is so, and if we would only search deep enough we would find the answer in the pow or of organization and elimination ' possesesd by those persons. A woman will tell you with an extravagant loss of nervous vitality, how much she has done, how it keeps her from getting her costume finished or ' an important book read, or notes written, or friends attended to, or the newspapers glanced over; and, while she is telling you how little time she has because she is so rushed she is using up valuable moments In which i much could be accomplished; also tiring her thinking and vocal faculties and rasping her nerves. If she would give over the half hours a day that she expends in saying how much she has to do in actually doing the things she hasn't the time to do she would be astonished and delighted at her achievements and freer from nervous excitement I than she has ever been. Talking takes it out of one, and a constant repetition of how much one has to do and how difficult it is to find time for the right things or the artistic finish of any occupation only increases the burden of those things, and, worse still, accentuates them to such a degree that they grow out of all proportion to their value. A strong application of Christian Science right here, in its doctrine that brain pictures become actualities if one indulges in them and that we create trouble.for ourselves by talk ing, of it all’ the time, would save nervous strain in a remarkable way and make the wheels of life run far more smoothly. Great Discovery, That. Doctors in New’ York city, within the last few weeks have found the use of ether extremely beneficial in restoring memories of patients suffering from amnesia. It is hardly probable that the physicians themselves realice the wonderful possibilities of the i field which they have opened up. Since the anesthetic can work such a miracle in restoring memories, it is natural to suppose in the near future the method will become a common practice Wives married to stay-out-all-night husbands should order a botI tie immediately. Then when he comes wandering home in the wee hours of the morning, they can meet j them in the hall as usual. "Where i were you?" they ask in soft tones, taking a firm hold on the poker with one hand and a hidden bottle of ether with the ether. After he has laboriously described the agony of the sick friend he was sitting up with they may clap the bottle under his nose and — •: his memory will return. No more will you be reluctant to lend to your acquaintances. Time makes no difference. Fifteen years later when ; you discover the side street the boo rower had been taking to avoid you, r you can just shove that handy little ether phial under his nostrils. Yes, he'll simply have to remember the circumstances and refund the loan with interest. No doubt about it, ether is a great discovery. What the Housekeeper Thought. Few well-known people have done . more for the cause of temperance than j Lady Henry Somerset, and recently she made an eloquent plea for clubs for women as a means of combating '! the drink evil. Lady Henry, for all her seriousness, I is very fond of a joke, and the story I goes that many years ago she and a ■ lady friend played a capital one on the ■ servants of her ladyship's country 1 mansion. They both dressed up as French ’ tourists. Lady Henry wearing a th<ck ' veil, and were shown round the place '! by the housekeeper. 1 Lady Henry signed her name in the visitors’ book as "Duchesse de Mont- ! morenci." Later on, the unsuspecting 1 housekeeper, who evidently did not j think that the "French” ladies had I been sufficiently lavish in their praise ,■ of the house, told Lady Henry that "that Duchesse de Montmorenci is a I disagreeable person!"—Pearson's. Not So Very Cheap. The man who wishes to economize was advised by a friend to go to a certain restaurant. “Mighty cheap,” said the friend. So the would-be boarder went there. Next day he met that friend. “Pretty cheap place, eh?” said the latter. "Not on your life!” “What do you mean? Can you get as good soup elsewhere as you can there for the price?” “Certainly not." “And did you ever get such roast beef at another place for what you paid at this one?” “I never did.” “Well, then, what under the sun are you kicking about? Why do you say the place isn’t cheap?” “Because." said the man who wanted to save, with the emphasis of a German siege gun, "while I was eating. somebody stole my hat and overcoati"
