/ think woman very good thing IN her
place, and think her place, the best place
for her 70 pe, IS with her head on mans
shoulder. IL she is going to dabble in
modern science, going 70 prOlong life. she
had much better educate herself up to rak-
ing mustard plaster that won't take the
skin oil his breast when he has got pain
there that he thinks means pleurisy, or
pneumonia or some other disease that he
breads worse than he fire Of Rades
DOCTORS IN PETTIcoATs.
You see it was a bad day to invite me, be-
cause nearly all the women who spoke were
women DOCTORS and nave just the same
liking for the women doctors that l have
fer the divided SKIRT. The last is neither
skirt nor pair of trousers, and the first Is
neither doctor nor a woman. Some sweet
hearted girl wrote 70 me and asked me why
l didn't like women doctOrsf Well, | will
tell you why. It's because haven't ii bit
of belief in tbeir ability To cure anything.
10 is distinctly stated that men and women
were made for each other. consequently the
good doctor has got to be the one who walks
the hospitals where men are treated aud
knows all about the diseases of men and not
just those Of women. Then the woman
doctor always seems to have the time aud
inclination TO talk to to woman about her
internal arrangements, until her magma
tion Is fired and she thinks she has every
disease in the world. She gets few medi-
cal phrases in her possession, is very apt to
read nasty medical books, and no topic is
quite as Interesting to her es the one which
hinges on her special complaint. For my
own part. | think it i; a bit indecent.
THERE IS NOT THE SLIGHTEST DANGER
of the American woman of to-day not
knowing enough. The present trouble is
that she will know too much of what she
IN in in. ..f L
had an extremely good time listening to the
NJ. ID. sin petticcats talk about science. and
congratulating myself on the fact that there
were still few men doctors left aliVe-a
sufficient number to care for the women
who have confidence in man, because they
believe he was made in the image of God.
My dear girl, 1t is in you aud me and all
our foremothers to worship something be-
side heaven, and that something ought to
he man; and to place our reliance on
something besides prayer when ore is sick,
and that something ought to be man doc
tor. know this isn't being up with the
times, but it's good. common sense. aud
common sense is almost as difficult TO find
as good doctor, and when you get hold
OF either one or the other, just cling to it
with all your might.
WHEN WHITE BECOMES BLACK
The woman who is we'll dressed in
DrOadcloth gown wears with it dead white
gloves, and she knows they will only en-
dure for once. Cause why Because the
other woman who has got on black gloves
always insists on shaking hands with her,
she don't know whether it's original sin or
accident, but she has 1t strongly impressed
on her mind that it is original sin, for her
.biack-9loved sister sQueeZes her hand very
tight and leaves a beautiful thumb mark
right on top of the glove. Pity, isn't it.
MODERN SCIENCE AND WOMEN.
Modern science has nothing to do with
this, bnt the slight dose of modern science
l got has made me wonder if it teaches all
things, or even some?
Does modern science teach a woman how
to fill hot-water bag properlys And by
properly | mean so il won't be as hard as a
rock and yet have enough heat in it to do
its duty9
Does modern science teach q woman how
to give enough pRregoric to stop a cough
without poisoning her victim'
Does modern science teach woman to
put -four or lard with the mustard that
makes the plaster, SO that the skin won't be
broken?
Does modern science teach a woman how
70 spread the bedclothes over an invalid. SO
they will give warmth without weights
Does modern science teach woman how
to arrange tray, SO that an invalid will
have an appetite rather than lose one?
Does modern science teach a woman how
TO be light-fOoted, sweet and hopeful of
speech and pleasant in manner in the sick
room!
don't believe it is modern science. l Just
believe it's because it is a woman who is the
proud possessor of womanly knowledge
Don't you agree with BAB?
