SEES NEW ROBES AT HOPE, SHE £122 EACH SMILES'
Chicago, Mar. 1.
FIVE years of sleep has not been enough for Patricia Maguire, Chicago's "sleeping beauty.”
To-day she entered her sixth year of illness without over having awakened from
the comatose condition into which she lapsed on St. Valentine's Eve, 1932.
*
Patricia, then a girl of twenty-five, was a favourite with the young men In the office where she worked as a stengrapher. She Hved with her mother Mrs. Peter Miley.
She seemed in usual good health and usual good spirits when slic told her mother she was going down the street to post a valentine.
Ten minutes later she returned, complaining: "I feel awfully tired and sleepy.
At her mother's urging she went to bed, though it was only early in the evening. Since then she has never left her bed-a victim of a rare form of encephalitis lethargica which baffles doctors. She remained In a perpetual coma, taking semi- liquid foods given by her mother. but without knowing she does it.
For Ave years she has not spoken. She has been unable to give the slightest help to the score of doctors who have tried to help her. Experts in sleeping sickness and neurology have come and gone-while Patricia bas gone on sleeping.

The only stimulus to which the girl responds is her mother's voice. "Smile at me. Patsy, smile," poor, distracted Mira. Alley will say, and Patricia will smalle wanly at the mother who has cared for her ceaselessly.
Patricia is a little more alert than year
380,"
Mrs. Miley said recently. "She smiles more readily when I ask her, but the rest of the time she is in a deep coma. I haven't lost hope. I can't lose hope as long an I see her getting even just a little bit better-but It takes so long, so long."
