! NEW ORR, NOV. u, lS90.-ISpecial cor
respondence of THE HERALD. THE young
women who are studying at the Women's
Medical college of the New York infirmary
nave nice interesting times when they at
tend the clinics at Bellevue hospital Some
OF these lines are so nice and interesting
that if the young women were not uncom
monty plucky they would be tempted occa-
slonally to give up the pursuit of knowl-
! edge as she is learned. The Bellevue elm
les have been for good number of wears
open to girl students, and the white haired
and kindly DR.. Emily Blackwell arranges
her college lectures to certain classes with
! especial reference to the hours they are to
spend at Bellevue. The amphitheatre up
under the roof where the clinics are held is
always full and sometimes crowded, and
the little group Of quiet, uncomfortably ex-
pectant girls, who keep one anotber's cour-
age up as cheeriy as they are able, are
obliged to face some hundreds of the most
riotous youth on the face of this not especi-
ally courteous planet, who shout and cat
call and hiss until the more timid damsels
feel their hearts dropping down, down to
their boots and wildly fluttering up to their
throa5s again.
1t IS one of the beauties of the situation
that the tiers of seats rise row upon row so
steeply that the girls, who enter at the very
top are sighted on the instant by the pack.
which Immediately bursts into full cry,
while its victims feeling their way benin d
the high backs Of the upper benches, get
hardly a glimpse of their tormentors, the
uproar being all the more confusing from
a f.f J., .,k,
seeing you.
AT one Of the first clinics this autumn il
happened to two of the younger girls, un-
used to the ways of the place, to take the
elevator which landed them on the main
floor where the professors enter. instead of
climbing by the stairs to the top behind.
Their appearance was the signal for such
storms OF yells and misses that as they
mounted with doWncaSt faces to their ac-
customed lofty, yet humble posts of obser-
Walton, the blood tingled to their finger tips
and to the ends of their very longest tresses
of hair
No girl goes to Bellevue alone, but as
one little knot of two or three gets its greet
ing and then another, those seated first
take melancholy and uneasy sort of inter
est in noting, as dainty little hat after hat
comes into view above, who get off half
stunned only and who are deafened with
even more than common noise. Seated Ii
there are not seats enough no man offers
one to woman, though | remember hear
ing pretty girl recount last week the gal
lantry OF student who recommended TO
her "a better place to lean on the rail.
When there are vacant chairs, if the upper
seats are taken not ali the girls have cour-
age to run the gauntlet of tongues and de-
scend to any place below, so that at Belle
vue clinics the spectacle is familiar of a
bunch Oh rather forlorn young women
taking their notes standing and hud
died together in good position for reaching
the door.
The Bellevue students do not rotten egg
the girls and have no such intention Of
driving them out as was manifested in har-
barlc days, not long past, at Edinburgh
One OF them says on behalf of his fellows
that to hiss and yell at the girls is evidence
OF good comradeship because that is the
way Jne young men treat one another AT
the Post Graduate hospital the students
have made wonderful advances toward be-
coming gentlemen and the young women
who attend the lectures get much pleas
anter reception.
WOMAN IN CAP AND GOWN.
[ went to hear her the other day. and
though law lecture is no su bect for mirth
L smiled to see that she abates no lot of her
costumlng privileges. In the time honored
academic robes she looks slender and tall
and ner gray eyes shine. "Portia'' was
young and handsome, while the new lee
turer at the University of the CITY of York
is quiet, not especially noticeable woman
with a flock of roliicking children. Yet if
the ladies' who are furnishing the money to
endow her chair really wished to famil ar
lie the public with the idea of women law
yers they have gone about it cannily. for
DR.. Emily kempn is not in any way likely
to teach extreme views. Indeed coming
from Zurich and brought up under contio
mental legal systems she finds herself not
altogether able TO approve the extent of the
property rights of American matrons.
Hearing her one day setting out the hard
SHIPS OF a man whose wife had inherited
money and who yet could not enlarge his
business because the wife kept her fortune
In her own hands, it was amusing TO see
whlte-haired Judge Noah Davis calamity
confront the woman lawyer and defend
against her own sex the complete rightful-
ness OF woman's freedom. Dr. Kempin
gets larger audiences for her lectures to
women students than she does for those
given TO business and non-professional
women.
THE NEW YORK wOMAN's PRESS CIUB
Length of life seems to be assured to it
now that Frohman has promised big ben

now that it has settled itself in cozy head
quarters where it can drink cup of tea.
